Abstract

This paper constitutes the starting point of a research (CNCA Fondart 2015) oriented towards the documentation, analysis and dissemination of the production of the Industrial Design Group, a governmental team lead by Gui Bonsiepe, active within the Technological Research Committee (INTEC) of the Chilean Economic Development Agency (CORFO), between January 1970 and September 1973, during the Marxist presidency of Salvador Allende. The research aims to deepen the study of design’s history in Latin America and Chile, by analysing processes of transference, adaptation, appropriation and transformation of design methods coined in post-war Europe, and specifically by HfG-Ulm. The working hypothesis states that the compiling of the Design Group’s archive and the analytical reconstruction of its prototypes would allow determining the late development of these project methodologies, in a cultural and political context defined by a non-competitive society and the national search for technological independence.
