  • MICROCARROS EUROPEUS Design E Mobilidade Sustentável
    UNIVERSIDADE DE LISBOA FACULDADE DE BELAS-ARTES MICROCARROS EUROPEUS Design e Mobilidade sustentável Maria João Tavares dos Santos Gabriel Dissertação Mestrado em Design de Equipamento Especialização em Design de Produto Dissertação orientada pelo Professor Doutor Paulo Parra 2019 DECLARAÇÃO DE AUTORIA Eu, Maria João Tavares dos Santos Gabriel, declaro que a presente dissertação de mestrado intitulada “MICROCARROS EUROPEUS”, é o resultado da minha investigação pessoal e independente. O conteúdo é original e todas as fontes consultadas estão devidamente mencionadas na bibliografia ou outras listagens de fontes documentais, tal como todas as citações diretas ou indiretas têm devida indicação ao longo do trabalho segundo as normas académicas. O Candidato Lisboa, 31 de outubro de 2019 RESUMO A presente dissertação tem como tema “Microcarros Europeus – Design e Mobilidade sustentável”. O principal objetivo deste trabalho traduz-se na construção de uma leitura sistematizada do projeto e implementação de microcarros europeus ao longo do século XX, tendo em vista não só o esclarecimento/definição do próprio conceito, mas também a perceção do seu papel atual e futuro a nível da mobilidade urbana sustentável. Neste sentido, percorrem-se dimensões como o design específico dos veículos, antecessores, autores e empresas envolvidas, assim como o contexto socioeconómico inerente. Como metodologia, realizou-se uma pesquisa exaustiva em fontes bibliográficas e fontes on-line, para além de contactos diretos com colecionadores e especialistas na temática, através de fóruns de debate e participação em encontros e mostras nacionais. Os microcarros consistem em veículos motorizados, que surgiram na Europa após a Segunda Guerra Mundial, num contexto de escassez de recursos económicos, energéticos e de materiais de produção.
