La investigación en sustentabilidad
(Universidad Autónoma Metropolitana (México). Unidad Azcapotzalco. División de Ciencias y Artes para el Diseño., 2024-12) Flores Carapia, Martín Lucas
In the last 50 years, the topic of the use and exploitation of natural and technological resources, as well as the conservation of natural environments, have been important axes of research in the various areas of human endeavor. In the academic circles of the design disciplines there has been growing concern about the role that design should play in promoting sustainable development. Research on sustainability is different in each discipline. The question is: How to approach it from design?.
Instrumentos de consulta para la investigación
(Universidad Autónoma Metropolitana (México). Unidad Azcapotzalco. División de Ciencias y Artes para el Diseño., 2024-12) Clavé Almeida, Manuel Martín
In this globalized world where information flows in seconds and is supposedly within the immediate reach of anyone and anywhere on the planet, there is a belief that information, simply because it comes from a digital medium, it is of quality and truthful, a perception that is completely erroneous and mistaken, as the Internet is an open network and welcomes all types of content from any source, without any verification filter that guarantees the quality and certainty of the information data. Under the coverage of that premise, today thousands of texts are written based on information obtained in this way with what in academia we know as “copy and paste” and which results in the repetition of errors that multiply even in serious books, whose authors did not go to the original sources to verify the information they blindly reproduce. With this small contribution I intend to interest readers in resorting to the rich sources of information offered by the various archives of Mexico City, from the General Archive of the Nation, which, as its name well indicates, contains data of general interest about all topics related to our history, as well as the archives that house specific information in a particular field.
