- 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.
- Co-designing a Care Plan Guide App to Support Early Conversations About End-of-Life Care in DementiaPublication . Neves, S.; Macdonald, A.; McLellan, E.; Poole, M.; Harrison-Dening, K.; Tucker, S.; Bamford, C.; Robinson, L.Talking about death and end-of-life care (EoLC) can be a sensitive topic for people affected by dementia and their families. However, recent research [1] has identified the need for people living with dementia (PLwD) to start planning timely discussions about their future care to help their family and professional carers to confidently make decisions on their behalf when they are no longer able to do so themselves [2]. This paper describes a five-stage iterative co-design approach aimed at understanding the type and nature of these sensitive discussions and developing a resource to support PLwD, their families and carers. The resource took the form of a Care Plan Guide app, as a tool to help initiate early discussions about anticipatory care planning [3] in dementia for PLwD to ensure good personalized care and that important wishes were honoured. The paper highlights the importance of the involvement and active collaboration of families living with the illness. It discusses lessons learned, reflections and recommendations for approaching co-designing healthcare digital resources for sensitive EoLC issues that may have wider applications than for PLwD.
- 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.
- Desenho de decalque - translação, interpretação e heurísticaPublication . Santos, João DosDrawing by tracing is composed of the duration of the drawer’s action of tracing on a tracing paper (almost transparent or translucent), positioned over the image (of the object) to be traced. In this text, I attempt to reflect upon the available means for the elaboration of drawing strategies leading to the making of a tracing drawing. These strategies are based on the drawer’s choices, which in turn depend on their abilities as drawer and observer. I propose the tracing drawing as a type of translation and interpretation, which, through heuristics, is revealed as ancillary to other drawings. I also propose the attentional tracing drawing as a contribution to the development of learning drawing strategies,, by contributing to the awareness of the act of drawing by the drawer.
- Design as Translation: what does it mean to have an healthy life?Publication . Bispo, RenatoIn modern societies, this question tends to be answered by maintaining the body young and fit, usually thru a low-fat diet and physical activities like run or going to the gym. This way, behaviors related to training have become a materialisation of being healthy, giving body to the concept of “healthy living”. But should we consider this materialization as a definitive translation of the concept of being healthy? Ideas need to be materialized so they can be assimilated in life. Assuming this point of view, Design can be defined as a materialization process which translates concepts into objects and behaviors. Therefore, to design something should be understood as a process of embodying meaning in the language of objects. Complex concepts such as “healthy living” can be broken into several moments and are the result of subjective perception. Objects can serve as catalysts of the experiences that define this perception, creating interactions that can make people feel healthy and transforming the abstract idea of “healthy life” into a concrete perception. This presentation intends to discuss how the perception of having a healthy life should be designed in the future, trying to make clear that to design is not a neutral translation but an encoding process which can profoundly change the meaning of a concept according to the way it materializes it.
- Design contra o estigma: a importância do simbólicoPublication . Bispo, Renato; Branco, VascoA forma como os produtos desenhados para responder à incapacidade foram sendo desenvolvidos ao longo da história acompanhou, naturalmente, a evolução dos conceitos de deficiência e incapacidade. Se num primeiro momento, se centravam essencialmente na reabilitação do défice físico ou mental, ou pelo menos em facilitar a prestação de cuidados e um nível de mobilidade e autonomia condicente com as necessidades terapêuticas, progressivamente foram acompanhando as cada vez maiores expectativas de inclusão social, vendo-se obrigados a responder aos desafios que a vida em sociedade apresenta. A crescente globalização da legislação de acessibilidade é o principal resultado desta evolução, procurando garantir o acesso a meios sociais cada vez mais abrangentes. Contudo, é ainda pouco clara a importância que o Design Inclusivo pode ter na mudança de mentalidades que condicionam a aceitação das pessoas com incapacidade na sociedade. Este artigo apresenta os resultados de um inquérito realizado aos grupos dEficientes Indignados e à Associação Gulliver, realizado no âmbito de uma investigação mais abrangente que procura compreender como podem ser combatidos os sentimentos de vergonha, pena, solidão, repulsa ou baixa autoestima por vezes associados aos objetos desenvolvidos para responder à incapacidade. Pretende-se demonstrar que o estigma relativamente à incapacidade tem uma dimensão implícita subjacente, que permanece mesmo quando são removidas as barreiras físicas que impedem o acesso.
- Designing for diversity or designing for allPublication . Bispo, Renato; Branco, VascoThis paper is based on an ongoing reflective process on the notion of Universal Design (UD), and aims to discuss it`s specific application to product design. It forms part of PhD research being conducted at Aveiro University, Portugal, which examines the concept of UD and its potential use in industrial product development. Thus we hope to contribute towards a broader understanding of the existing rapport between mainstream industrial products research and development and human diversity, as far as physical, sensory and cognitive capacities are concerned. We present our approach to the concept of UD and the systematization of two other related concepts: Universal Use and Designing for Diversity.
- Designing out stigma : a new approach to designing for human diversityPublication . Bispo, Renato; Branco, VascoThis paper sets out to present and discuss the “Designing Out Stigma” research project which focused on understanding stigma associated with products and on the repercussions of their use on the building of self-image.
- Designing out stigma : the potential of contradictory symbolic imageryPublication . Bispo, Renato; Branco, VascoThis paper discusses a work-in-progress research project. Its goals are to understand how one can overcome the stigmatizing effect associated to the use of products especially designed for people with disabilities and compensate this phenomenon using contradictory symbolic imagery. The stigmatizing effect of this kind of object generates a double negative role for the people who use them: on the one hand, it becomes a visible, identifying sign that underlines social discrimination; on the other hand, it exacts upon the disabled person feelings of shame which can lead to further low self-esteem and self-exclusion. To ensure a degree of control over this signification process, we must develop solutions that respond not only the basic needs but also the disabled person expectations towards social integration and interaction. Therefore, we put forward a hypothesis of using contradictory symbols to manipulate the stigmatizing dimension of objects, by discussing a design project and an evaluation model that will allow us to assess its applicability in real life contexts.
