Abstract
People are more demanding about the opportunities offered by the globalized market. There is a wide variety of products and services that border exclusivity and that, due to the advancement of technology, are now within the reach of many. To meet this voracious audience, a new profile of professionals with differentiated backgrounds is emerging. The purpose of this theoric chapter is to bring transdisciplinarity as a scientific and cultural approach presented as an alternative and as a methodological and epistemological suggestion for transdisciplinary practice in the daily life of the designer. We emphasize that the solution of the itinerant chair, transdisciplinary coaching or the consolidation of a transdisciplinary design curriculum for technical, ethically responsible and environmentally conscious high standards are valid alternatives to the designer’s educational model. In order to incorporate the transdisciplinary nexus into the daily routine of design, one needs attitude, research and transdisciplinary actions in a continuous way.
