The goal of our research is to question the Global North’s narratives of the Future through alternative vernacular semiotic constructions. We will analyze the impact that American vernacular semioverses have on the possibility of generating decolonial figurations of alternative futures, based on the theoretical framework of what we call Xenofuturism. Having its roots in Latin America, Xenofuturism has two complementary aspects: the recovery of an active memory of decolonial deconstruction and the understanding of radical alterity. Within these semioverses, we will explore the Aymara cultural figurations for which the future is not ahead but behind, disorienting us from the present, the only temporal dimension in which we exist. In the ancestral cosmogony of the Bolivian-Peruvian Andean, where the Aymara culture stems from the idea of future-past, or that the past can be seen as future, is central. Temporal hybridity tears apart the linearity of Western time and outlines the emergenc...

The need to raise an own epistemological framework in which the design´s researchers are developed and consolidated becomes known with the design creative disciplines, development research works. However, this phenomenon has been extended in the last twenty years, from an increment of the research lines and projects and a growth of the critic mass of post grades and doctorates. The existence of this situation turns necessary the proposal of certain guesswork about the “epistemology of design”, which a construction process and to be genuine must be horizontal, interdisciplinary, systematic, heterodox and collective. Basically, its elaboration is been carrying out from the own design disciplinary field, as for the complex joints of looks toward the design project and research field problems, demonstrates to be vitally needed to face the mentioned epistemology development.

Este articulo surge de una experiencia pedagogica basada en el desarrollo de una metodologia para la investigacion en el ambito de la construccion de problemas de investigacion en arquitectura. La hipotesis que sostuvo la experiencia fue entender a la tropologia como una herramienta para figuracion de problemas epistemicos y heuristicos. La metodologia utilizada consistio en desarrollar un aparato que genera problemas de investigacion a partir del reconocimiento de un topos –un topico o lugar comun epistemico perteneciente al campo disciplinar de la carrera– y su puesta en relacion con un tropos -una figuracion-. Por un lado, el topos fue elegido por cada una/o de las/los estudiantes en funcion de sus problematicas socio-culturales y segun sus situaciones vivenciales concretas en el marco de la arquitectura y el urbanismo. Por el otro, el tropos surgio de un ejercicio de desplazamiento figurativo que permitio dar cuenta de las potencialidades predicativas antes que denominativas del...

The article presents and discusses the experience of a workshop held online in 2020 as part of the DigitalFUTURES event. The proposal found its starting point in the register of a world in the midst of a pandemic crisis. The general objective of the workshop was the construction of a design thinking capable of acting on the domestic by means of a disobedience projected towards a possible future. In this framework, digital disobedience became an exercise in critically questioning certain ambiguities of digital interfaces in their everyday omnipresence. By adopting a decolonial sight on design through an epistemology from the South, it was possible to achieve at alternative figurations of futures. These figurations led to the design of a series of futuristic domestic devices capable of exploring disobedient scenarios of domestic dwelling.

These eight storyboards were exhibited at the 16th Annual International Conference of the Architectural Humanities Research Association at the University of Dundee, UK. They were designed by Paul Guzzardo and Gustavo Cardon. The tableaus are set in barrios in Buenos Aires, Argentina. They were developed for two Buenos Aires architectural graduate workshops and UNESCO presentations in France, Lithuania and Sweden.1 The storyboards were proposed as an alternative to the desiccated storylines that gag most urban design briefs. They offer a new mythic stew, as “triage way stations” to map a way out of the digital mesh-up we are slapped hard against and as mythic blueprints for a line of firewalls against weaponized data. Despite the fact that digital buckshot is coming at hyper-speed, a conversation about myth and the practice of architecture has been ignored. Myths contain seeds of new stories, stories that incrementally increase intelligence.

Montevideo has a new visitor. In the heritage building of the german architect Karl Trambauer, located in the Old City, a new presence was installed filling the vacuum left by its former collapsed dome, seeking to restore a message, adding a new vision and recovering the lost dialogue between the architecture, the city and its inhabitants. This paper summarizes and explains the experience of the workshop Adaptation 2015, held on September 2015 at the Universidad de la República, Uruguay. Exposing the theoretical framework, design strategies, morphogenetic development, digital manufacturing experimentations, conclusions and open questions from the experience made. We will go through this temporary intervention on Trambauer's building, being a rare but symbiotic object, with parametric genes, digital and handcrafted manufacture, and also looking for the impact of theory and academic practices in the city.

Treinta lecturas componen este volumen. Entre todas ellas, van tejiendo minuciosamente un ameno correlato del Viaje de Arquitectura; a través de historias, impresiones, y opiniones.
Cada una de las treinta lecturas es per se una invitación a la reflexión; y por ende, también una invitación a viajar con el pensamiento.
En todas ellas, las palabras construyen conceptos, despiertan ideas, y transmiten un sentir. Las palabras provocan, inquietan, movilizan.
Desde el inicio del itinerario hasta las postrimerías del mismo, estas metalecturas acompañan al lector haciéndolo parte del viaje, invitándolo a transitar nuevos destinos, y a vislumbrar otros horizontes.
