GARCIA DE LA CARCOVA, Alejo. Del diseño industrial al design thinking. Perspectiva histórica de una disciplina en construcción. Cuad. Cent. Estud. Diseñ. Comun., Ensayos [online]. 2021, n.94, pp.88-98.  Epub Aug 25, 2021. ISSN 1853-3523.  http://dx.doi.org/10.18682/cdc.vi94.3890.

Design thinking - a relatively new discipline in terms of its validation at the institutional level - arises to meet the new needs of the corporate world, through the appropriation of the processes linked to industrial design, from which it emerges.

From a historical perspective of the knowledge and methodologies linked to professional training and teaching of industrial design, a journey is drawn up that begins with a broad set of professions that make up this new discipline to, starting with design thinking, return to expand the limits of industrial design. As an introduction, the beginnings of the discipline linked to serial production will be reviewed; then it will advance in its institutionalization; its present in a globalized world; the conformation and validation of design thinking as heir to industrial design; and finally, its recognition at the institutional level in terms of teaching and professional practice in the corporate world.
