Resumo: | This paper aims to show the design process of a project developed by the Design students of the Universidade de Aveiro. The project is part of a wide challenge launched to all Portuguese Design Universities called “Action for Age”. This initiative intends to raise awareness amongst young designers to the problematic of population ageing and its consequent social transformations. It is intended to showcase new approaches to the design process, focusing in Service De- sign, contributing towards the consolidation of an emerging field in the Design area. The students were asked to identify a place and design a solution that would stimulate intergenerational relationships. Students were prompted to define their own brief, which led them to develop flexible solutions: a service, a network, an object, a shop, an initiative. The purpose was to conceive an integrated solution that could respond to the identified need of enhancing intergenerational relationships, resulting in better integration of the elderly, as well as other individuals, in the community. For the project kick off, students had to pinpoint a place and its ongoing activities. Those activities were regarded as social innovations, and as their goal was to analyse them thoroughly and propose ways to strengthen and connect them. On a second phase, students were engaged in scenarios’ building, which worked as a tool to facilitate strategic discussion amongst the different stakeholders involved, and later designed the toolkits that would enable the implementation of those scenarios. The results of these projects will be presented, although the focus of this paper is more the process and tools used for their development. |

O projeto chamado Action for Age é parte de um desafio lançado a todas as Universidades portuguesas que leccionam o curso de Design. Esta iniciativa pretende sensibilizar os jovens designers para a problemática do envelhecimento da população e suas conseqüentes transformações sociais. Destina-se a mostrar novas abordagens para o processo de design, concentrando-se em Design de Serviços, contribuindo para a consolidação de um campo emergente na área de Design. Os alunos foram convidados a identificar um local e projetar uma solução que pudesse estimular relações intergeracionais. Os alunos foram solicitados a definir seu próprio briefing, que os levou a desenvolver soluções flexíveis: um serviço, uma rede, um objeto, uma loja, uma iniciativa. O objetivo foi conceber uma solução integrada que pudesse responder à necessidade identificada de melhorar as relações intergeracionais, resultando em uma melhor integração dos idosos, bem como outras pessoas, na comunidade. Para dar início ao projeto, os alunos tiveram de identificar um lugar e as suas atividades. Essas atividades foram consideradas como inovações sociais, e como tal a sua meta era analisá-las cuidadosamente e propor formas para fortalecer e conectá-las. Numa segunda fase, os alunos envolveram-se na construção de cenários, que funcionavam como uma ferramenta para facilitar uma discussão estratégica entre as diferentes partes interessadas, e posteriormente projetar os kits de ferramentas que permitam a implementação desses cenários. Os resultados destes projetos serão apresentados, embora o foco deste trabalho seja o processo e as ferramentas utilizadas para o seu desenvolvimento.Unisinos2015-02-20T16:01:52Z2012-01-01T00:00:00Z2012-01info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersioninfo:eu-repo/semantics/articleapplication/pdfhttp://hdl.handle.net/10773/13449eng1984-298810.4013/sdrj.2012.51.02Franqueira, TeresaGomes, GonçaloCosta, Rui Carlosinfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessreponame:Repositório Científico de Acesso Aberto de Portugal (Repositórios Cientìficos)instname:Agência para a Sociedade do Conhecimento (UMIC) - FCT - Sociedade da Informaçãoinstacron:RCAAP2024-02-22T11:24:18Zoai:ria.ua.pt:10773/13449Portal AgregadorONGhttps://www.rcaap.pt/oai/openaireopendoar:71602024-03-20T02:49:15.164203Repositório Científico de Acesso Aberto de Portugal (Repositórios Cientìficos) - Agência para a Sociedade do Conhecimento (UMIC) - FCT - Sociedade da Informaçãofalse |
