Essa dissertação de mestrado aborda a obra do artista plástico e designer Antonio Maluf e suas participações em projetos arquitetônicos. Adepto da arte concreta e a partir de seus conceitos e princípios, Maluf projetou murais, painéis, revestimentos, caracterização e beneficiamento de fachadas em parceria com arquitetos paulistas nas décadas de 1960/70, como Fábio Penteado, Lauro Costa Lima e Vilanova Artigas. A partir da referência das vanguardas artísticas construtivas, apresenta o conceito da arte concreta desde a criação do termo por Theo Van Doesburg em 1930, os desdobramentos elaborados por Max Bill a partir de 1936, a penetração da arte concreta no Brasil na década de 1950 e o conceito elaborado por Antonio Maluf através de alguns de seus trabalhos que se destacaram no período. A pesquisa identifica uma relação entre os objetivos da arte concreta e o desenho industrial, ambos com o ideal de criar uma linguagem moderna, com a qual a arte atingiria todos os campos da vida cotidiana através das formas puras e reproduzíveis pelos meios de produção industrial. Investiga essa preocupação na produção do artista estudado, tendo em vista que, a partir dos conceitos da arte concreta, Maluf desenvolveu trabalhos como designer em diferentes áreas e colaborou com a arquitetura. Estuda as relações entre a arte concreta e o ideal de síntese das artes da arquitetura moderna, na medida em que de diferentes maneiras os artistas concretos também caminharam na busca de uma aproximação e relação entre as artes. / This masters dissertation presents the work of the artist and designer Antonio Maluf and his participation in architectural projects. Follower of the concrete art Maluf designed murals, panels and facade enhancement during the 1960s and 1970s in partnership with architects from Sao Paulo such as Fabio Penteado, Lauro Costa Lima and Vilanova Artigas. Starting with the constructive vanguarde, this dissertation discusses the concrete art concept since its creation by Theo van Doesburg in 1930, its branching in 1936 by Max Bill, its beginning in Brazil during the 1950s and Antonio Malufs concept through some of his most expressive work. The research identifies the relationship between concrete art and industrial design, both with the ideal of creating a visual language to the new modern society, where art would influence all aspects of the daily life by pure forms reproduced by industrial production. Having in mind that starting from concrete art concepts, Maluf worked as a designer in different areas and sought collaboration with architecture. He establishes a relationship between concrete art and modern architecture, the same way other concrete artists sought a closer relationship among the different types of arts.

Diversos aspectos subjetivos influenciam o cliente no momento da aquisição de um produto. Estética, qualidade percebida e conforto são alguns deles, se o produto não atender às expectativas do cliente relacionadas a isto, corre o risco de se tornar um fracasso de vendas. Os objetivos do produto, quanto aos aspectos subjetivos, denominam-se requisitos subjetivos e são estabelecidos na primeira etapa do desenvolvimento de um novo produto (NPD). Tratá-los como imutáveis ao longo do NPD não condiz com a realidade atual de velozes mudanças. A literatura ainda é inexpressiva em relação à gestão das mudanças dos requisitos subjetivos. Este trabalho busca mostrar a importância de gerenciá-los ao longo de todo o NPD. Quanto mais longo for o ciclo desse processo, maior a chance de que os requisitos precisem ser revistos. Este estudo de caso, do interior do jato executivo Legacy 500, mostra algumas das consequências resultantes da falta de um processo para gerenciar os requisitos subjetivos. Os possíveis impactos estão relacionados com atrasos tanto no próprio projeto do produto em questão, como nos produtos que seriam desenvolvidos na sequência com o mesmo corpo de engenheiros, projetistas e designers e o aumento considerável de custos. Os resultados desta pesquisa apontam fatores internos e externos que podem afetar os requisitos subjetivos e sua gestão. Os internos estão relacionados à estratégia e ao posicionamento da marca, ao processo de gestão, à estrutura organizacional e à competência do(s) decisor(es) em design de produto, além de um profundo conhecimento do mercado e de quem é o potencial cliente, tanto por parte do decisor estratégico, quanto do time operacional. Já os externos estão relacionados às mudanças no mercado, aos novos produtos, às novas tecnologias e aos novos desejos/necessidades dos clientes. Diferentes sistemas, podem sofrer influência destes fatores, de distintas maneiras, no caso de um produto complexo. Também se dedica atenção ao processo decisório relacionado aos requisitos subjetivos, colaborando com a teoria e com a prática desta gestão, sugerindo um modelo que deixa evidente a importância do veículo de análise utilizado e das características do decisor. A natureza subjetiva de muitos aspectos do design do produto parecem conduzir a uma decisão do tipo intuitiva, diretamente relacionada com a experiência formal e profissional do(s) decisor(es). A representatividade do veículo de análise utilizado na avaliação dos requisitos subjetivos precisa ser a maior possível em todos os seus aspectos, já que o ser humano utiliza de todos os seus sentidos para formar a percepção que tem sobre um produto. O protótipo ou outro veículo de análise deve estar completo. A avaliação de partes em separado não gera a mesma percepção que sua avaliação como um todo. Materiais de acabamento, volumetria, resistência e rigidez de mecanismos e de componentes, interfaces, funcionalidades, temperatura, iluminação, ruídos e músicas são alguns dos exemplos que interferem na formação da percepção correta sobre o produto. Um produto que não é atraente para o cliente, não é lucrativo para a empresa. Por isso, gerenciar requisitos subjetivos é vital para a saúde do negócio. / Several subjective aspects influence the customer when purchasing a product. Aesthetics, perceived quality and comfort are some of them, if the product does not meet customer expectations related to this, it runs the risk of becoming a sales failure. The objectives of the product for the subjective aspects are called subjective requirements, they are established in the first stage of the development of a new product (NPD). Treating them as immutable throughout the NPD does not match the current reality of swift changes. The literature is still inexpressive in relation to the management of changes in subjective requirements. This work seeks to show the importance of managing them throughout the entire NPD. The longer the cycle of this process, the greater the chance that requirements need to be revised. This case study from the interior of the Legacy 500 executive jet shows some of the consequences resulting from the lack of a process to manage subjective requirements. The possible impacts, if perceived to be a need for change only during the final evaluation, already on the eve of entering the product on the market, are related to delays both in the project of the product itself and in the products that would be developed in sequence with the same body of engineers, designers and industrial designers and the considerable increase of costs. The results of this research point to internal and external factors that may affect the subjective requirements and their management. Internal factors are related to the strategy and positioning of the brand, the management process, the organizational structure and the competence of the decision maker (s) in product design, as well as a deep knowledge of the market and of who is the potential customer, that is need from both the strategic decision maker and the operational team. The external ones are related to changes in the market, new products, new technologies and new wishes / needs of the clients. Different systems may or may not be influenced from these factors in different ways in the case of a complex product. Attention is also given to the decision-making process related to subjective requirements, collaborating with the theory and practice of this management, suggesting a model that makes clear the importance of the analysis vehicle used and the characteristics of the decision maker. The subjective nature of many aspects of product design seem to lead to an intuitive decision, directly related to the formal and professional experience of the decision maker (s). The representativeness of the vehicle of analysis used in the evaluation of subjective requirements must be the greatest possible in all its aspects, since the human being uses all of his senses to form the perception he has about the product. The prototype or other analysis vehicle must be complete. The evaluation of separate parts does not generate the same perception as the complete set. Finishing materials, volumetry, resistance and rigidity of mechanisms and components, interfaces, functionalities, temperature, lighting, noise, music and other sounds are some of the examples that interfere in the formation of the correct perception about the product. A product that is not attractive to the customer, is not profitable for the company. Therefore, managing subjective requirements is vital to the business health

Surgido da divisão social do trabalho, que separou e hierarquizou os processos de concepção/gestão e execução, o design tem acompanhado as próprias transformações do atual modo de produção, principalmente a chamada reestruturação produtiva. Ligado historicamente à produção industrial capitalista, em determinados momentos da história do design surgem "fissuras emancipatórias" que, em última instância, não conseguem romper com a lógica contraditória da mercadoria, tampouco com a rigidez tecnocrático-gestorial da organização capitalista do processo de produção/circulação. Portanto, ao contrário do que afirmam determinadas concepções teóricas, o design nem sempre foi um instrumento de reprodução do capital, como se verificou no estudo de uma série de experiências históricas aqui apresentadas. No entanto, notou-se também um total descaso da teoria do design com estes aspectos, ao negligenciar os pontos de contato entre projeto e socialismo/comunismo. A hipótese é que estas contradições se assentem sobre a ligação estrutural que o design tem com a forma mercadoria, expressando as contradições entre valor de uso e valor (de troca), no processo de produção e reprodução do capital. Mais do que isso, a análise realizada também demonstrou que o design vem se tornando uma atividade eminentemente gestorial. Portanto, a teoria do design, objeto de investigação deste trabalho, na medida em que expressa aspectos das relações sociais de produção capitalistas, será confrontada com a crítica à Economia Política de Marx e com a teoria dos gestores de João Bernardo. Serão abordados aspectos históricos do design a partir dos conflitos sociais; as relações entre produção, circulação, consumo e necessidades humanas; assim como o problema do fetichismo da mercadoria. Na relação do design com o trabalho abstrato, a atividade de concepção aparece na forma de uma criatividade estranhada, quando posta exclusivamente a serviço da acumulação de capital. A análise da "virada gestorial" no design vai demonstrar como esta área vem se tornando cada vez mais apenas um instrumento "estratégico" de concorrência capitalista, de dominação de classe, engendrando uma série de "novos fetichismos". Este trabalho encerra com uma reflexão sobre as possibilidades históricas para o campo do projeto, numa possível transição para o comunismo. Pretende-se, assim, contribuir com o desenvolvimento de uma teoria do design crítica / Abstract: This thesis aims to analyze the contradictory nature of creative activity as applied to human material production, or what is known as Industrial Design. Having emerged from the social division of labor, which separated and hierarchized the processes of conception/management and execution, Design has been paralleling the changes in the current mode of production, particularly that known as productive restructuring. At certain points in the history of Design - a history linked to capitalist industrial production - there appeared some "emancipatory fissures" which ultimately could not break the contradictory logic of the commodity, nor the technocratic-managerial rigidity of the capitalist organization of production/circulation. Therefore, contrary to what some theoretical conceptions suggest, Design has not always been an instrument of capital reproduction, as the historical experiences reported in this study show. However, a total disregard for these issues was also noted in Design theory in the form of a neglect of any points of contact between project and socialism/communism. The hypothesis is that these contradictions rest on the structural link between Design and the commodity form, expressing the contradictions between use value and (exchange) value in the processes of production and reproduction of capital. In addition, the analysis shows that Design is becoming a predominantly managerial activity. Insofar as it expresses aspects of the capitalist social relations of production, Design theory, the object of this study, is confronted with the critique of Marx¿s political economy and João Bernardo¿s "theory of managers". Issues addressed include historical aspects of Design from the stance of social conflicts; the relations between production, circulation, consumption and human needs; and the problem of commodity fetishism. In the relationship between Design and abstract work, the activity of conception appears in the form of estranged creativity when put exclusively to the service of capital accumulation. Analysis of the "managerial turn" in Design shows that the area is increasingly becoming more of a mere "strategic" instrument of capitalist competition and class domination, engendering a series of "new fetishisms". This thesis ends with a reflection on the historical possibilities for the field of Project in a possible transition into communism. It is hoped that this work will contribute to the development of a critical theory of Design / Doutorado / Sociologia / Doutor em Sociologia

Design changes due to lack of constructability, cost overruns, delays and dissatisfied clients are but a few problems experienced in construction due to poor management of the design processes. Increased problems, challenges, demands and continuous criticism of the architectural profession has led to increased demand for research into the improvement of design processes. The aims of this research were to determine the adequacy of design management processes used by Eastern Cape (EC) architectural companies and compare these with the design management processes used in manufacturing in order to establish practices, theories, principles, technologies and deliverables that can be transferred from the manufacturing into the construction to improve efficiency of architectural design management. The quantitative research approach was implemented for this research, the questionnaire was designed to acquire primary, factual and attitudinal data from EC architectural companies and secondary data were acquired through a literature review. The results revealed that design management processes, continuous improvement philosophies, lean principles, and Information and Communication Technology (ICT) used by EC architectural companies are not similar to those used in manufacturing. Therefore EC architectural companies could increase their efficiency by adopting some of the design management processes, ICT, continuous improvement philosophies and lean principles originating from the manufacturing industry.

O ato de alimentar envolve aspectos muito além da nutrição, tais como as questões sensoriais, perceptivas, sociais, culturais, econômicas e ambientais. O cenário contemporâneo é composto por uma série de características e, entre elas, destacam-se as questões simbólicas, subjetivas que, a partir das ações interdisciplinares e transdisciplinares, atuam na ressignificação e, valorização da memória, da autoria, do desenvolvimento sustentável, e da inovação social. O design contemporâneo destaca as relações e inter-relações com outros campos do conhecimento, como, por exemplo, a gastronomia, que envolve o ato de comer, os equipamentos, utensílios, espaços, métodos e processos de desenvolvimento projetual, criativo e a aplicação dos conceitos advindos da estética do cotidiano que relacionam-se diretamente a esse universo. Entretanto, apesar da amplitude do tema e da divulgação midiática, suas relações são ainda pouco exploradas em termos de conceitos, aplicações e estudos científicos. Nesse sentido, o objetivo dessa pesquisa é identificar intersecções entre o design e a gastronomia no cenário contemporâneo e suas relações para com o usuário/sujeito. O método aplicado foi constituído por pesquisa bibliográfica, documental com estudos e análises de exemplos dos anos 2000. A revisão de literatura contou com referencial teórico acerca do design, da gastronomia, as expecta...

The act of feeding involves aspects far beyond nutrition, such as social, cultural, economic and environmental issues. The contemporary scenario is composed of a series of components, such as issues related to innovation, memory, authorship, sustainability, social innovation, interdisciplinarity and transdisciplinarity. Some of the more essential features of the contemporary design are the relations and interrelationships with other fields of knowledge, such as gastronomy, which involves eating, equipment, utensils, spaces, design and creative processes and aesthetic of the dish. However, despite the amplitude of the theme and media coverage, those relations or interrelationships are little explored regarding concepts and applications. In this sense, this research aims to identify potential intersections between design and gastronomy in the contemporary scenario. From this integration, this study sought to identify benefits for both areas, and, mainly, for the contemporary subject. The applied method consisted of bibliographical and documentary research. The literature review had a theoretical reference about the design, the gastronomy, the consumptive expectations of the contemporary subject, as well as the similar characteristics and the relations between the two disciplines, which make them relevant and influential. The intervention of design in the field of gastronomy takes place for many... (Complete abstract click electronic access below) / Mestre

abstract: The profession known as industrial design is undergoing a transformation. Design thinking and strategy are replacing form giving and styling. Critics are calling for curricular reform to meet the changing needs of practice, yet surprisingly little knowledge is available about how and why design teachers do what they do. In an effort to frame the problem of (re)designing design education, this study provides a framework for understanding the pedagogical beliefs and preferences of design students and educators utilizing Bruner’s four folk pedagogies. This study also provides evidence that the practices of industrial design teachers exhibit what Cross (2006) has described as ‘designerly ways of knowing.’ / Dissertation/Thesis / Doctoral Dissertation Design 2020

Forest fires has become an increasing threat all over the world. Pollution and rising greenhouse gases has led to an ever increase in global temperatures. Sweden has previously been spared from larger fires, but in the past few year it has been been made clear that these climate changes will affect the number and intensity of forest fires.  In this project I have investigated how forest fires work and how the process of  extinguishing them looks today. With a focus on the personal equipment I have looked into how to improve the working environment and the safety for fire-fighters. Using the design process this problem is tackled from a holistic point of view, looking at both the users and context. The solutions presented in this project is a professional safety product called “Phoenix. PPe Wildfire respirator”. A lightweight portable oxygen harness with an attached emergency mask.

The purpose of this thesis is to clarify to the reader the problem of misfuelling, which is the insertion of the wrong fuel in an engine, incompatible with the fuel inserted. Additionally, it contains research about the causes of this problem, current solutions in the market and a suggested solution according to the prior research and the findings of this thesis.

This master thesis project was a part of the education Master of science in Industrial Design Engineering at Luleå University of Technology with the mission of developing a work desk that suits in to the client company NoMoreBoots range of ski rental products. The background of the project was that work desks that are used mainly with the purpose of adjusting alpine ski bindings in ski rental shops often are primitive home constructions and other manufacturers work desks with the same purpose do not have enough advantages compared to the self-built ones to be worth the extra costs. With a new kind of tool introduced in the industry that facilitates the adjustments of alpine ski bindings came an opportunity to design the work desk in a new way. The work process has followed the user-centered design framework Double Diamond which consists of the phases: discover, define, develop and deliver. After exploring of the context with interviews and benchmarking, the projects main focus became at the ergonomic conditions and how it could be improved for the staff as it was the need identified that had the most protentional of improvements for the user. Literature studies, different types of idea generating methods and evaluations have been conducted to come up with a result that meet the needs of the users. The project resulted in a CAD model of a compact work desk that has a height adjustment mechanisk to enable the user to work with a good ergonomic position in several different work tasks.

The report was a result of the master thesis work for Industrial Design Engineering at Luleå University ofTechnology during spring 2021. The whole project was directed towards RJ Weld & Custom (RJWC) locatedin Boden on one of their best-selling aftermarket mufflers for the ATV, the Mud Edition.The purpose of the project was to develop the outside and inside of the Mud Edition muffler regarding design,material, and sound using a Human-Centered design approach. The Mud Edition muffler was assembled inBoden but separate parts were manufactured in China. RJWC had the opportunity to manufacture parts bythemselves as well, foremost in aluminum, steel, and carbon fiber. The goal of the project was to solve sometechnical aspects of the Mud Edition muffler and to come up with a new concept.The project has been carried out using the design thinking process throughout four design sprints. During thefirst design sprint, the design team investigated the problems and needs that exist today with the Mud Editionmuffler by conducting interviews and sending out surveys. During the second design sprint, the project teamidentified the current situation at RJWC with the help of literature studies and benchmarking. It was identifiedthat the sound desire of a muffler varies, more robust or more fun appearance is also desired and the ease ofassembling a muffler. The third and fourth design sprints focused on the design details and presentation of thefinal concept.Creative workshops and feedback sessions with RJWC were conducted for the identified issues and improvement of the solutions throughout the whole process. We implemented, tested, and evaluated. The result wasa reduced version of the Mud Edition muffler to facilitate shipping and assembly, new modern design thatreplaces welding and screws with Toggle Locks, V clamp, and Middle clamps.The design team hopes that the project can show the potentials of designing a muffler that looks different from the other typical mufflers in the market today. We hope that this project can inspire future workto think outside the box and embrace change to favor the user’s needs. The muffler is an important partand is visible on the ATV, we encourage the market to use details that make it more exciting to look at. / Rapporten var ett resultat av examensarbetet för Industrial Design Engineering vid Luleå tekniska universitetunder våren 2021. Hela projektet riktades mot RJ Weld & Custom (RJWC) i Boden på en av deras bästsäljandeandrahandsmarknads ljuddämpare för fyrhjulingar, Mud Edition.Syftet med projektet var att utveckla Mud Edition ljuddämparen angående design, material och ljud med hjälpav en användarcentrerad designprocess. Ljuddämparen Mud Edition monterades i Boden men separata delartillverkades i Kina. RJWC hade också möjlighet att tillverka delar själva, främst i aluminium, stål och kolfiber.Målet för projektet var att lösa några tekniska aspekter av Mud Edition ljuddämparen och komma med ett nyttkoncept.Projektet har genomförts med hjälp av Design Thinking process och har gått igenom fyra olika design sprints.Under den första design sprinten undersökte designteamet de problem och behov som finns idag med ljuddämparen Mud Edition genom att genomföra intervjuer och skicka ut enkäter. Under den andra design sprintentittade projektet på den aktuella situationen på RJWC med hjälp av litteraturstudier och benchmarking. Detidentifierades att önskan på ljuddet hos en ljuddämpare varierar, mer robust eller roligare utseende önskasockså och behovet att förenkla monteringen en ljuddämpare. Den tredje och fjärde designen sprint fokuseradepå designdetaljer och presentation av det slutliga konceptet.Kreativa workshops och feedback sessioner med RJWC genomfördes för de identifierade problem och förbättringar av lösningarna under hela processen. Minska storleken på ljuddämparens Mud Edition för att underlättatransport och montering samt ny modern design som ersätter svetsning och skruvar som Toggle Lock, V-klämma och mitt klämmor var en del av de lösningar som designteamet har hittat. Idéer testades och kan ses i resultatkapitlet. För framtida arbete rekommenderar designteamet fler tester i en mer verklighetsbaserad miljö.Designteamet hoppas att projektet kan visa potentialen i att designa en ljuddämpare som ser annorlunda ut ände andra typiska ljuddämparna på marknaden idag. Vi hoppas att detta projekt kan inspirera framtida arbete atttänka utanför lådan och omfamna förändringar för att gynna användarens behov. Ljuddämparen är en viktigdel och syns tydligt på ATV:n, vi uppmuntrar marknaden att använda detaljer som gör det mer spännande atttitta på.
