DONOSO, Sergio  and  WECHSLER, Andrea. Los materiales bio basados y el paradigma desarrollista latinoamericano: perspectivas desde el Diseño industrial. Cuad. Cent. Estud. Diseñ. Comun., Ensayos [online]. 2023, n.114, pp.84-112.  Epub June 01, 2023. ISSN 1853-3523.  http://dx.doi.org/10.18682/cdc.vi114.4116.

The developmentalism theory proposes that the progress of countries is based on the industrialization and import substitution, against extractive development, which has been the Latin American paradigm in recent decades. The new modes of social aggregation and the DIY culture propose a circular economy for sustainable development, including biomaterials developed by the communities themselves. However, those are not necessarily industrial materials because they lack of approval, which raises deep implications for the design.

We present a state of Latin American art, about communities that produce their own materials and some cases where design has intervened.

Keywords : biomaterials; circular economy; maker culture; sustainable design; developmentalism.
