After a long process that has involved the work of the whole office, our website is finally online. It is not just the result of designing and programming the interface; it is at its best, an analogy of what we are and of our projections as a design team.

During this year and in parallel to our work as designers, we have made great efforts to set up a number of elements of a more intangible nature. These are a series of definitions, processes, tools and environments that seek to create an ideal platform for our work. They form the conceptual and operational framework in which our role as designers is held.

Years of experience have led us to the accurate conclusion that these operational phenomena, which apparently occur outside de design process, ultimately define it.

Metadesign (meta is the greek root for ¨beyond¨) is an emerging conceptual framework aimed at defining and creating social, economic and technical infrastructures in which new forms of collaborative design can take place. In other words: Metadesign focuses on defining the conditions under which design processes take place, which ultimately means designing design.

This framework has been the original inspiration that has informed the changes that have taken place recently in our studio. Although it is only the beginning, we hope that both our team, and our clients and friends begin to see the results of the work we have done beyond design.

Thanks to all the team at Index 34: Gyla, Ivett, Liliana, Dorian and Jesus. And our gratitude to Diana and Emmanuel.
