We aim to value and develop the students¿ conceptual, creative and technical skills to the maximum, in order to satisfy the demands of the market, as well as suggest alternatives that are more consistent with the existing problems. Consequently, we established a pedagogy that aims to develop students' ability to respond to the problems of Design, linking creative thinking with logical analysis, reporting to the framework required by today's world - respect for the environment and the human dimension (in its various forms), in search of a more inclusive and liveable world for all, using new technologies and the materials available.
