In the scope of design, a field of practice and academic discipline, the challenge for the profession and the future education is huge. Above all, these challenges have to do with large scale and with processes requiring the ability to deal with more complex conceptual frameworks, with a set of context dimensions involving economic, ecological, social, cultural, and political issues of societies in permanent change. The design community recognizes the value of designer's multidisciplinary skills and the ability to lead processes involving large socio-technical systems. However, today the designer faces the challenge of multidisciplinary working teams where skills go far beyond their traditional abilities. The thinking and practice of design reveals a set of core values &#8203;&#8203;and virtues of the designers that allows a strategic positioning of these professionals in the complex problem-solving context. Nevertheless, designers will have an increasingly demanding role in creating products, services and experiences which mean a profession under pressure to evolve towards a more complex activity requiring new general and specialized skills. The objective of our reflection is about designer&#8217;s competencies transition demand, an imperative requiring technological and management skills and leadership capacity on sustainable solutions complex processes. Despite this recognition, designers must be prepared about collaboration and cooperation skills, a necessity more and more in tension with a reality where the whole potential of design to deal with complexity remains unaware. Design community reflects about designer&#8217;s strategic value for facing global challenges and points out the complexity approach as a requirement of design education in the future. Considered a condition for design expansion this concern is also revealed in design education research contributions. This contextual disposition makes possible to regard an alignment about a direction to pursue. This paper presents a reflection about this problematic field which intends to be a contribution to understand how design discipline can evolve meeting the designer&#8217;s community recognition of the necessity of a set of updated critical dimensions for design activity. This reflection looks at the design community before a strong demand for an evolution, pushing to a design education deep transformation. This kind of evolution for design may occur first in the professional practice and will be primarily caused, in our perspective, by the desirable and the unavoidable impact on design processes of a design community's new mindset about core principles.]]></p></abstract>
<abstract abstract-type="short" xml:lang="pt"><p><![CDATA[Resumo Perante a transformação acelerada da realidade questionamos o papel humano no contexto tecnológico, colocando a necessidade de pensar sobre a importância de competências intrinsecamente humanas. No âmbito do design, campo de prática profissional e campo disciplinar, o desafio para a profissão e para a formação futura é enorme. Acima de tudo, os desafios têm a ver com a grande escala e com processos que exigem a capacidade de lidar com enquadramentos conceituais mais complexos, com um conjunto de dimensões de contexto que envolvem questões económicas, ecológicas, sociais, culturais e políticas de sociedades em permanente mudança. A comunidade de design reconhece o valor das competências multidisciplinares dos designers e a sua capacidade para liderar processos envolvendo grandes sistemas sociotécnicos. No entanto, hoje o designer enfrenta o desafio de equipas de trabalho multidisciplinares onde as competências vão muito para além das suas competências tradicionais. O pensamento e a prática do design revelam um conjunto de valores e virtudes fundamentais dos designers que permitem um posicionamento estratégico destes profissionais no contexto da solução de problemas complexos. No entanto, os designers terão um papel cada vez mais exigente na criação de produtos, serviços e experiências que significam uma profissão sob pressão para evoluir para uma atividade mais complexa que exige novas competências gerais e especializadas. O objetivo da nossa reflexão é sobre a exigência de transição de competências do designer, um imperativo que exige competências tecnológicas e de gestão e capacidade de liderança em processos complexos de soluções sustentáveis. Apesar deste reconhecimento, os designers devem estar preparados para a capacidade de colaboração e cooperação, uma necessidade cada vez mais em tensão com uma realidade onde todo o potencial do design para lidar com a complexidade permanece desconhecido. A comunidade de design reflete sobre o valor estratégico do designer para enfrentar os desafios globais e aponta a abordagem da complexidade como requisito da educação em design no futuro. Considerada uma condição para a expansão do design é uma preocupação que também se revela nas contribuições da investigação sobre educação em design. Esta disposição contextual possibilita considerar a existência de um alinhamento sobre uma direção a seguir. Este artigo apresenta uma reflexão sobre esta problemática que pretende ser um contributo para compreender como a disciplina de design pode evoluir indo ao encontro do reconhecimento da comunidade de designers sobre a necessidade de um conjunto de dimensões críticas atualizadas para a atividade de design. Olhamos para a comunidade de design perante uma forte pressão por uma evolução, empurrando uma profunda transformação da educação em design. Esta evolução para o design pode ocorrer primeiro na prática profissional e será causado principalmente, na nossa perspetiva, pelo impacto desejável e inevitável nos processos de design da nova mentalidade de uma comunidade de design sobre princípios fundamentais.]]></p></abstract>
