Teaching
My teaching is articulated around design as an inquisitive, situated, and experimental practice. Through courses such as Research Through Design, Mediations, among others, I encourage students to develop the capacities to interrogate technologies, problematize complex sociomaterial contexts, and experiment with alternative forms of intervention.
Teaching is conceived as a space of collective exploration, where design operates not only as problem-solving but as a tool for producing knowledge, opening controversies, and mediating between human, technical, and more-than-human worlds.
Courses
Critical Design
In this course, students develop artifacts, scenarios, and prototypes to question dominant assumptions, make controversies visible, and open debates about the social, political, and ethical implications of technology and material culture.
Research through Design
In this course, design processes and artifacts are used as means to produce original knowledge, explore complex problems, and generate questions about the social, technical, and material world.
Mediations: Research Workshop
This course, taught together with Francisco Díaz (UC Architecture), addresses contemporary crises by articulating analytical, sensory, and project-based forms of knowledge. Through a research-creation methodology, students work on real socio-environmental controversies with the aim of designing mediation devices that make these conflicts visible and open spaces for collective deliberation.
