- Cerâmica Bisarro: a tradição da Soenga e a proposta de um produto eco inovadorPublication . Fernandes, Marta; Frade, José Manuel Couceiro Barosa CorreiaCom este artigo pretende-se dar a conhecer a cerâmica tradicional do Norte de Portugal, o barro preto, que é acompanhado pela técnica ancestral de cozedura denominada Soenga que torna este processo muito mais sustentável do que o processo cerâmico que estamos habituados a conhecer. Assim sendo apresenta-se neste artigo a empresa Bisarro, que mantém as técnicas de cozedura ancestrais utilizando-as para modernizar, reinventar e redesenhar peças de cerâmica utilitária aplicando-as ao mercado cerâmico atual, mantendo a consciência e questões sustentáveis muito bem resolvidas. Com a pesquisa obtida propõe-se o desenvolvimento de um projeto integrado nesta empresa e nos seus princípios, de modo a aumentar a sua diversificação de produto reforçando o caráter tecnológico dos seus produtos.
- Cohort Study Good Practices: Design Communication and Capacitation ProcessesPublication . Ferreira, Elga; Penedos-Santiago, Eliana; Netto-Rocha, Constança; Faria-Marques, Daniela; Santos, Estêvão Soares; Dias, Sara SimõesIn the county of Leiria, Portugal, part of the population is known to have morbidity diagnoses (metabolic illnesses and more) and poor health habits on a big enough scale to bring the idea of how low health literacy can affect people’s lives and health services, such as a flood of the emergency systems caused by people attending the emergency room with minor issues. To address it, institutions in Leiria such as the City Hall, ACES Pinhal Litoral (Regional Primary Care Unit Headquarters) and Polytechnic of Leiria decided to conduct a longitudinal and prospective cohort study, where a sample of the population will be followed throughout time to understand if their choices regarding health and sustainable habits are indeed affected by their health literacy levels. This project will contribute to the initial stage of this cohort study, by developing a recognizable brand, whose identity can be maintained throughout all its communication and dissemination media, so that the population can identify, without equivocation, the cohort study to which it refers, and awaken their curiosity to participate. This stage also includes the presentation and dissemination of the cohort study itself to the population under study, followed by a randomized inquiry done by pre-selected interviewers. This project relies on Service Design and Participatory Design methodologies to streamline the development of the study’s elements and to solve common cohort issues, such as: 1) gathering a suitable number of participants that can represent the population; 2) follow-up maintenance of participants; 3) keeping the interviewers and participants engaged with the study, after the first contact. Informal interviews and user group definition will help the comprehension of the study and allow to create personas to characterize the interviewers of the cohort study. These aforementioned methodologies will be supported by the workshop methodology under Participatory Design, acting as a testing ground for the previously developed processes, preparing interviewers to adapt their communication when facing people from different generations, education, and social backgrounds. By carrying out this project simultaneously with the cohort study, it’s possible to evaluate, over time, how the design methodologies can empower and facilitate communication and intervene, changing tactics in case it’s needed. The creation of a replicable experience is proposed allowing the betterment of the overall health of the population. Additionally, assuming the lack of information on how the preparatory phases of cohort studies are designed, it’s also envisaged the creation of guidelines and a good practice manual. It is also of great importance to point out the bridge established between the health and design fields, where design becomes the interface between science and the public.
- Depression to expression: color as visual language to communicate complex emotionsPublication . Puja, Kumar; Lobo, CarlaThis aim of this study is to explore the potency of graphic design as an opportunity to communicate complex emotions and depression using color as a design strategy. The distinctive color identity is formulated by adopting a three-step methodological approach. Firstly, an online survey was conducted focused on understanding individual’s color preferences and color-emotion associations. The survey analysis helped to derive the color identity for six basic emotions. Secondly, mind-mapping of symptoms of each depression type was done to branch out the basic emotions involved and thus, derive its first color-emotion derivative. Next, the value-saturation scale was redefined wherein value represented the intensity of emotion and saturation represented the severity of depression. Lastly, the color symbolism of that particular emotion in Indian culture was cross-referenced and thus, giving the second derivatives. This combination of first and second derivatives give the resultant unique color identities for eleven types of depression solely based on the emotional dimension of color. It was aimed to further explore the innumerable possibilities that can be achieved by experimenting with variation of color attributes. Hence, the research work proposed a methodology, which is in the initial development phase, to define the complex emotional experiences of depression through visual communication.
- Designing for a Multispecies House-hold Development of Pet ́s HabitatsPublication . Venâncio, Clara; Pessanha, LuísThis article makes a brief presentation of the development process of two prototypes that foster the environmental enrichment of two species of companion animals: guinea pigs and cats. The prototypes Domus Petra and Locus Turi were the results of a research project carried out within the scope of a master's thesis in product design. The main goal of the project is to research how product design can promote animal welfare, health and, also, human wellbeing. There were identified cats and guinea pigs’ main characteristics and needs, as well as the problems of the spaces they inhabit when integrated into multispecies households. The animal’s artificial habitats were re-evaluated and redesigned to encourage the practice of normal species behaviours. The focus lays on the relationship dynamics between humans and companion animals: their practices of care; feeding; maintenance of animals and their products; ways of living together; and human-animal-objects interactions. The Domus Petra and Locus Turi prototypes seem to be usable by animals and humans, however, future improvements and developments should be considered. There is a need to explore other approaches to non-anthropocentric design practices, and other paths to include animal perspectives in product development.
- Exploração de novas texturas em produtos cerâmicos a partir de experiências com materiais orgânicosPublication . Godinho, Ana Rute Saraiva; Kersanach, Bianca Bolina; Almeida, João Vitor Rodrigues de Castro; Frade, JoséFoi experimentada a utilização de materiais orgânicos mergulhados em barbotinas de faiança e de barro vermelho no processo de criação de novas estruturas e texturas de produtos cerâmicos. O projeto dividiu-se em duas partes, começando pela investigação e análise de materiais orgânicos, escolhidos de acordo com as suas características organolépticas, com o propósito de introduzir novas texturas em peças cerâmicas. Obteu-se uma lista e selecionou-se um conjunto de materiais orgânicos que mais se adequam ao projeto, realizando estudos preliminares em pequenas amostras cerâmicas no sentido de percebermos o potencial de cada um dos materiais orgânicos selecionados na alteração de estruturas e texturas cerâmicas. A segunda parte deste trabalho relaciona-se com a aplicação dos melhores resultados obtidos nos estudos preliminares sobre três novos projetos de produtos cerâmicos.
- GESTO E PODER: REEL/UNREEL, DE FRANCIS ALŸSPublication . Ferreira, CéliaTomamos como objeto a obra do artista Francis Alÿs, em especial o vídeo Reel/ Unreel (Cabul, Afeganistão, 2011, 19:32min.), para ensaiar uma reflexão sobre gestos quotidianos, inscrição e biopoder. Em Reel/Unreel um grupo de crianças brinca guiando bobinas de filme por um percurso acidentado, entre as ruas de Cabul. Édocumental/ficcional o gesto com que o artista regista/imagina – em que conduz e é conduzido pelas brincadeiras das crianças – a cidade e o cinema. O jogo infantil envolvendo, ou não, um grupo, aparece em estreita relação com gestos ancestrais: esconder, arrastar, puxar, correr, esquivar-se, imobilizar. Esses gestos executados em circunstâncias variadas, são repetidos em diferentes trabalhos de Francis Alÿs e sugerem modos de inscrição no quotidiano, afirmando a sua presença numa linha, num som, num rumor. Na obra de Alÿs concretiza-se um arquivo de gestos banais em relação com poderes que perpassam cidades como Cabul, Londres ou a Cidade do México. O gesto do artista, ou das crianças, ou dos cidadãos implicados na obra, retornam na sua simplicidade em espaços e tempos que os ressignificam e possuem uma dimensão estética que interessa compreender na sua articulação ética e (bio)política.
- Health and Design at Service of a Refugee Camp in IraqPublication . Camacho, Lea; Penedos-Santiago, Eliana; Ferreira, Elga; Ferreira, ElgaThis project emerges from the need to counteract a scenario of risk and unpredictability in the care provided to patients in illness situations, which stems from a poor or non-existent health record system (HRS). The direct contact in the year of 2017 with an emergency medical Non-Governmental Organization (NGO), working in context of humanitarian crises, demonstrated the precarious and yet scarce presence of such a system. The lack of practicality, easy understanding and access to other health partners proved to compromise the quality of care. Since a functional HRS (via paper or electronic means) is a core component for the management, delivery, and safety of quality in healthcare, the identification of a simple and yet effective system, capable of maintaining a history of care provided, is imperative. This need increases exponentially when the focus is on a humanitarian crisis context, in which populations have been forced into displacement and the health system is disrupted, of which the Internal Displaced Persons in Iraq are an example (commonly referred as refugees). The constraint of resources and the clash of different cultures and experiences between professionals, can hinder or even compromise the provision and quality of care, as well as the experience and perception of patients themselves regarding the services provided. With this study I propose the mapping of a HRS within an emergency medical field hospital, in a refugee camp in Iraq, to ensure the quality of emergency management and delivery of care, in a scenario of instability and political uncertainty. This system, which functions as a systematically collected database, presents specific health characteristics of a given patient when receiving differentiated care essential to guarantee high standards of care. A service design methodology to test the hypothesis will be used through a service blueprint development, capable of mapping the activities, processes and systems involved in a patient’s health experience. Design research methods such as service safari and user shadowing with informal ethnographic interviews will be implemented, as well as workshops with national and international health professionals involved with NGO work. Thus, it is expected to re-design a robust monitoring and patient track, with faster access of the patient’s history to health professionals, a better prevention of medication errors and duplication, and a greater transparency in the management and delivery of care. The easy implementation of the system will also allow an easier communication of patient’s needs and care, between different health stakeholders.
- The Households’ resilience: domestic space and remote work among a pandemic emergencyPublication . Jorge, Pedro Fonseca; Gonçalves, SérgioThis article aims to identify domestic space’s contemporary requirements, recognizing the processes in which, due to changes in the way we live, or unforeseen circumstances, the need to redistribute or redivide our liveable spaces arises. More demanding in terms of spatial separation, domestic space is influenced by behavioural because the household itself evolves and/or because emergencies induce new uses in spaces once designed for something else. The current pandemic situation has exposed the inefficiency of some of the current (and past) architectural trends. Domestic space is considered a group of areas with a single use in mind or with idealized uses never put into practice by its inhabitants. Flexibility is, therefore, a requirement, where the collected demands and constraints could be the starting point for research focused on new housing types and new construction methods, harbouring the needed elasticity to accommodate different living patterns under unforeseen circumstances.
- Inovação e criatividade na construção de aprendizagens colaborativas em ambientes virtuaisPublication . Pinto, Raquel B.; Oliveira, LiaA segunda década do século XXI conheceu, com a pandemia da COVID-19, desafios colocados ao nível de todas as esferas da sociedade. Saúde, economia, cultura, educação e todos os outros setores viram necessidade de se reconfigurar. A inovação, a criatividade e a tecnologia conheceram, neste tempo de incerteza, um lugar de particular destaque. Com a liberdade de mobilidade colocada em causa, a humanidade viu necessidade de transformar os espaços, até então privados, em espaços de domínio público, através do recurso a plataformas de comunicação suportadas pela Internet. Assim, vimos os quartos, as salas e as cozinhas transformados em extensões, de escritórios, de salas de aula, de salas de reunião, de consultórios. A uma inicial estranheza sucedeu-se a adaptação. Uma adaptação, que conheceu tempos e ritmos distintos, mediante a existência ou a ausência de soluções tecnológicas ajustadas à realidade que viria a instituir-se, por alguns meses. É, precisamente, neste contexto de adaptação e transformação que desenvolvemos o nosso trabalho de análise e reflexão. No desenvolvimento do trabalho serão apresentadas as metodologias de Design, tais como, a abordagem ao desenvolvimento de projetos, através da exploração de conceitos, exercícios de brainstorming, ferramentas de trabalho colaborativo online e o recurso a formatos do tipo podcast. Com esta prática visamos desconstruir as tradicionais metodologias de ensino e aprendizagem, dando lugar a novas abordagens e experiências transformadoras, através da aplicação dos conhecimentos tecnológicos, visão multidisciplinar e adaptação das ideias criativas dos estudantes, em ambientes virtuais.
- Mountable and Demountable Construction Systems of Interior Building Partitions: Ecology and Sustainability in the Ephemeral Use of SpacePublication . Jorge, Pedro Fonseca ; Gonçalves, SérgioThis article presents the ongoing research on sustainable construction systems, in terms of interior partitions, as alternatives to masonry or plasterboard techniques. Emphasis was given on assembly’s simplicity, to guarantee an easy execution by anyone without specific preparation or knowledge in construction (so the com-mon dweller can respond quickly and effectively to the changing behaviour and needs of the household), but also to emergencies resulting from unforeseen cir-cumstances, such as the current pandemic situation. The research was grounded on the use of materials with a reduced ecological footprint (based on Portuguese forest resources), and on modular construction processes (adaptable to most pre-existing situations). Additionally, such materi-als should allow a successive assembly and disassembly, using the same con-struction elements, a feature in which we can truly defend a decreased environ-mental impact. The purpose is to minimize waste and to create a circular eco-nomic circuit that continues after its components’ lifespan, whose materials allow them to be recycled for other uses. Methodologically, the existing partition systems, in terms of patenting but also market availability, were surveyed and analysed. Simultaneously, the conse-quences of the household’s behavioural changes in the domestic space, as well as those imposed by lockdown and remote work, were studied for our proposals to respond to the assessed needs more effectively, in terms of privacy, and ther-mal and noise isolation. The collected information was used to create several proposals for interior parti-tions, exploring different construction and assembly processes, with variable de-grees of complexity (later prototyped to measure its viability), to reply to the dweller’s different requirements in response to everyday life or exceptional cir-cumstances.
