Industrial design is a relatively new discipline in Guatemala, the first university to teach such a career was the Rafal Landívar University in 1987. The parameters and methodologies of teaching industrial design highlight a great European influence, which is debated between two currents : one from the Staatliche Bauhaus or Bauhaus School and the other from the Hochschule für Gestaltung-HfG in Ulm. The first one founded in 1919 in Weimar, Germany by Walter Gropius, and the second one started in 1953 in Ulm, Germany by Otl Aicher, Max Bill and Inge Aicher-Scholl; both founded post first and second world war, respectively. The objective of this work is to expose both theories and generate an analysis of how they are related to the thematic approaches for teaching industrial design at the URL, to support the current or currents that govern their current approach to teaching the discipline.
