Message from the Chancellor

The renewal of the Development Plan 2014-2030 of the


Art, Architecture and Design University Center gathers and
organizes objectives and strategies, and allows the evaluation
of goals and outstanding issues in search of development,
which will benefit society and satisfy its demand for top, ethic
and competent professionals.
The main issues of this document are Teaching,
Investigation and postgraduate studies, university connection to business, expansion and
broadcasting, internationalization, management and government, which are organized in
common goals for all university network in the year 2030.
For each one of these issues there are very particular and specific objectives, strategies
and indicators planned from a critical point of view according to what we are and do in present
time as a university community, aimed to what we want and have to be in the future to adapt
ourselves and improve our constantly changing environment.
The proposals made by the Institutional Development Plan have created quality indicators
that have given our Center its reputation. Participation of all the members within the CUAAD1
community is critical not only to reach the goals set, but also to maintain the reputation and
Excellency that we must keep to be part of the distinguished University of Guadalajara.

1. 1. Main trends in art, architecture and design disciplines

In the artistic disciplines, regional and at times national trends echo exogenous in-
puts, enhanced by criticism and often by the market, based on local proposals or
counterproposals to exogenous inputs, enhanced by criticism and often, by the market.
Art and culture are undeniable elements for social development as seen in the Mexi-
can Governement recommendations for
strengthening them both internationally
and nationally. However, Mexico’s
assigned budget for these matters fails
to meet expectations substantially.
The regional aspect receives, through
the Information and Communication Te-
chnologies (TIC’S), the influences of the
artistic expressions nationally and inter-
nationally. Some of them, in the case of
Visual Arts, respond to the use of new
tools, materials, processes and
techniques (electronic and / or
mechanical) for
the gestation of a project or exhibition. In the search for new stimuli, some other res-
pond to resources with a conceptual-methodological character, with emotional
extraversion.
The Fine Arts student is a progressive exponent of his discipline, from orthodox to
minimalist art, deconstruction, conceptual art, the happening. He knows the heritage of
the twentieth century trends, many of them attached or contesting, from
postmodernism and consumerism.
Globalization always leads to knowledge of new cultural expressions. Similarly, in the
case of the Performing Arts such as theater and dancing, technologies are integrated
from the conception of the work and its application to scene. It is through
experimentation and the different narrative structures that the genre trends point to
new perceptions of the spectacle of the performance. In these trends, schools,
formats, supports and paradigms blend, demonstrating the need for a high
qualitative performance of the student, but also from the teacher in the sense of a
constant training and updating.

Plan de Desarrollo Institucional 2014-2030 | cuaad

Folk dance is also favored by the use of new tools in the assemblies, and this finds
expression in an increased demand for tourism and cultural training. The tradition of
the dance performance languages that speak and show the great cultural wealth of
the region is barely diminished by the ravages of modern disciplines.
In the case of film studies, the Department of Image and Sound (DIS) holds a powerful
methodological and social consciousness corpus. A demand for the use of digital
platforms in image and sound as well as for marketing is foreseen. On the other hand,
the Department of Music trains professionals according to their purposes. One of its
challenges will be to include musical genres and languages that are not necessarily
classic; from the vernacular, to the technological.
In all cases, the imprint is a constant updating of teachers and their curriculum, as
required and promoted by new artistic experiences. The creation of forums for the
performing arts (dance, music, theater) and film, the emphasis on the social
commitment of university-graduated artists poured into their cultural proposal.
Reinforcing criteria and non-hegemonic paradigms, not inbred. A take towards multi
and trans-disciplinary art, the crossovers and transversal-like disciplines; and the
necessary increase of the budget for staging, management and implementation of
projects for the dissemination of our academic work. In the latter category there is a
clear disadvantage in the international comparison, which is only limited by the
reputation and quality of education in our university.
The profession of architecture, due to its relevance, importance and significance in
the history of humanity, is regulated in most countries. On the other hand, there
are worldwide professional and architectural education organizations that have
established the Letter of Architectural Education Unesco-International Union of
Architects (UIA) and the recommendations of international standards and
professionalism in the practice of architecture. These and other similar documents are
intended to establish the required skills for architects, allowing them international
mobility with the guarantee that the health, safety and welfare of the public will be
taken, essential duties of the profession.
Similarly, architects, of both mutual recognition and educational accreditation
systems that allow the professional practice of architecture, carry out international
agreements. This discipline and the built environment have humanistic and social con-
notations, so that building is considered as a part of the human being; it is stated that
producing working tools and the construction of the dwelling or living space are among
the first acts of civilization.

10
Plan de Desarrollo Institucional 2014-2030 | cuaad

The essence of architecture is the


arrangement of the space inhabited by
humans. An adequate environment for
human activities should be built
according to a set of different
constraints (technological, ecological,
etc.) Their progress in terms of
participation in national and
international organizations related to the
professional and educational field allows
this discipline to be at the forefront of
the core competencies.
Our university is actively and jointly
working to establish basic parameters and requirements resulting in updating of
curricula and better preparation of graduates. In the theoretical and practical
production in architecture and design there is relatively recent knowledge of interest,
these are environmental design and human environment. Moreover, in contemporary
times a strong conceptual foundation for socio-humanistic training must consider the
Theory of Sustainable Human Development, understood as the relationship between
nature, man as a social being and Architecture as part of society and culture: an
integrated and interactive system.
The conceptualization of the project activity should be strengthened, to give
structure to the learning process based on the student role, cultural training as a way
to increase the quality of architecture and urbanism. It is necessary to adopt a form of
integrative thinking that combines the protection of socio-humanism, environment,
economics and business, plus the heritage conservation. It should promote
motivation for the profession and ethics in performance; promote excellence in
teaching, include customer’s requirements and participation of the population,
increase the knowledge of the fine arts as an influence on the quality of design,
distribute environmental education content and the legal instrumentation of the
profession.
Finally, the design process requires discipline and a particular methodology; the scope
of Industrial Design is not reduced to determine the outer shape of the objects. More and
more, the creative ability and methodology of designers can be used to solve problems
of various kinds. It is important to integrate “Design Thinking” methods to design new
products and services, and to explore new trends, new markets and innovative growth
strategies proposals.
Plan de Desarrollo Institucional 2014-2030 | cuaad

Plan de Desarrollo Institucional 2014-2030 | cuaad

Universal design is a relatively new paradigm that directs its activities to the
development of products and environments accessible to as many people as possible,
without the need to adapt or redesign them in a special way.
What really matters in design pro-
ducts is not only the final idea, but
a l s o the result of the research process.
This factor gives its real value to the
object to be designed.
The interest in making the most of
local materials and artisanship becomes
evident. It seeks to recover techniques,
materials and even manufacturing
sites. This favors the idea that the
Mexican design has a distinctive identity,
while remaining contemporary and
global.
It is intended that the objects have more than one use; to achieve this, the
possibilities of shape are explored. Chairs that are also booksellers; pots that can be
used as fruit bowls, and lamps that work as tables are some examples of it. The new
offices are exploring innovative and independent ways to sell their products. Online
commerce is nowadays one of the most used options, but this trend also explains the
recent interest in “collective” bazaars, where buyers can meet face to face with the
creators of those brands they find through social media and specialized publications.
In recent years, collaboration has turned into one of the most used working schemes
for design in Mexico. The search of local and easy to get feedstock has led to the use of
raw materials. Furthermore, these resources are used naturally, without exaggeration in
the finish. Stone without sanding, unglazed wood and raw ceramic are some
examples.
The design approach to museums and galleries is another phenomenon that we have
seen in recent years. The pieces are exhibited in institutions or in separate spaces, which
take on a much more artistic character that when seeing the same object in a store.

Plan de Desarrollo Institucional 2014-2030 | cuaad

Environmental concern remains as one


of the major issues at all levels due to a
strong presumption that the problem will
worsen in the coming years. It is no longer
just about designing more efficient what
we already have (reduce, reuse and re-
cycle) but to raise a paradigm shift in how
we’re doing things, which requires a new
mindset. We are being invited to rethink
production methods and reinvent social
practices so that they are sustainable. It
is not enough to consume less, to do the
least damage; it is about doing things
differently.

2. Background of the University Center of Art, Architecture and Design

The U n i v e r s i ty Center of Art, Architecture and Design (CUAAD) is a dependency


of thematic higher education at the Universidad de Guadalajara (University of
Guadalajara). The Center’s main goal is
to bring education to a professional
level in the arts, architecture, design
and urban planning. CUAAD has three
campuses: two in Guadalajara
downtown (San Agustín and Santa
Maria de Gracia), and the third at the
north end of town (Huentitán).
Currently, our university community
consists of 6,347 undergraduate and 269
graduate students, divided into 10
Major Educational Programs: Music
(MUS), Performing Arts (ARE), Visual
Arts (ARV), Audiovisual Arts (ARA),
Design for Graphic Communication
(DCG), Interior De- sign and Ambience
(DIA), Industrial De- sign (DIN),
architecture (ARQ), Fashion Design
(DIMO) and Planning and Environment
(AMU); and 11 graduate educational
programs, nine master programs and two doctoral programs: Architectural Sciences
(ICA), Film Studies (MICI), Design and New Product Development (MIDD);
Management and Cultural Development (MIGD); Planning and Development (MUD);
Processes and Graphic Expression in Architectural Design Urban (MPAG); Education Arts
and Expression (MEEA); Ergonomics (MER) Ethnomusicology (METH); Doctorate City,
Territory and Sustainability (DUCT) and an inter-institutional PhD in Art and Culture
(DIAC). In addition, 588 professors and researchers impart daily their knowledge to
students.
In recent years, CUAAD has accomplished very important progress in different areas,
for instance: now we have three new research offices and our students got an
outstanding integration to research activities that have grown nearly 14 times as much.
Also, the production of external publications increased by 51 percent. It is noteworthy
that five of our graduate programs belong to the PROGRAMA NACIONAL DE
POSGRADOS
15
DE CALIDAD (PNPC -programs recognized as high quality-) and besides, now we have 18
Academic Groups (CA-CUERPOS ACADÉMICOS) recognized by the federal administration
in three different levels: (4 consolidated, 4 in consolidation process and 10 in formation).

CUAAD, concerned about the rate of applicants wishing to enter our Center, is
making an effort to expand enrollment by 4 percent, providing 90 percent of its
educational pro- grams with a high level of quality. A 7 percent increase in
bibliographic acquisition, as well as a growth in the demand for our academic staff is
also a fact: a rise of 51 percent increase in PTC PROMEP PROFILE has been shown, and
two new researchers got to the SNI level. Also a notably, graduation rates increased by
30 percent.

We have opened 50 percent more laboratories equipped for the development of


education and investigation, and have increased the number of agreements with companies
and organizations for the sake of students’ improvement. Moreover, we have also made
close bonds and agreements with different universities in order to exchange knowledge.
In the area of student enrollment, we have gained a significant 71% growth in the number
of external students through educational exchange programs. There was also a 24% increase
in the number of students who graduated. We keep motivating teachers to increase their
student enrollment in their own areas.

17
Plan de Desarrollo Institucional 2014-2030 | cuaad

CUAAD has an extensive list of


specialized faculty members who are
professionally active. This contributes to a
better student performance to a national
and international level. We keep a social
commitment with the community,
prominence and social recognition, offering
opportunities of a broader educational area
within spaces dedicated to culture, fostering
more student and teacher mobility, and the
possibility of social impact with new
educational programs.

It’s alsoProblems,
worth notingChallenges
that we need and Opportunities
to increase the number of artistic creators well-
known by the National System of Art Creators (SNCA), and the number of professors
who yearly attend the calling of the National System of Investigators (SNI). The
Virtual Library Network gives the investigators the opportunity to have
access to other libraries worldwide, get updated information, enrich
their investigation and publish it in other countries.
CUAAD h a s h u m a n r e s o u r c e s ,
knowledge and expertise to
create and consolidate relevant
agreements depending on their
m a j o r s , post-graduate programs and
extension programs. Cultural and
investigation projects are
developed which are linked with
society and industry to regional,
national and international levels.
It is essential to the university to
spread and implement -in the syllabus
academic planning- the knowledge and
comprehension of the “Triple Helix”
model in their community.
We have an extensive educational offering linked to art and culture. Nevertheless,
the dissemination of these activities and accomplishments of the university community
in this area is not enough.
Being leaders in the international agreements help our graduates be successfully
and permanently integrated to work force. CUAAD recognizes that both teachers and
students show little participation and limited use of the international scholarship
programs, low or lack of proficiency of a second language and the lack of a Budget aimed
to their permanent mobility.
The CUAAD Development Plan 2014-2030 intends to establish the guidelines of
the Center to increase, in the medium term the strengths which identify
ourselves, and to achieve international recognition of our students for their
competitiveness in the professional area.

Plan de Desarrollo Institucional 2014-2030 | cuaad

The Center of Arts, Architecture and Design is a dependency of the University of Gua-
dalajara engaged to form professionals with a high level of education committed to the
disciplines of art, architecture and design. Its students involve with their social
surroundings and environment in a sustainable framework. They are able to influence
through social and scientific research applied in a social, artistic and cultural field. Our
community generates and applies knowledge with ethics, equity and respect for all
members of our society.

21
4. Mission
The Center of Art, Architecture and Design is the best educational option in its areas of
competence on the basis of the creative processes and scientific and technological re-
search. It counts with a consolidated international academic leadership on the quality of
its educational programs, its social commitment and involvement with the productive,
cultural and economic sectors. Its graduates satisfactorily meet the social,
environmental, productive and cultural demands.

23
5. Vision
The Center of Arts, Architecture and Design, as well as the University of Guadalajara
PDI is ruled by six strategic guidelines articulated by the same number or themes that
run the University of Guadalajara:

• A university that promotes and strengthens educational innovation.


• An inclusive, equitable and driver of social mobility university.
• A socially committed university community, its transcendence and social recognition.
• A university that fosters a culture of transparency and accountability.
• A university with a global vision and local commitment, positioning and international
management.
• A university that promotes a culture of entrepreneurship among the academic
community.

6. Strategic Guidelines
Plan de Desarrollo Institucional 2014-2030 | cuaad

Teaching and learning

The Center of Arts, Architecture and De-


sign generates and transmits knowledge
in the disciplines of art, architecture and
design through a student-centered
educational model that stimulates the
development of their skills.
The university faces now an
international challenge in training
highly qualified students through on-
site education and distance learning,
capable of meeting labor needs.
It is essential for the university to
strengthen a shift from a teacher-based
learning paradigm to a student-centered model to achieve multiple competencies; to
privilege technological innovation and a keep the faculty constantly updated.
Compliance with the Commitments of the Centre with society, culture and regional
development is critical to the relevant professional training in art, architecture and de-
sign. In addition, coordination and participation of national and international
organizations is required.

Research and postgraduate studies

The Center of Arts, Architecture and Design is responsible for developing research
that solves problems generated within society, and for staying ahead in a globalized
world to collaborate with entities engaged in research, a t both national and
international levels.
Currently research related to art,
architecture and design is conducted in
many places of the world, aiming to
apply knowledge related to art,
architecture and design. It is here
where opportunities for collaborative
networking are found, in order to
promote the exchange of experiences
among researchers, teachers and
students.
Preserving the acknowledgement that the Center of Art, Architecture and Design of
the University of Guadalajara has currently at an international, national and local level,
is essential in order to transcend borders. Contributing to the state of the art and
knowledge generation, developing research and strengthening student and faculty
mobility, are actions that must be present to increase research and graduate studies of
our Center.
The creation of quality graduate programs, relevant to society, that are highly
applicable to solve problems locally, nationally and internationally in different fields,
promotes the competitiveness that their graduates aim to, creating a critical and
proactive mass for the welfare of society.
It is essential to promote research and development of graduate programs, to create
links that integrate researchers, undergraduate, graduate students, that through joint
activities, they promote early research strengthening projects and consolidating
curricula, creating a virtuous circle for solving social problems.

Entailment

The Center of Art, Architecture and Design links with society and the different factors or
elements that comprise it, have a highly significant value for the achievement of quality
indicators and relevance.
This requires that our institution poses the scenarios that challenge the best
performance of its activities. From an international perspective, there is no
methodology that allows the university and its various agencies, to work together
with other institutions worldwide in order to perform binding actions. In this context,
a significant interest in guiding most projects where market criteria is also perceived,
leaving aside the aspects that de- fine the social commitment of universities as agents
of change.
Nationally, universities do not develop a framework of partnership and cooperation
that allows them to assess the relevance of its substantive actions, including their
academic programs. There is no shared dimension of analysis through which each
university serving strategies are developed. In this context, a working model that allows
the collection of resources and support at national or state level to develop projects is
absent.
Currently there is no working model at the level for the University of Guadalajara Net-
work that favors the linking of all units, there are no diagnoses on the conditions and
the current impact of its majors, additionally there is no general linking project
oriented to strengthen the strategic aspects of the state and region.

Transparency of the Center.

Extension and dissemination

In CUAAD the extension functions promote science, culture and sport as an integral part
of the community. On the other hand, the Center dissemination function reports on the
different artistic, scientific and humanistic activities through various media and social
net- works that convey local, national and international recognition to the University
Centre. At the international level, developed countries have strategies diffusion and
dissemination programs and projects, which are duly established. In Latin America,
some countries are making an effort to follow European models; such are the cases of
Chile, Brazil,
Argentina and Costa Rica.
Universities in the center of the country have more resources since they are managed
through duly established programs, while the rest of the public universities do not have
these policies. Hence, financial resources are limited.
In west central Mexico, the University of Guadalajara is a pacesetter despite not
having a policy in accordance with the needs of these areas.

Internationalization

Internationalization is one of the most important efforts in all higher education


institutions around the world. In CUAAD is a must to collaborate in the international
framework in all disciplines, through students, faculty and alumni that transcend their
artistic, cultural and scientific activities.
CUAAD’s activities and educational programs have a great potential for
internationalization, they seek to update their curricula so that graduates are within a
competency profile and have greater presence and recognition worldwide through
constant innovation and learning process management. It is essential to increase
international agreements and the participation in mobility program networks. The
center develops a major effort to establish links with institutions in other countries.
However, these efforts are not rewarded in an equal proportion.
It is necessary to establish equivalence in CUAAD’s curricula to ease mobility of
students and teachers; likewise, improve the English-speaking abilities of students and
faculty, so they can expatiate in labor, social and cultural contexts.

Management and governance


Many universities around the world base
their management practices and
government on the modernity and
efficiency of their processes. At the
present, institutions require innovative
and administrative decentralization,
which influence the optimal operation
of the institution. This, for the benefit
of academic quality, reputation and
positioning the University in an
international context.
In Jalisco, the university network was
an innovative process that twenty years
ago allowed the expansion of the
academic offer in all regions of the state,
benefiting various sectors of the population. However, many management processes
and governance of institutional dynamics have become bureaucratic and have been
overwhelmed by circumstances these days.
Our institution must be characterized for having more effective and dynamic
management and governance processes, supported by new technologies that enable
management to optimize processes and decision making.
The achievement of academic goals of the institution must be built and characterized
by flexible, simple, and financially sustainable schemes.
The challenges reflected in the Institutional Development Plan 2014-2030 are:

• Governance
• Financial sustainability.
• Planning and Institutional prospectively.
• Flexibility and quality of the organization and management of university governance.

Access to equity and coverage quality education that guarantees human rights and
environmental sustainability are key aspects that should mark CUAAD’s future.

In order to fullfill the CUAAD Development Plan, each strategic guideline must be
evaluated semestrally through assigned technical commitees, which will follow
up goals and indicators and propose the necessary adjustments so as to
facilitate monitoring of established goals.

Methodology of Construction of the CUAAD Development Plan

The University of Guadalajara presented in May 2014 its new Institutional


Development Plan, Document which guides our activities and substantive functions,
and where the university’s mission and vision were redefined to meet goals of 2030,
with consistency with the National and State Development Plans.
The results of the workshop, besides the diagnosis of strengths, opportunities,
weaknesses and threats (FODA), t h r o u g h i n d i c a t o r s o f p e r f o r m a n c e a n d
impact, served as a standard to elaborate the CUAAD
Development Plan, restructured in content and conceptual
organization according the new strategic and transversal
guidelines and institutional policies and objectives.
The drafting committee called to meetings to analyze necessary adjustments in the
document. Afterwards, the CUAAD Development Plan was submitted to study and
approval by the Central Council, which through an assigned commission, suggested
changes in the areas of mission, vision and objectives.
This document, which comprises the result of all the process herein, will serve as a
guideline to lead CUAAD’s operational and substantive activities as a social
commitment, forcing itself to maintain its quality as a Public Organism and Educational
Institution.
