IdN v18n6: Humorous Design — Design in Contempt

Creative City: Buenos Aires
Where the boom is on the other foot

Known for being the birthplace of tango music and some of the most talented footballers on the planet, Buenos Aires is fast emerging from the slump caused by the country's economic crisis of less than a decade ago and is now attracting artists from Europe and the US, presently mired in their own financial depressions. Long admired as one of the most advanced cities in South America, with its marked European cultural heritage, the country's capital, which is where 90 percent of Argentinian designers are based, is undergoing a creative revival. But can it survive the fierce competition that is arising – both locally and from the spread of globalisation? We ask 10 top Buenos Aires-based designers for their views on the contemporary scene there.

"I believe that the catalyst for our recent growth in this aspect is a mixture of technology and communication, i.e. globalisation. Visual cultures from all over the world suddenly became easily and immediately accessible. This led to a growth in the design consciousness of ordinary people, who started appreciating and asking for better design and more efficient visual communication."
