| Summary: | The concept of inclusive design has irrupted in the local discourse developed within the Chilean cultural context. It has gained presence in the field of education, the development of public policies and other more hierarchic legislative regulations. Regarding of architecture, a relative evolution on this matter has been observed in the incorporation of the Universal Accessibility Ordinance. However, it is yet unknown how inclusive design has been part of the discipline’s discourse and has therefore guided its practice in terms of design and construction. Hence, our research seeks to untangle the driving principles of the local architecture discourse and describe if there is compatibility with a canon of inclusive design, developed within the period between 1960 and 2016. Accordingly, our main source of data comes from the analysis of selected architecture journals and interviews to understand the concept’s state-of-the-art development. The results show a general absence of this concept in the local architecture discourse. However, we offer a series of reflections and criteria to overcome this situation, mainly regarding the need to develop a new epistemological stance in architecture that requires interdisciplinary approach. |
