The Basque Country is internationally famed for its cuisine and chefs. It is the geographical place of the world with more Michelin stars per square meter. This great reputation impacts positively on the entire gastronomic industry (restaurants and so on) and on the touristic image of the Basque Country and has been achieved due to the sustained efforts of an initial group of chefs, followed by others, that made and still make major efforts to collaborate and, at the same time, compete with each other (as a clear example of coopetition). The analysis of the relationship between these basque chefs and their environment, allows us to identify a cluster, which is currently in phase of maturity with a promising future and has yielded significant benefits to that industry in general, each of its members in particular and to the region as a whole especially in terms of innovation, notoriety and reputation. This paper is one of the main results of a cooperation agreement between the “Institute of Applied Economics to Business” (University of the Basque Country) and “Innobasque” (The Basque Agency for Innovation), in which the latter fixed the research objectives and the methodology. So the main methodology we used in order to develop this paper, in addition to the review of the relevant literature, was a qualitative one. We did seven indepth interviews to the chefs founders and patrons of Basque Culinary Center (the first University in Europe on Gourmet Studies).
El concepto de inclusividad ha irrumpido en el discurso cultural emergente a nivel nacional, presente en el ámbito educacional, de políticas públicas y legislación. En arquitectura, se reconoce una evolución de la materia en vista de la incorporación de la normativa de Accesibilidad Universal, pero se desconoce cómo se han gestado principios de inclusividad en la praxis de arquitectura en cuanto a discurso y subsiguientes acciones de diseño y construcción. Nuestra investigación busca reconocer los factores subyacentes que estructurarían un discurso compatible con el canon de inclusividad, dentro del marco histórico reciente, en un periodo acotado desde 1960 hasta 2016. Los principales medios de investigación para reconocer estructuras de discursos se concretan en el análisis de revistas de arquitectura y la realización de entrevistas a actores clave en la materia de inclusividad contemporánea. Los resultados de la investigación confirman una ausencia del concepto de inclusividad en el campo de la arquitectura y urbanismo como tal. Sin embargo, se discuten criterios y reflexiones que abogarían por una adaptación de tal concepto en la práctica de la disciplina. Esto ocurriría en una dimensión en la que el campo de arquitectura ya no es dependiente de su propia esfera de desarrollo intelectual, sino que se cruza hoy con una multitud de enfoques epistemológicos que generan los espacios para adecuar un discurso de inclusividad.
