MALO, Genoveva. Resonancias de Bauhaus en Latinoamérica y el caso de la Escuela de Diseño en Cuenca, Ecuador Entre similitudes y diferencias, ¿una Bauhaus latinoamericana?. Cuad. Cent. Estud. Diseñ.

This article seeks to contextualize the historic-cultural period of the early and late twentieth century, in which the German Bauhaus School of Design and the School of Design in Cuenca, Ecuador were founded. The point of interest consists in analyzing the defining characteristics of each academic project, that share a common emphasis on artisanal crafts and the re-evaluation of it’s practice in the teaching-learning process of design. The similarities and differences found in research signal the possible influence that Bauhaus may have had in Latin America. We also refer to the identity issue at its intersections with design and its construction as part of a cultural process.

Keywords : Design and artisanal crafts; Bauhaus and Latin America; Design and cultural context..
