Historicamente, os concursos públicos de projetos de Arquitetura e Urbanismo produzem material que apresentam diferentes soluções a um mesmo problema. Do edital até a seleção de projetos, o concurso é um processo que permite oportunidades de investigação por meio de vários enfoques. Cientes da importância da produção intelectual resultante desses concursos, pesquisadores da UNIRITTER e UFRGS, em parceria com o Instituto de Arquitetos do Brasil – Departamento do Rio Grande do Sul (IAB/RS), formataram um Acervo que contém o material de concursos realizados no Rio Grande do Sul. Esta pesquisa é inspirada em parte do conteúdo desse Acervo. O foco desta pesquisa está sobre resultados de análises que investigam a influência da formulação do problema em soluções projetuais das propostas classificadas em Concursos de Projetos Urbanos no RS, selecionados entre 2006 e 2016. Para desenvolver a metodologia da pesquisa, utilizou fundamentos do Design Thinking, uma abordagem que permite focar tanto no usuário quanto no problema em si, objetivando soluções mais precisas. Assim, esta pesquisa analisou o problema e a solução para Projetos Urbanos, propondo uma Matriz de Análise a partir de fundamentos da abordagem do Design Thinking. As bases dos concursos foram consideradas a proposição do problema, enquanto os resultados dos concursos, ou seja, os projetos classificados, foram utilizados como o valor gerado pelo concurso. O processo de comparação entre bases dos concursos (proposição do problema) e solução (projetos classificados/atas de julgamento) foi determinado como a incógnita da equação. Desse modo, se estabeleceu a questão de pesquisa que questionou a influência da proposição do problema sobre a resposta em Projetos Urbanos resultantes de concursos. Por meio do uso de ferramentas de análise da retórica da linguagem verbal e visual, aplicadas tanto sobre as bases dos concursos selecionados, quanto nas propostas projetuais classificadas, a pesquisa comparou o problema (bases dos concursos), as soluções propostas (projetos) e a seleção do júri (classificação). A investigação foi dividida em quatro etapas principais, na qual a primeira se concentrou em explorar o Acervo e desenvolver critérios de seleção de amostra, além de fundamentar a pesquisa por meio de revisão de literatura; a segunda etapa teve o foco voltado para o desenvolvimento da Matriz de Análise e seleção e aplicação de ferramentas de retórica verbal e visual; a terceira etapa foi o momento de tabulação e análise de dados; a quarta e última etapa da pesquisa foi a base para a consolidação dos dados e análise dos resultados. A principal contribuição da pesquisa foi misturar métodos de diferentes abordagens para entender a relação entre problema e solução em Projeto Urbano, o que pode revelar meios para uma melhor elaboração do problema de projeto em concursos futuros. Além disso, fomenta o debate sobre a formulação dos problemas em Projetos Urbanos de concursos públicos. O estudo também apresentou recomendações para melhoria da composição de acervo existente e estudos futuros. / Historically, public tendering for Architecture and Urbanism projects produce material that show different solutions to the same problem. From the public notice to the project selection, public tendering is a process that permits investigation opportunities via plenty of approaches. Aware of the importance of the intellectual production that results from these public tenderings, UNIRITTER and UFRGS researchers, along with the Brazilian Architects’ Institute – Rio Grande do Sul section (IAB/RS), formulated a archive that contains the material made in public tenderings in Rio Grande do Sul. This research is inspired in part of this archive. The focus of this research is about the results of analysis that investigate the influence the formulation of the problem in projectual solutions of the classified propositions classified in urban project public tenderings in Rio Grande do Sul, selected between 2006 and 2016. To develop the research methodology, we used fundamentals of Design Thinking, an approach that allows to focus on the user and also on the proble itself, aiming for more precise solutions. So, this research analyzed the problem and solution for Urban Projects, proposing a matrix of analysis on the basis of Design Thinking Approach. The public tendering bases were considered as the proposition of the problem, while the results of the exams, that is, the classified projects, were used as the value generated by the tendering. The comparative process between tendering basis (proposition of the problem) and solution (classified projects/adjudgment acts) was determine as the unknown element of the equation. In that way, it was established that the research question that questioned the proposition of the problem’s influence over the answer in Urban Project that resulted from public exams. Through the use of tools of analysis of rhetoric of verbal and visual language, applied over the bases of the selected tendering, and also on the classified projectual propositions, this research compares the problem (public tendering basis), the proposed solutions (projects) and the jury selection (classification). The investigation was divided in four main stages, in which the first focused on exploring the archive and develop sample selection criteria, also fundamenting the research by means of literature revision; the second stage focused on the development of the matrix of analysis, selection and application of tools of analysis of rhetoric of verbal and visual language; the third stage was the tabulation and data analysis; the fourth and last research stage was the basis of the data consolidation and analysis of the results. The main contribution of the research was to show methods of different approaches to understand the relation between problem and solution in Urban Projects, something that can reveal means to a better elaboration of the project’s problem in future public tenderings. Also, it stimulates the debate about the formulation of problems in Urban Projects public tenderings. This research also shows recommendations to improve the composition of the existing archive and its future studies.

The purpose of this research was to investigate the application of design processes to the development of novel self-use molecular diagnostic devices for sexually transmitted infections. The argument proposed in this thesis is that the application of design methods at the earliest research stages into miniaturised, low cost, molecular diagnostic technologies will accelerate and improve the process of translating proof of concept diagnostic technologies into usable devices. Concept development requirements and potential issues and barriers to development were identified through interviews with expert stakeholders. These requirements were further refined through a survey of a multidisciplinary diagnostic medical device research group. An action research method was applied to develop a proof of concept prototype to the preclinical trial stage. Through these research studies, a design process model was formulated for use in a research environment. The application of design methods to the proof of concept prototype described in the thesis have resulted in a preclinical trial prototype that exhibits the necessary features for development into a self-use molecular diagnostic device. Issues and barriers were identified and discussed, design guidelines for further development beyond preclinical trial were defined and a generalised design process model for self-use molecular diagnostic devices for sexually transmitted infections was proposed. This research highlights the need for design methods to be applied at the earliest possible stages of the development of novel molecular diagnostic devices.

Environmental deterioration and social injustice highlight the discrepancy between ‘educated' and ‘wise' and, by corollary, call into question our approach to education. In order to investigate how we might advance Education for Sustainability (EfS) in a Scottish secondary school context this research engages with: relevant theory, the educational policy context, and practice in the form of two action research pilot projects. The concepts of utopianism and design are proposed as original and potentially useful to understand, guide and evaluate EfS and are linked to an analytical framework to clarify the concept of EfS endorsed in this thesis. The analytical framework developed comprises four thinking modes: systems thinking; future thinking; an emphasis on values and priorities; and action competency, each qualified through reference to practice. The pilot projects highlighted the challenges of monitoring and evaluating; illustrated opportunities and challenges to deliver EfS theory; offered new theoretical insights into EfS implementation; and enabled reflection on the status of EfS in the wider curriculum. The challenge of undertaking action research as a postgraduate student led to critical analysis of action research in academia. The thesis highlights the potentially promising policy context to facilitate EfS, particularly in Scotland, but also the practical challenges to implement EfS. Such challenges include: concerns over the clarity of policy documents; teachers' interest and ability to facilitate pupil-led learning; and resources to support the quality of EfS being delivered. Recommendations for future research include additional classroom-based projects; policy implementation analysis; and investigation of teachers' values, attitudes and capacity. It was concluded that utopianism, design, and the four thinking modes can potentially contribute to qualifying EfS in current policy and facilitate pupils to critique the status quo, and develop and share alternative visions of a sustainable future.

In this paper we describe UX and design thinking as a method for library development, and we describe the library as a democratic arena and its democratic mission. These ideas and methods are becoming more of common use among libraries. Since public libraries have a democratic mission we find it relevant to examine what view is presented within these new methods of libraries, users and democracy. Design thinking and UX have developed within the private sector, and since libraries in Sweden are financed by the public sector conflicts may arise between the two. The purpose of this paper is to perform an ideology analysis of the document Design thinking for libraries – Toolkit (the Swedish version). This with the purpose to shed light on these aspects, and to find out how they relate to Paulo Freire’s and Henry Giroux’s theories of critical pedagogy and radical democracy with the concepts empowerment and marginalisation. From the analysis, an ideological view emerges that promotes neoliberal values, instead of a more radical democratic view that we would expect to find since the Toolkit is created as a method for library development. Users appear as providers of information, which is then used as a design-tool for this development. Compared to Freire and Giroux, this is not equal to empowerment since focus is not on strengthening users. In addition to this, we have found that problems are not allowed to exist in the Toolkit since they are invariably supposed to be seen as opportunities instead, which gives the impression that marginalisation is a person’s own fault. Furthermore, the Toolkit emphasises the librarian instead of the user, and also requires that the practitioner is open minded, positive and trusts the process. In other words, there is not much room for reflection or critical thinking, either among staff or users, hence, democracy is not promoted.

Professional Culture, Working Routine, and Field Knowledge directly interfere on final results of Press Office praxis, as well as on using new methodologies. This paper aims to present methodological contributions on Design Thinking for the praxis of a University’s Press Office. A documental and bibliographical research was carried out on Newsmaking theory, Press Office and Design Thinking - Participant Observation took place in order to map the Press Office of URI Santo Ângelo on Northwest of Rio Grande do Sul – Brazil. Suggested techniques on Press Office were also pointed out. It was a major concern to define points of action on the use of Journalism and Press Office theory, basing on working routine and business organizational charts. Therefore links were made between Newsmaking theory and Press Office as well as the use of Design Thinking tools on Journalism field. During the research it was possible to notice that Design Thinking methodology has relevant contribution to communication field, since it has applicable tools of generation of new products, communication with the press, stories definition, management events, among other processes within Press Office. Finally, the study brings proposals to the application of Design Thinking methodology on Press Office, pointing tools and models that may have applicability on a practical way on the model of the University and in other institutions.

Dissertação (mestrado)—Universidade de Brasília, Centro de Estudos Avançados e Multidisciplinares, Programa de Pós-Graduação em Desenvolvimento, Sociedade e Cooperação Internacional, 2018. / A busca por soluções para aos problemas enfrentados pelo Estado estão cada vez mais complexas. O descrédito da população na capacidade do Estado em oferecer respostas efetivas só aumenta. Com efeito, o sentimento das pessoas é o de não pertença, isto é, os cidadãos não sentem suas necessidades representadas nas políticas públicas propostas. Neste sentido, os teóricos do Design Thinking dizem buscar, dentre outras coisas, inverter esta lógica de não pertencimento. Com o interesse focado no ser-humano, propõem que esta abordagem seja uma das formas de gestão que possibilite diminuir os problemas no setor público. O Projeto Talentos Cesas (PTC) ocorre em uma escola de Educação de Jovens e Adultos da rede pública do Distrito Federal que oferta cursos profissionalizantes. Este trabalho tem como objetivo perceber como a Gestão Design Thinking vem sendo utilizada no PTC visando a possibilidade de se pensar inovação no setor público. Os principais resultados são encontrados na correlação entre os valores estabelecidos pelo projeto e dos usuários-cidadãos dos cursos oferecidos. / The problems faced by the State are becoming increasingly complex to solve: Water crisis, urban violence, labor automation, budget constraints, quality education, etc. In addition, there has also been a growing discredit on the state's ability to perceive and respond to these same problems. In effect, the feeling that permeates these proposals is that of nonmembership, that is to say, citizens do not feel their needs and aspirations represented in the propositions made. In this sense, theorists of Design Thinking applied to the public sector say they seek to reverse this logic. Starting from an interest focused on the human being, what they propose is that this approach is a way of treating the subject in such a way as to eliminate these problems mentioned. A project established in a school of Young and Adults Education of the public school network of the Federal District that offer professional education. This work aims to understand how the Management Design Thinking has been used in the Talent CESAS Project - PTC aiming at the possibility of thinking about innovation in the public sector. The main results are found in the correlation between the values established by the project and the users-citizens of the courses offered.

Background: In the past few decades the world business map has shrunk considerably. Economic unions, tighter cooperation between different countries and across continents is nowadays setting the pace of current economy trends. Moreover, the rise of the internet and technology has interconnected people and markets more than ever. In this dynamic new setting, entrepreneurs and novel ideas have found the ideal ground to flourish. Startups are taking the business world by storm. Moreover, many of them are ambitious enough to engage in International markets right after their conception. It would be interesting to study the process they undergo and revisit it through the application of C-K Design Thinking Theory. Purpose: The purpose of this thesis dissertation is to apply Design Thinking C-K Theory in the Internationalization process of Startups and study how it can serve as model of reasoning for that process. Methodology: Primary data in the form of qualitative interviews were retrieved from three Startups concerning their Internationalization process. They were in turn analyzed by being revisited, with the application of Design Thinking Theory of C- K (Concept – Knowledge) and supported by relevant theory. The results were thought-provoking and will demonstrate how C-K can be used as a model of reasoning for this Process. Results: The study demonstrated that C-K Theory can be used as a model of reasoning for the Internationalization process by strengthening reasoning, improving management and organizing and working synergistically with other theories to generate creativity and problem solving.

Para lidar com a complexidade do processo de desenvolvimento de produtos e especialmente da compreensão das necessidades e anseios dos usuários, a identificação e criação de metodologias como o \"design thinking\" e a engenharia do valor tornou-se importante na geração de valores perceptíveis não só para estes usuários, mas também para as empresas que desenvolvem produtos, para a sociedade e para o meio ambiente. Buscou-se, através da proposta da utilização conjunta das duas metodologias citadas, integradas ao processo de desenvolvimento de produtos, observando as características respectivamente de divergência e de convergência, embasado na realidade auferida na indústria, melhorar a qualidade das fases iniciais do processo de desenvolvimento de produtos, em termos de redução do tempo de desenvolvimento, da assertividade das soluções propostas e dos custos do processo. A validação da técnica proposta deu-se através de dinâmicas envolvendo alunos de um MBA de Gestão e Engenharia de Produtos e Serviços, identificando os fluxos de informação ao longo de 7 ferramentas que compõem o modelo, e, posteriormente, aplicando o modelo completo, observando resultados que atestam a melhor compreensão das etapas e da sinergia relacionada à integração, alcançando objetivos de ensino, mas também de qualidade das soluções obtidas. / To deal with the complexity of the product development process and especially on how to understand the needs and desires of the users, the identification and creation of methodologies such as \"design thinking\" and value engineering became important in generating noticeable values not only for these users but also for companies that develop products for the society and to the environment. By proposing a joint technical of the two mentioned methods, integrated to the product development process, observing the characteristics respectively of divergence and convergence, based on the perceived reality in the industry, it sought to improve the quality of early stages of the product development process, in terms of how to reduce the development time, the assertiveness of the proposed solutions and process costs. The validation of the technique was made through research involving students of an MBA on Management and Engineering of Products and Services, identifying the information flows along the 7 tools that make up the model, and then applying the complete model, observing results that attest to the better understanding of the stages and synergy related to integration, achieving teaching objectives, but also the quality of the solutions obtained.
