Silvia Sasaoka, Marco Antonio dos Reis Pereira, Cyntia Santos Malaguti de Sousa — Wed, 29 May 2024 00:00:00 +0000

Environmental degradation and global social inequality require an education focused on transforming values and practices in today's world. Bamboo, both as a plant and a material, has mitigated the impacts of climate change.

Combined with design within a bamboo productive chain, it also enhances the possibility of a pedagogical dimension for design students and the participation of local communities. This study aims to examine how social design can collaborate in education for sustainability, involving the researcher’s participant observation and co-creation, which resulted in the Take Akari Bamboo Lantern Workshop, held at the Unesp Campus in Bauru/SP. Results show that social design combined with bamboo helps in motivating people to internalize and carry out new practices due to the collaborative and collective ways of working collectively based on which it was held, and is capable of transforming scenarios and changing beliefs and values.

THE ENVIRONMENTAL DIMENSION IN NEW PRODUCTS DESIGN – EDUCATIONAL TRAINING IN INDUSTRIAL DESIGN

Wed, 29 May 2024 00:00:00 +0000

Industrial design (product) was one of the most impacted professions by the changes imposed by the insertion of the environmental issue in the project. Initially contemplated in the so-called eco-design, industrial design activities underwent adjustments and improvements. These result in an expanded vision, contemplating the modern vision of sustainability, in its economic, social, and environmental dimensions. The teaching and academic applications of design in the research and extension spheres were consequently altered, demanding complementary visions throughout the process, including the PPCs of the courses and the qualification needs of the faculty. The article presents models of project processes and reflects on the need to insert sustainability issues in project teaching.

Wed, 29 May 2024 00:00:00 +0000

This paper presents the conceptual underpinnings organized by a group of designers and design researchers for the creation of the Ecotopias Socioenvironmental Design Laboratory at PUC-Rio University. It begins by discussing the anthropogenic crisis, which the planet is currently facing, and the consequent design crisis. It also presents the field of design for sustainability, its transversality and eco-logic possibilities. It situates the process of constructing scenarios in this field as a methodological option for opening the imaginative and anticipatory potential of art and design to confront the planetary environmental crises and regenerate ecologies of the mind, social relations, and the environment. It describes the methodological steps of the scenario-building process derived from the project Sustainable Everyday, and, finally, it distinguishes the concepts of utopia and ecotopia.

SUSTAINABLE CONSUMPTION BEHAVIOR - SLOW FASHION IN BRAZIL

Wed, 29 May 2024 00:00:00 +0000

The interest in social justice and sustainability issues in the fashion industry has grown exponentially in recent years, given the concern for the worldwide preservation of the natural goods that remain on the earth and the valorization of professionals in the production chain. Slow fashion emerges as a relevant movement in this context. It seeks to slow down the mass industrial production of the fashion area that is currently known by overriding the valuing of quality and people who work throughout the production chain to the detriment of quantity and exploitation of natural resources. This paper aims to verify whether the five dimensions of the Consumer Orientation to Slow Fashion (COSF) scale fit satisfactorily to Brazil and then draw profiles of slow fashion product consumption in this exact scenario. Thus, we planned and applied a virtual questionnaire using the COSF scale with 414 volunteers from Brazil. We treated the collected data by exploratory and confirmatory factor analysis, k-means, structural equation modeling, and analysis of variance. As a result, we observed that the COSF scale did not thoroughly adjust to the Brazilian context. Thus, we identified three orientation profiles for slow fashion consumption: averse to exclusivity, highly, and low orientation.

This article presents, describes, and evaluates, from the perspective of Design for Sustainability (DfS), the social, economic, and technological aspects of the process of developing and manufacturing anatomical biomodels to support surgery using 3D printing in a Brazilian public hospital. This process had an interdisciplinary character, involving professionals of Design, Odontology, and Physiotherapy. The assessment was carried out using DfS (Design for Sustainability) social and environmental heuristics (guidelines), and enabled the identification of relevant aspects, as well as opportunities for improvement in processes. Among the results, the importance of having a specific space dedicated to digital manufacturing in public hospitals stands out, which speeds up the development of biomodels, as well as the quantity, diversity, and quality of 3D printing equipment, which allows the exploration of multiple possibilities for processes and materials, speeding up innovation in the hospital environment.

ALTERNATIVE PERSPECTIVES WITH SOCIO-ENVIRONMENTAL EMPHASIS FOR THE FUTURE OF DESIGN

Natalí Abreu Garcia, Carlo Franzato — Wed, 29 May 2024 00:00:00 +0000

This article presents the origins and transformations of modern design, which emerged in Europe and was initially associated with the industrialization process. We also present the critique of visionary thinkers such as Morris, Papanek, Manzini, Regenesis Group and Escobar, who suggest a reflection towards socio-environmental issues. Through an articulation among contemporary proposals, the aim is to encourage the reinvention of design methods, guided by an organic, ecological and a process-based worldview, in which the designer can transcend his/her role as a mere executor of capitalist rationale, to become a fundamental agent in the social transition towards regeneration and ecosystem health.

GRAPHIC DESIGN FOR THE PREVENTION OF VIOLENCE IN A PUBLIC SCHOOL

Wed, 29 May 2024 00:00:00 +0000

This project aimed to answer the following problem-question: how could Graphic Design contribute to the prevention of violence in a public school? The object of study was a public school located in the city of Belo Horizonte, where there were cases of violence among students between 11 and 14 years old. The goal was to plan, execute and evaluate actions to prevent violence among students. The method consisted of carrying out two workshops for the production of violence prevention posters, followed by the production of an artistic intervention on the inner face of one of the school's outer walls. The results indicate that Graphic Design can contribute by creating and/or strengthening support networks for violence prevention.

PROPOSAL TO REDUCE ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT THROUGH PACKAGING SYSTEM DESIGN

Fri, 31 May 2024 00:00:00 +0000

One of the necessary steps for Packaging-Oriented Systems Design deals with mapping all packaging and accessories along a given value chain. This mapping covers the main filling, storage, and distribution flow, as well as its relationship with packaging levels and parallel flows, incorporated from other stages of the life cycle. These relationships can waste resources and cause environmental impact if they are not visible during the process. The objective of this article is to propose a framework to make the flow of artifacts throughout a Packaging System visible, with a view to reducing environmental impact. The framework was tested and evaluated in a dairy industry, resulting in a possible 20% reduction in packaging used to contain the same volume of product, if the improvements proposed from the study were applied. The method used was Design Science Research. The study contributes to advancing the understanding of the operationalization of Systems Design in the context of packaging, presenting the complexity of the relationship between the packaging and the product during its life cycle and its interactions with the companies' internal and external processes.

Lisiane Ilha Librelotto, Grongel Rás Rufino Calei — Mon, 17 Jun 2024 00:00:00 +0000

This article focuses on the Angolan vernacular architecture and is part of a master's dissertation. As a cultural
heritage, understanding vernacular architecture also helps us search for more sustainable construction
alternatives. To this end, this article aims to characterize the Angolan vernacular architecture by carrying out
a theoretical literature review and a case study in the province of Huíla (Mupalala), Angola, for the cubatas of
the Nyaneka-Humbi ethnic group. For this case study, it was imperative to interview local residents in order
to understand the cultural aspects of construction, building techniques and materials used. In the end, it was
possible to characterize this type of construction and understand possible contributions to propose more
sustainable construction.
