Presentation
The Ph.D. program in Design and Creation aims to study the nature
and practice of the design and creation, through the investigation
and the interdisciplinary processes that are coordinated from the
design, the art, the sciences and the technologies.
The investigation groups that remain at the University of Caldas are
supported by experimental processes that have developed other
national and international academic institutions through original researches.
The Program emerged from groups of investigation of the Visual
Design Department; it joins to other investigation groups belonging
to the Faculty of Arts and Humanities. It aims to develop interdisciplinary processes that lead the arts, social and human science, the
environment and computer science, the education, the engineering
and the entrepreneurship.
The proposal of the Ph.D. in Design and Creation receives support
from COLCIENCIAS and the MINISTRY OF EDUCATION in the
national call of support to the creation of doctorates, based on the
master’s degrees consolidated in 2007.

Methodological Strategie
The academic program of the Ph.D. is divided into three phases of
academic training: preliminary, specific and dissertation.
The preliminary phase includes training seminars in Advanced Topics
in Design and Creation; networks, interfaces and technologies;
Research Seminars in Esthetics and Design; and Thematic seminars
in design and creation. These seminars can be approved if the
student who joins to the Ph.D. comes from the Master’s Degree in
Design and Interactive Creation.
The specific phase requires a year of seminars that should be
focused on researches, elective subjects which study in depth the
most important aspects of researches on Design and Creation and
the online Latin American postgraduate courses which are given in
consensus with the University of Chile, the National University of
Córdoba, Argentina and the University of Caldas, Colombia.
The dissertation requires two years of research, creative production
and development, depending on the nature of the research problem.
The first year of the dissertation phase consists of internships, university
teaching processes in undergraduate programs and dynamics of
investigation that emphasize the themes of the thesis; and the next
year the development and the synthesis of the thesis.
Research Lines
The Ph.D. proposes four lines of research based on the developed
projects, these are:
-
Interaction Design, Art, Science and Technology.
Design and development of interactive products.
Knowledge-management and knowledge-brokering.
Sustainability, art, society and environment.
The lines of investigation determine the Program’s courses of the fundamental credits and the elective seminars. The research seminars
are epistemologically based on design and creation projects.
The Visual Design Department of the University of Caldas has two
investigation groups recognized by Colciencias: DICOVI (Diseño y
Cognición en Entornos Visuales y Virtuales - Design and Cognition
in Visual and Virtual Environments) and a group of Investigaciones
Estéticas y Sociales en Diseño (Aesthetic and Social investigations
in Design). Furthermore the doctorate is built on the following investigation groups:
- DICOVI. Diseño y Cognición en Entornos Visuales y Virtuales. (Design and Cognition in Visual and Virtual Environments).
Category B
- Investigaciones Estéticas y Sociales en Diseño (Aesthetic and Social investigations in Design).
Category C
- PENSAMIENTO AMBIENTAL. Estéticas y Poéticas del habitar
Contemporáneo. (ENVIRONMENTAL THOUGHT. Aesthetics and
Poetics of Contemporary living).
National University - University of Caldas.
Category B
- ARTESCULTURA. (ARTSCULPTURE)
Category C
- INNOV-ACCIÓN EDUCATIVA. (EDUCATIONAL INNOV-ACTION)
Category A
- TÁNTALO. (TANTALUS).
Category B
- COGNICIÓN Y EDUCACIÓN. (COGNITION AND EDUCATION).
