Speaker Facts: Alfredo Gutiérrez B. is Associate Professor of Industrial Design at the Universidad Jorge Tadeo Lozano of Bogotá. He is interested in opening “the future” to other pasts and “the past” to other futures. Gutiérrez explores the confluence between Western design and archeology (the only ones, to tell the truth) and the polycardinal prefigurative forms (from outside the West) that he calls dessobons.
