Reflections about design and humanism in the contemporaneous world
distance, that persists until today, between the chipped stone and the computer,
as Aloísio Magalhães taught us.
Reflecting about the relations between design and humanism in the
contemporaneous world, considering the Brazilian specificities, is certainly important
for the strengthening of the GDP and of the economy of our countries, but more
important than the GDP, it is measuring a new indicator: the GDH – Gross Domestic
Happiness, what measures with exactitude the variation of the happiness of the
population. Due to a proposal of the small reign of Bhutan, this new parameter was
approved by the General Assembly of the United Nations, in July 2011, and it brings
us the possibility of approaching, in a more holistic way, the human development.
