This reflection is about the design roll as a tool
for meet challenges related to the convivence with
the environment and the humanity. The purpose is
scrutinizing aspects that would be keys in order to
promote the education of future designers generation
prepared for this challenge. With this purpose, is
necessary to establish contemporary comprehensions
in relation with science, technology, technique and
design, this time, from a nuanced perspective, which
could house the new complexity involved in these
concepts in relations with nature, with production,
with the culture of use and consume, nowadays
seen from a intercultural perspective. Later, the
article, in the educational context try to make some
relationships between the intercultural perspective and
design students, due to they have a responsibility for
countersignature or change the use and consumption
patterns, as well as their involvement in the production;
and derived from them, their action´s impact on nature.
