When design enters the archive, what we can read changes too
Beatriz Moreno Palacios’s research addresses the communicative effectiveness and social function of brands, as well as their evolution and adaptation to social context.

Beyond the object: the tension between aesthetics and function in design conservation
Advertising and design have a social function that goes beyond sales. They evolve and adapt to the social context. Beatriz Moreno Palacios' thesis highlights the communicative effectiveness and social function of brands. This perspective is crucial for conservation, as it implies that the value of a design piece is not static, but depends on its interaction with society. Museums must capture this dynamic to offer a complete understanding.
