This research puts into dialogue the concept of socio-visual hegemony in the materiality constructed of historical objects such as writing models on architectural facades, as well as the functionalism of the Bahausian paradigm questioned by its elements and its relationship-function in the materialized and dynamic structure, contradictory and historically conflictive of the social whole. The functionalist reading in the writing models suggested that they are not essential for a building and that, structurally, they were considered for an internal differentiation and systematic articulation as an alternative in that social reality. The writing models in architecture as materialized means of social practice, with the use of elementary materials in an urban space and hegemonic complex symbolic operators. Each symbolic representation, shaped letter, allows readability with differential discursive parameters from socio-visual hegemony as a conjugation of forces through a multiplicity of differential transformations-accumulations materialized at a given moment. The initial method was oriented with the identification of 49 objects of the functionalist delimited period and their exploration from the look of the design in a descriptive and interpretive way; setting specific areas of inquiry from the review of historical documentation to the exploration of cultural and ethnographic aspects. This study achieves a clear approximation between the concept of social-visual hegemony in writing models and the reconsideration of architectural social functionalism.    

En México, los niños presentan dificultades para la comprensión lectora. La empobrecida calidad educativa a nivel general provoca que las capacidades de aprendizaje en los niños no estén a la altura de otras naciones, a pesar de que el desarrollo de los planes de estudio sea variado y completo. A partir de este estudio se pudo establecer que la integración de las tecnologías de la información y la comunicación (TIC) en la estrategia pedagógica y de difusión de información resulta más lúdica y atractiva para usuarios infantiles. En ese sentido, se desarrolló la propuesta de implementar tótems interactivos como parte de la estrategia de enseñanza y difusión a este tipo de audiencia.

This study analyzes the relationship between the teaching-learning process of the history of Peru and the construction of Peruvian identity, understanding that these concepts must be discussed at home in addition to what they might have seen at school. Thus, the study focuses on a proposal that has as its main resource the use of two-dimensional animation for teaching the history of Peru, designed for children in the fifth grade of a private school in the city of Lima, valuing the importance it represents. the construction of identity at that age.       Taking into account their natural characteristics such as being digital natives that require technological resources that allow them to capture and retain their attention in the sent message, the wiñay.pe project was born, which consists of the design of an educational portal that contains a series of elements visuals that allow the knowledge of the history of Peru. Part of this project consists of using two-dimensional animation, which allows to tell the main historical facts of the history of Peru, likewise, auxiliary didactic material such as a board game and didactic sheets will be included as support and help in the classes.

The disciplinary principles of information design can expand the possibilities of the educational experience in medical teaching. This article shows evidence of a research project in which three different areas intervene: Medicine, Education, and Design; the project is focused and harnessed through the intervention of ideas and practices that prevail in information design, with the use of center-user methods such as the Delphi technique, it was possible to approach the creation of an original instructional model that serves as a guide for medical teachers to design digital materials with the purpose of fostering clinical reasoning in undergraduate students. The intervention of information design that acts as a guiding axis in decision-making and as an integrating force of the conceptual and creative processes, is capable of coordinating and integrating the different perspectives of these three areas of knowledge.

This article presents the design of the identity and diffusion of a social collective that alerts the long dwell time of minors in provisional public foster homes. Child and adolescent abandonment are a latent reality in Peru, but the issue is not a matter of debate, and that the development of the underage inside a family must prevail. It’s not suitable that the minors remain in public fosters homes, CAR according to its initials in Spanish, with no consideration towards their right to live in a family and develop properly. (Castro & Fernández, 2013). That is why it is mandatory for society to get involved, which is intended with the visual and discursive design of a collective called "Alarma Maraña", impulsed by social media and which its target are men and women that wish to commit with the cause. A ludic video was produced and presented in the form an educational intervention, which documented and raised awareness about this subject and strengthened the formation of the collective. Through this project the possibility of sensitizing the society has been deepened, thanks to visual communication tools and strategies, achieving the expected goals.

Este artículo narra la importancia del color como “rasgo identitario” y componente fundamental en la comunicación visual, considerando que la identidad de algunas culturas tiene sus raíces en los colores que han distinguido su arte a través de la historia. Los esfuerzos del ser humano por organizar el vasto conjunto de colores que distinguimos nacen desde Aristóteles y continúan hasta la actualidad con los catálogos de color Munsell y Pantone. Sin embargo, los colores propios de las culturas peruanas no están identificadas con precisión en dichos patrones, además de que, en Perú, no es común contar con un sistema propio de identificación de colores. No existe un registro cromático de los textiles precolombinos ni una gama de colores que los identifique como cultura en el mundo y que facilite su uso en proyectos que necesiten comunicar identidad. Los arqueólogos del área textil de algunos museos en Perú no contaban con una descripción de color exacta al momento del registro y conservación de textiles. Así es como se diseña Perú a Color, un registro cromático de textiles precolombinos de la costa sur del Perú que servirá como una herramienta para fortalecer la identidad cultural en proyectos de diseño, arqueología, arquitectura y otras disciplinas relacionadas.

The process of Japanese immigration to Peru left as a cultural heritage moral values ??that distinguish the Nikkei community within the general community. With the syncretism of migration, there is a perception that these values ??are being lost, this research determines that this loss is based on the way and the means in which cultural heritage is disseminated, generating a lack of definition of identity. Traditional Japanese festivals are used as a common point to spread the Nikkei culture performed only for the occasion of celebration, thus missing the opportunity to spread the cultural heritage. This is how Migrando Valores was created, a project to reinsert and promote values ??relating them to the festivities of the community and aimed at the new Peruvian Nikkei generations.   In this way, the illustrated chronicle was chosen as the main product whose characteristic is to be easily accessible, quick to understand and effective arrival. The content of each chronicle maintains a relationship between the festival and the proposed value. The use of graphic narrative turns it into a moldable medium, of rapid understanding and with aesthetic impact, accompanied in addition to mobile resources such as "pop up" and Papertoy "generating interaction with the reader. The Migrando Valores project seeks to change the way in which values ??are transmitted by applying a method to generate pregnancy in new generations.

En este artículo se reporta la experiencia de abordar el diseño de infografías científicas a través de una perspectiva multidisciplinaria, al implementar un modelo de trabajo en desarrollo basado en el diseño de información. Se trata de un proyecto de investigación en curso en el que se involucra a estudiantes de diversas disciplinas con énfasis en la formación integral de diseñadores gráficos. Se eligió trabajar una investigación cualitativa experimental que involucra a docentes y estudiantes mediante estrategias etnográficas para recolectar información durante el proceso de trabajo multidisciplinario. El modelo Alicia todavía está en desarrollo, pero ha dado evidencia de contribuir a la práctica del diseño al lograr generar un proceso de comunicación de la ciencia a través de infografías científicas para organizar procesos complejos cuando trabajan multidisciplinariamente profesionistas con diversos trasfondos. Mediante un proceso modular, guiado por los principios del diseño de la información, el modelo Alicia ha demostrado eficiencia al facilitar la interacción multidisciplinar, manteniendo la autonomía de las diferentes profesiones, mientras que el conjunto de interacciones va retroalimentando a todos los actores involucrados en el diseño de infografías científicas.
