Resumen de Placing us: Environments design methodology
A tradition was once an innovation that reaches us due to the culture established in the temporal and spatial context that accompanies us. Critical reflection is justified as a continuous contextual activity whose effect is reflected in our imagination, profoundly shaping our inner life, transforming beliefs, and affecting the attitudes that shape opinions and behavior. The mission of Environments Design encompasses the physical and virtual space according to the delimitation and positioning of the action that is intended to be developed, encompassing scenarios and facilities that circumscribe surroundings and establish the place for responsible performance, understanding of the ethical, and reflection on the aesthetic, functional and reliability qualities. The process model that guides the methodology, evaluated in the Ph.D. in Design carried out by the author, was adapted for methodological application in a pedagogical context within the scope of Environments Design during Postdoc research. The aim is to establish new practices that involve the essential dimension of the artifact and not just the material. This methodology intends to be responsible for the set of reflection methods and techniques on practices of modeling the effect/repercussions of the built environments, reformulating its performance in the modeling of behaviors, considering that it occurs retroactively, and determining in advance that the effect can modify what is established.
