Abstract

Introduction: In 2022 the Catholic University of Temuco created a new educational program at the Faculty of Architecture, Arts & Design: the career of Creative Crafts. With an interdisciplinary spirit, the current director suggested the implementation of a large format computerized numerical control paste deposition machine. Methodology: A request was made to students who want to redesign and manufacture this machine. Results: The outcomes of this project were the elaboration of the CNC machine, redesigning parts and pieces to adjust to available processes and materialities, as well as its start-up, to find and identify the first failures that could arise about its electronics, such as some parts and their materiality. Discussion: we initiated a discussion focused on the possibilities of self-managing and producing equipment within the careers, the evaluation of open resource models of numerical control machines. By adapting and redesigning foreign models to our reality and available manufacturing process, tracing a new way for the production of equipment for our faculty.

Luis Garcia Lara, Temuco Catholic University

He is currently developing his academic activity at the FAAD+O of the Catholic University of Temuco, teaching Architecture, Arts and Design courses in Architectural Workshop, Design Workshop, Analogue Drawing, Computer Drawing and others. At the same time he is a doctoral student at the Universidad del Biobio with a thesis on the work of the architect Roberto Matta Echaurren, collaborating in the FONDECYT 1221730 project, whose head is Dr. Architect Rodrigo García Alvarado. He also develops interdisciplinary research activities in the area of digital humanities, presenting in national and international congresses such as: DRHA2022, BAMC2022, CUICIID2022, IHTC2021, CHILECON2021 with scientific publications in publishers such as Taylor & Francis, Springerlink and others.

Sybille von Baer Jahn, Temuco Catholic University

Trained as a designer, she has been working for more than 20 years in the field of ceramics and crafts in charge of the Keramik workshop, a collective workshop in Temuco where she gives classes, training and design projects for public and private spaces. Sibylle specialised in ceramics and clays at the Emily Carr Institute in Vancouver, Canada and then returned to Chile to get involved in cultural and community projects linked to crafts, creative manual work and handicrafts, highlighting the creation of the artistic collective CasaO and the community work carried out in the Juan Colipe Community by the Aitue Foundation.
