Abstract

The profession of designer arose at the same time as the Industrial Revolution in the countries that led this cultural, scientific and technological process in the nineteenth century. The aesthetic and cultural stereotypes of these countries have permeated the scientific and technological content of design theory and pedagogy that has since been published and applied in all countries of the globe. Nowadays, globalization has forced us to revise these stereotypes in order to penetrate Third World markets. The optional subject "Culture of Colour" aims to correct this Eurocentric bias in the training of designers by introducing content on the meanings, connotations and symbologies of colour throughout the planet from Antiquity to pre-industrial times.
