| dc.description.abstract | This document details the Design process undertaken to support the communication of the “Living Surfaces” project, carried out during a scientific experiment conducted at CETEMARES. “Living Surfaces” is a shared project between CETEMARES - Marine Sciences R&D, Education, and Knowledge Dissemination Centre, and LiDA – Research Laboratory in Design and Arts, both research units from the Polytechnic of Leiria, and focuses on the preservation of the autochthonous species of sea urchin from the coast of Peniche, Portugal. The primary goal of the present study is to reflect on the role of Design in the dissemination of the “Living Surfaces” project, which aims to repopulate an area that is being destroyed due to the capture of sea urchins, whose numbers are a cause for concern. This research explores the collaboration between Design and Marine Biology, emphasizing the importance of interdisciplinary approaches in addressing complex contemporary issues, such as biodiversity loss. The project adopts an exploratory Design methodology centred on the concept of Ecological Well-being, prioritizing the health and sustainability of ecosystems over traditional human-centred approaches. By focusing on the species to be protected, rather than solely on human perspectives, this research aims for a deeper understanding of the ecological roles of sea urchins and seeks to foster empathy towards the species, through Design methods. This approach highlights the value of non-human life and considers the socio-economic implications of biodiversity loss and preservation. A crucial goal of this research is to understand Design’s role in the communication of scientific knowledge to a broader audience, making use of Design’s unique capacity to translate concepts, ideas, and experiences. This document details the first phase of a broader study that aims to raise public awareness and foster empathy towards the preservation of sea urchins and their habitats, thereby contributing to a discourse on Ecological Well-being and sustainable environmental practices mediated by Design. | pt_PT |
