Animali domestici por Nicoletta Branzi & Andrea Branzi: del nomadismo cultural al concepto radicante en el diseño ecosocial

Abstract

The article presents a critical analysis of the work Animali Domestici (1985) designed by Nicoletta Branzi and Andrea Branzi. The text calls into question the extemporaneousness of the work that, in the mid-1980s, anticipated important discussions on the transformations of the design culture, the development of technology and the economy. In view of this, we resumed the texts of Giedion, Restany, Branzi, Weil, Bourdieu etc to expand the central discussions of the work: cultural nomadism as a vector for thinking about diversity. Thus, we investigate how the performance of the explorer designers presents the radicant concept impacting the conception of ecosocial design in its dialogue with fashion.
