Abstract
Space design solutions are proposed for the lobby-reception areas and hospital admission room type of the General Freyre de Andrade Clinical Surgical Teaching Hospital, also known as the Emergency Hospital; Located in the municipality of Centro Habana, the proposal is adapted to the norms and technical requirements of hospital spaces, also taking into account respect for the patrimonial character of the building and the non-modification of its structural elements. Meanwhile, a solution is proposed that offers the population spaces dedicated to public health that are modernized and appropriate to the contextual environmental conditions of their location.

Abstract
This research focuses on the Visual Communication Design of business management software (SGE), a product that allows handling data and information related to the management, planning and administration of vital resources for entities. In response, a Quality Assessment Model of the DCV of the SGE is proposed, which contains a procedure for its application in the product life cycle, which emphasizes its review within the producing organization and complements the Design discipline to the actions. quality assessments in software engineering.
PhD thesis: Product design evaluation model as an instrument of environmental management.
Arianet Valdivia
Abstract
This research presents a product design evaluation model as an environmental management instrument with general procedure which integrates approaches, conceptions and theoretical models related to environmental evaluation, design and management. Proposal that is based on the theoretical concepts and design process methodology of the Higher Institute of Design of the University of Havana. Furthermore, the theoretical and practical verification of the model allowed promoting environmental integration in the National Design Quality Evaluation System, and its improvement. Main contributions are showed in a systemic and elective conception of the model, with its procedure. Results contribute to the environmental problem visualization from design to teaching and project methodology improvement, and to transition from environmental efficiency to environmental quality within the framework of the National Environmental Strategy.
