Abstract
More and more the discipline of Design is expected to assume a prominent role as an agent for social transformation in the transition towards a sustainable society. These demands that come from both the academic and the social spheres, and show the need to establish new working synergies with the resilient movements of local communities which pose a fertile scenario emerging from new challenges for the pedagogy of design.
On the other hand, from a methodological point of view the fitting with these movements of social resilience requires an open and participatory design process, that must include communities in a horizontal decisionmaking system, and at the same time offer open design solutions that can grow and adapt following the evolution of the changing needs of these communities.
Within these premises, the case of a communications design project carried out in collaboration between a group of design students of Escola Superior de Disseny i Arts Plàstiques and the self-managed collective that dynamizes the project of urban agriculture and organic community named Espai Quiró in the neighborhood of la Salut (Barcelona) will be studied.
Both the work of the community managing the space and the intervention of the students participating in this pedagogical experience, responded to a model of design committed to citizenship and neighborhood associations, led by citizens themselves, that overcame the dominant models of behavior and participated in the idea of transition to a new alternative way of living in the cities: with a more unhurried and sustainable rhythm of life advocating collaborative work and empowerment of the associative network of the neighborhood and a re-appropriation of public pace by local communities.
