Chile's Escuela de Artes y Oficios, founded in 1849, is cited as a local design-education tradition predating the Bauhaus that Eurocentric design history tends to overlook.
Chile's Escuela de Artes y Oficios is named among the "vital histories" that lingering Eurocentric biases erase — a local design-education tradition "long predating the Bauhaus" that the book urges designers to recover as they build new, more equitable and locally attuned models.
