Radical design that acknowledges multiplicity in the context of what is potentially being proposed. The term stems from the critical design studies of Colombian anthropologist Arturo Escobar who asserts that designers should draw from the humanitarian character of materials, culture, politics, epistemologies, and ontologies. The idea of this is in dialogue with what is at stake in the application of the core-periphery model as it attempts to resolve the comparative analysis of global design through a colonial lens by applying it to the concept of the pluriverse instead. Escobar additionally acknowledges the contradiction of the term “autonomous”, as he claims it is dependent on the people and their above mentioned humanitarian character that it is meant to benefit from. The conceptual creation of this was heavily inspired a great deal from the Quechua philosophy known as Buen Vivir or sumak kawsay (good living) promoting a sustainable way of life based on the ecologies surrounding them.
