Através da nova interpretação e compreensão dos aspectos em relação moda identidade, design social, e da maneira como se encontra o comportamento da sociedade consumista, tende-se a elevar a demanda do indivíduo contemporâneo, preocupado com o futuro ambiental. O surgimento de novos cenários e atores indica uma maior visibilidade à postura de responsabilidade socioambiental na área de moda e possibilita a consolidação da sociedade contemporânea. Devido a estas premissas, esta pesquisa teve como objetivo propor procedimentos, utilizando como referência a metodologia projetual de Löbach para desenvolvimento de produtos sustentáveis têxteis a partir de sobras dos materiais das micro e pequenas confecções. A Metodologia utilizada foi a pesquisa bibliográfica, que constitui o procedimento básico para os estudos monográficos, e a pesquisa exploratória, pois não requer a formulação de hipóteses para serem testadas. Ela se restringe por definir objetivos, buscar mais informações sobre determinado assunto de estudo e identificar qual o melhor método a ser utilizado. No caso deste projeto, a ideia foi adaptar a sintetização de Löbach no processo de design, relacionando-o com o processo de resolução de problemas e o processo criativo, em quatro iniciativas essenciais: definir claramente o problema (preparação); reunir informações sobre o problema, analisá-las e relacioná-las criativamente entre si (geração); criar alternativas de soluções para o problema, julgando-as segundo critérios estabelecidos (avaliação) e desenvolver a alternativa mais adequada, concretizando a (realização). Após a elaboração do projeto, comprovou-se que a metodologia utilizada se mostrou viável para o desenvolvimento de produtos sustentáveis, voltados para a sociedade e consumo / Through the new interpretation and understanding of the aspects about fashion-identity, social design, and how the behavior of the consumer society, tend to increase the demand of the contemporary individual, worried about the future. The emergence of new models and actors indicates a greater visibility to the posture of social and environmental responsibility in the area of fashion and enables consolidation of a contemporary society. Due to these premises, this research aimed to propose procedures, using as a reference the design methodology of Löbach for development of sustainable textile products from leftovers from materials of micro and small manufacturing. The methodology used was bibliographical research to which constitutes the basic procedure for the monographic studies and exploratory research because it does not require the formulation of hypotheses to be tested. She is restricted by set goals, get more information about a particular subject to study and identify the best method to be used, in the case of this project, the idea was to adapt the Löbach synthesis in the design process, linking it with the problem-solving process and the creative process, on four key initiatives to clearly define the problem (preparation); gather information about the problem, analyze them and relate them creatively with each other (generation); create alternative solutions to the problem, judging the second criteria (evaluation) and develop the most suitable alternative, establishing the (realization). After the elaboration of the project proved that the methodology used proved to be viable for the development of sustainable products, geared to society and consumption

The important positions and proposals of the thesis are firstly the framework posited for a socially sustainable urban environment, and secondly a proposal for the parameters of place formation for sustainable urban design. Research into social sustainability has provided a variety of approaches among which Castells&amp / #8217 / model for urban movements have been adapted as a matrix for social organization in terms of placemaking, highlighting the goals of an urban movement, in this case of a place, with the citizen as urban actor, against its adversary the historical actor. As for the parameters of place formation a matrix of place is developed as a tool for urban design and for measuring urban sustainability. The matrix delineates the six dimensions of place in terms of the three sustainabilities most strongly involved in each / to be measured by the indicators of sustainability which are to be achieved by applying various strategies for urban design. As a result of the study of the underlying dynamics of the paradigms of sustainability, place, and place-making, and the shifting role of urban design necessitated by problems of urbaproposed within a discourse that prefers to see the three sustainabilities in conjunction and, believes socially sustainable communities to be also environmentally and economically sustainable- the issue becomes how to facilitate a place process through urban design. Place as a social product, and place as an experiential, cognitive construct, place as object and subject of place-making, and place as a geographically specific, historical materialist formation are the four vantage points from which to inspect the juxtapositions and differences of the concept / and may be arrive at a theory of place. The predilection that sustainability and urbanization can be evaluated via placemaking stems, on one hand, from a study of the city/urbanization through the works of Harvey, Castells, Lefebvre and Bookchin who emphasize social space/process in the face of physical/geometric space / and an architectural background/disposition which finds place congenial on the other hand. The paradigm of sustainability and place, and place-making as urban design is applied to the case of Temelli, Ankara for a critique of sustainable/unsustainable urbanization. As a geographic, social, economic and historical location within the Greater Municipality of Ankara, Temelli has been a region of attraction for investors since the 1990s. What was once a small village planned for settling Balkan immigrants, became a municipality in 1994 / the land within the municipal boundaries were increased tenfold, and the region was earmarked for an overspill of 650,000 people from Ankara Metropolitan Area in the next 20 years. Four residential areas in the region have been assessed comparatively in terms of sustainable urban forms / and an evaluation of everyday lives have been conducted through surveys and interviews with residents to observe how and if place as social product evolved / how the conceived, perceived and lived spaces interacted.

The mainstream ecosystem has proven unsustainable in terms of livelihood, environmental stewardship, cultural heritage, and social equality. To alleviate these problems, a range of top-down strategies has been deployed, but they are often ineffective in addressing the specific needs and aspirations of diverse contexts. On the other hand, bottom-up initiatives started by communities also face organisational and resource limitations that prevent them from becoming resilient. Within this context, service design for social innovation has become a well-established human-centred, strategic and systemic approach to tackling such challenges. However, designers have put much emphasis on the use of fixed toolkits that result in one-size-fits-all outputs. Instead, this thesis argues for a more situated and embedded approach to service design. With this in mind, the aim of the research was to explore new roles, purposes and methods the service designer can adopt to activate communities to transition towards a more sustainable future. For this purpose, participatory case studies were undertaken with two textile artisan communities (in Nottingham, UK, and Cape Town, South Africa), chosen as relevant cases of design, production and consumption. As a result of both cases, the designer activated the artisans, previously working in an isolated and precarious condition, to become a community and outline a situated service proposition that embeds a shared vision for a sustainable future. Building on emerging anthropological approaches to service design, the thesis contributes an original methodological framework, which equips the service designer with cultural sensibility when entering communities, aiding in making sense of sustainable futures, facilitating the co-design of situated services and activating local legacies. In this, the investigation evidenced the diverse roles - cultural insider, storyteller, sensemaker, facilitator, and activist - the service designer can play throughout a social innovation process. Furthermore, the thesis emphasised that the mastery of the designer lies in the skill of tailoring his/her approach to specific contexts in order to craft situated services that are meaningful to the communities using them.

Esta pesquisa apresenta uma proposta de intervenção colaborativa do designer no processo de desenvolvimento de produtos de Tecnologia Assistiva (TA). A intenção dessa proposta foi sugerir uma forma de atuação colaborativa e integrada do designer, que considere o usuário como protagonista de todo o processo e contribua para com os demais profissionais que hoje atuam no desenvolvimento de TA. A proposta objetivou favorecer ainda, o desenvolvimento de produtos mais adequados aos contextos reais e sociais do usuário e que assim potencializem a pessoa com deficiência nas tarefas das atividades diárias com vistas a inclusão social e escolar. Para atingir o objetivo principal da pesquisa, a estratégia adotada foi a realização de uma pesquisa de campo exploratória através da análise de um caso – criança com deficiência, com sete anos de idade, que estava no início da terapia no centro de reabilitação e que frequentava uma escola de ensino regular. Este estudo considerou que as demandas específicas de pessoas com deficiência, sobretudo as crianças, devem merecer a devida atenção para indicarem os atributos a serem considerados com vistas aos requisitos de projeto de produtos assistivos. / The development of the social inclusion process, which is built from policies, laws, projects and services, configures a new scenario that demands collective actions from society as a whole. Universities, companies, associations and professionals must think, research and act to create opportunities to effectively enable all individuals to use the built environment, and all products and services integrated within it, with safety and comfort. These collective actions require the participation of several professionals at the places attended by the users, where real demands can be identified and where strategies can be operationalized. The key to achieve this is an integrated and collaborative development process for Assistive technology (AT) products, reinforced through an interdisciplinary work in which the user - a disabled child - is the protagonist of the whole process. Therefore, this study presents a proposal for a collaborative designer's intervention in the Assistive Technology development process. The proposal intends to suggest a form of integrated and collaborative action, which considers the user as the protagonist of the whole process, and also to contribute with other professionals that currently work on the development of new AT products. Additionally, the proposal seeks to favor the creation of products that are more appropriate for the user's social and daily reality, and that because that, are able to potentiate the disabled people on their daily activities in order to accomplish social and educational inclusion. To fulfill this research's main objective, the chosen strategy was to do an exploratory field research through case analysis: disabled child, seven years old, who was starting his treatment at the rehabilitation center and that was at the same time going to regular school. This study considers that the specific demands of disabled people, especially children, deserve a fair amount of attention because they can indicate attributes that should be taken into consideration on the development of assistive technology products.

Set in the relatively new and fast developing field of investigation known as Internet of Things (IoT), this research starts by looking at the lack of critical and conceptual reflection on the area. With a main research question that challenges the underlying concepts of the IoT, the study develops a performative design framework to critique the field of investigation. The main corpus consists of: 1. speculative inquiry into the ontological dualisms of ‘objects’ and ‘things’ and the emerging social dimension of humans and non-humans; 2. the identification of an ontological-performative model based on the idea of Props; 3. the entanglement of theory and practice to construct a performative design framework, called the Internet of Props, which includes: an enabling platform (Smarter Planet Lab) and a set of design strategies (Transactional Props) to demonstrate and evaluate this model and framework; 4. a combined-evaluation conversational analysis methodology that assesses the performativity of the setting and the Props, through linguistic and socio-behavioural studies. Inspired by the concepts of ontological theatre, the entanglement of humans and non-humans, and the Internet of People; the IoT is imagined and performed in a theory-driven, practice-based investigation of the Internet of Props, which aims to bring new theoretical and practical knowledge for the future of the IoT.

Esta pesquisa trata fundamentalmente das possibilidades do Design agir no processo de valorização e fortalecimento de comunidades, em específico no setor da agricultura familiar, por meio da representação gráfico-visual da identidade desses sujeitos. A hipótese é que o modo de distribuição dos agricultores nas terras desapropriadas pelo Incra, associada a problemática da fragmentação das identidades na contemporaneidade, podem ser causas para a falta de coesão entre os sujeitos, refletindo na questão da identidade coletiva. Assim, o objetivo é desenvolver um procedimento para a representação gráfico-visual da identificação das Mulheres da Terra por meio de um mosaico conceitual. Para a coleta de dados são adotadas duas técnicas, as histórias de vida, que têm como tema central a identidade, onde se busca compreender a trajetória biográfica de cada membro; e aplicação de questionário, que aborda questões sobre a individualidade dos sujeitos e as suas relações com o ambiente e o próximo. Na fase de interpretação dos dados se faz a síntese dos termos, conceitos e palavras similares ou sinônimas encontradas no conjunto do material. Aplica-se a técnica de análise linguística denotativa aos conceitos previamente definidos, reunindo-se os elementos necessários para construção o mosaico conceitual. A pesquisa indica que por essas mulheres serem constituídas de diversidades culturais, tradições, linguagens e de suas histórias particulares, as identidades são genuinamente híbridas. Acredita-se que o fato das mulheres serem originárias de diversas regiões, reforça a questão da problemática da fragmentação das identidades na contemporaneidade. Sobre o produto final, o mosaico visual, ainda que tenha se utilizado uma estrutura formal que remeta à composição de mosaico conhecida, a peça gráfica se relaciona com a concepção de quebra cabeça associada a de mosaico científico. Por fim, o Design por meio de práticas conjuntas, pode agir de modo a facilitar essas relações de encontrar os pontos em comum e distintivos que configuram cada uma das pessoas, de modo a mostrar graficamente no que se constitui essas identidades, ainda que estas não sejam finalizadas. / This research deals fundamentally with the possibilities of Design act in the process of recovery and strengthening communities, specifically in family farming sector, through graphic-visual representation of the identity of these individuals. The hypothesis is that the mode of distribution of farmers on the land expropriated by Incra associated to the problematic of fragmentation of identities in contemporaneity, can be causes for the lack of cohesion among the subjects, reflecting on the issue of collective identity. So, the objective is to develop a proceeding for representing graphic-visual identification of farmers group Women’s Earth through a conceptual mosaic. For data collection, two techniques are adopted: life stories, whose central theme is identity, where one seeks to understand the life histories of each member; and a questionnaire, which addresses questions about the individuality of the subjects and their relationships with the environment and the next. At the stage of data interpretation becomes the synthesis of terms, concepts and similar words or synonyms found throughout the material. Applies the technique of denoting linguistic analysis to the concepts previously defined, gathering the information necessary to construct the mosaic concept. The research indicates that these women are made of cultural diversity, traditions, languages and their particular histories, soon the identities are genuinely hybrid. It is believed that the fact that women are originating from different regions, reinforces the problematic question of fragmentation of identity in contemporary life. On the final product, the visual mosaic, although it has a formal structure used to refer to the composition mosaic known, the graphic part is related to the conception of a puzzle associated with mosaic scientific. Finally, the Design through joint practices may act to facilitate these relationships to find common points and badges that shape each person in order to show graphically what constitutes these identities, although these do not are finalized.

O pressuposto desta dissertação é discutir a importância do papel social do designer no contemporâneo. Ao ativar o potencial criativo dessas comunidades e auxiliar no fortalecimento de vínculos entre seus membros, é capaz de gerar produtos coletivos que inauguram novas formas de existência auto-sustentáveis nestas comunidades. Em contrapartida, essa comunidade responde a esse diálogo e também é capaz de oferecer, a esse profissional de design, mudanças significativas em seu repertório criativo-projetual. A partir desse processo, as comunidades tornam-se independentes, aprendem a dar continuidade ao seu fazer artesanal, fortalecendo suas raízes através das inovações propostas. O projeto A mão na moda, desenvolvido pelo designer de moda Walter Rodrigues em parceria com as rendeiras do Piauí, comparece nesta dissertação, configurando-se como um exemplo consolidado dessa abordagem social do design.

Given this scenario, a determined approach stands out: the social architecture. In today's global economy, the architect obtains a status of Super Star, mainly targeting their architectural production for works that generate visibility and profit. However, the economic crisis of 2008 strengthened the emergence of a new group of architects who claim the social dimension of architecture. This group aims at linking and highlighting the social language in contemporary architecture and its local commitment by integrating a vernacular thought to a global understanding in order to reaffirm the importance of the social and political function of an architect, not just the practical, formal and aesthetic function. The scope of this dissertation girds up the analysis of the contemporary design process under the theoretical vision of important scholars of design, such as Stuart Walker, Victor Papanek, Alastair Fuad-Luke. Therefore, some projects of architect Alejandro Aravena that had emphasis on democratization of architectural design were analyzed, in order to identify effective relations between social aspects, ethics and design process in contemporary world. For this dissertation, design is approached as a complex area covering projective processes comprised both in architecture and in the design itself. / A presente dissertação visa compreender o aspecto social sob o viés do processo projetual, que está em contínua reestruturação. Perante esse cenário, uma abordagem se destaca: a abordagem social. Na atual economia global, o profissional ganha status de Super Star, direcionando principalmente sua produção para obras que gerem visibilidade e lucro. Todavia, a crise econômica de 2008 deu força ao surgimento de um novo grupo que reivindica a dimensão social do processo projetual. Esse grupo visa interligar e destacar a linguagem social no processo projetual contemporâneo e seu comprometimento local, integrando um pensamento vernacular a uma compreensão global, de modo a reafirmar a importância da função social do profissional, e não apenas a função prática, formal e estética. O escopo desta dissertação cinge-se à análise do processo projetual contemporâneo, sob a visão teórica de importantes estudiosos do Design, como Stuart Walker, Victor Papanek e Alastair Fuad- Luke. Para tanto, foi feita a análise de alguns projetos do arquiteto Alejandro Aravena, que tiveram ênfase na democratização do projeto arquitetônico, com o intuito de identificar as efetivas relações entre aspectos sociais e éticos com o processo projetual na contemporaneidade. Para tal, entendemos o design como área complexa, abrangendo processos projetuais compreendidos tanto na arquitetura quanto no próprio design.
