TRANSVERSALITY AS A MEANS
We are currently witnessing important processes of social transformation that occur, among other circumstances, due to the accelerated expansion of digitization and technological innovations, which opens the possibility of knowing more about the world in almost real time and from multiple disciplinary approaches.
However, the conditions that characterize postmodernity often decouple the theoretical, the technical, and the specialized knowledge of the disciplines of architecture and engineering, from the awareness that makes it possible to apply values to solve problems of seriousness and importance for the future of our societies, such as climate change, violence, inequality due to gender conditions, ethnicity, disability , identity for access to healthcare understood from the integral well-being and not because of the disease.
Transversal thinking entails two actions: that of “crossing” and that of “linking”; In other words, from “deconstructing” to “building”.
It is a paradigm shift based on critical thinking, the product of the interaction of different axes around a goal: in this case, the creation of health infrastructure in line with everyday realities that provide answers to needs and the current problems of humanity that are not yet included in the disciplinary areas.
The application of transversal axes in health infrastructure has been permeating little by little for some time and while for some societies it is considered a novel paradigm shift in thought, others have been advancing in this production and application of ideas with novel results.
“Transversality is a path that allows the different parties to be aware and think beyond the disciplinary approaches to create environments to enhance health and wellness of people, society and their atmosphere.”
