Cosmo-morfologia do design andino

Abstract

The objective of this work is to identify, according to sociocultural contributions, symbolism, worldview and Andean hermeneutics, using textile designs as a visual reference. There is a need to rethink creative processes from Andean knowledge, seeking the richness of being and Amerindian knowledge, moving away from the current predominance of the Western approach to thought, exploring the expressive-creative foundations product of complex abstractions of Andean design components. The work was observational experimental ethnographic; methodological on documentary consultations, specialized publications and databases; and, exploratory. Once the investigation was concluded, it was possible to identify the symbolic, hermeneutic and Andean worldview components from its socio-cultural structure. A graphic-composite approach to Andean textile designs was established. The fundamentals of the design were elaborated based on its theoretical-practical construction, and a methodological proposal was made between the images and the Ecuadorian worldview.
