ADAPTABLE FURNITURE FOR VILLAGES IN SENEGAL MASTER’S DEGREE IN ADVANCED STUDIES IN DESIGN-BARCELONA SPECIALTY IN CONTEMPORARY DESIGN AUTHOR: HALIMATOU M’BALLO DIAO COURSE: 2020-2021 DIRECTOR: JOSEP MARIA FORT MIR ADABTABLE FURNITURE FOR VILLAGES IN SENEGAL HALIMATOU M’BALLO DIAO ABSTRACT Most houses and rooms in the villages in Senegal lack space since most rooms are used by more than one person. And since there isn’t a space specifically used as a living room, the bedrooms also work as such. That is why the owners of those rooms end up not having enough space to store all their belongings and have all the furniture that they need. This project aims to create a product that works as adaptable furniture for people, mostly women, and their children, who live in the villages of Senegal. We can define adaptable furniture as objects that can be easily moved around, adjusted, and changed, according to the situation. Therefore, I can solve the problem of lack of space while showcasing the traditions of Senegal and the skills of the craftsmen and manufacturers of this country. It is also important that the products will be manufactured in a sustainable and humane way. So, I can pay fair wages to the workers and create a minimal environmental impact. To prove the hypothesis that the villagers of Senegal truly need my product, I made an initial study, analyzing the place and the target user along with a study with similar cases in other countries and similar products that already exist in the market. Following this step, and with the information gathered, I defined what are the parts that my furniture will have, and how each one should interact with the other. In this project, I also had to justify different aspects like the materials I choose and the ornamentation on the different parts, and why it is so important and vital to add traditional Senegalese decorations in my product. It was also important to create a relationship between the craftsman and manufacturers with my product. Explaining the environmental impacts that my product would produce from the beginning of its creation to the end of its life was also necessary. Because I want this product to be accessible for the majority of the villagers in Senegal, I also created a business model explaining and justifying the prices of the product and how I would be able to finance the whole project. I can conclude that my product does satisfy the needs of my users and does solve most of the problems explained at the beginning of this project. While creating this adaptable furniture, I tried to create a product that would be modern, functional, and incorporate traditional aspects from Senegal. While it is true that some parts could be improved for a better user experience, overall, I could say that my hypothesis has been proved to be correct. 2 ADABTABLE FURNITURE FOR VILLAGES IN SENEGAL HALIMATOU M’BALLO DIAO ABSTRACTE La majoria de les cases i habitacions dels pobles del Senegal manquen d'espai, ja que la majoria de les habitacions són utilitzades per més d'una persona. I com que no hi ha un espai que s’utilitzi específicament com a sala d'estar, les habitacions també funcionen com a tal. Per això, els propietaris d'aquestes habitacions no tenen prou espai per a emmagatzemar totes les seves pertinences i tenir tots els mobles que necessiten. Aquest projecte pretén crear un producte que funcioni com a mobiliari adaptable per a les persones, en la seva majoria dones, i els seus fills, que viuen als pobles del Senegal. Podem definir mobles adaptables com objectes que es poden moure fàcilment, ajustar-se i canviar, segons la situació. Per tant, podem resoldre el problema de la falta d'espai al mateix temps que es mostren les tradicions del Senegal i les habilitats dels artesans i fabricants d'aquest país. També és important que els productes es produeixin de manera sostenible i humana. Per tant, podem pagar salaris justos als treballadors i crear un impacte ambiental mínim. Per provar la hipòtesi que els habitants del Senegal realment necessiten el nostre producte, vaig fer un estudi inicial, analitzant el lloc i l'usuari objectiu, juntament amb un estudi amb casos similars en altres països i productes similars que ja existeixen en el mercat. Després d'aquest pas, i amb la informació recopilada, vaig definir quines són les parts que tindran els nostres mobles i com han d'interaccionar cadascun amb l'altre. En aquest projecte també havia de justificar diferents aspectes com els materials que hem triat i l'ornamentació en les diferents parts del nostre producte i per què és tan important i vital afegir decoracions tradicionals senegaleses en el producte. També era important crear una relació entre els artesans i els fabricants amb el nostre producte. També era vital explicar els impactes ambientals que el nostre producte produiria des del principi de la seva creació fins al final de la seva vida. Ja que volia que aquest producte fos accessible per a la majoria dels habitants del Senegal, també s’ha creat un model empresarial que explica i justifica els preus del producte i com podríem finançar tot el projecte. Podem concloure que el nostre producte satisfà la necessitat dels nostres usuaris i resol la majoria dels problemes esmentats al principi d’aquest projecte. Mentre es va crear aquest mobiliari adaptable, es va tractar de crear un producte modern, funcional i que incorporés aspectes tradicionals del Senegal. Encara que és cert que algunes parts podrien millorar-se per a una millor experiència d'usuari, en general, podríem dir que la nostra hipòtesi ha estat correcta. 3 ADABTABLE FURNITURE FOR VILLAGES IN SENEGAL HALIMATOU M’BALLO DIAO Home /həʊm/ The place where one lives permanently, especially as a member of a family or household. “A house is made of bricks and beams.

CHAPTER 1: THE PROJECT 9 ADABTABLE FURNITURE FOR VILLAGES IN SENEGAL HALIMATOU M’BALLO DIAO 1.1. INTRODUCTION Being raised in two different cultures, the Spanish and the Senegalese, has made me realize that there are so many different ways on how a person can live, and a lot of them are beautiful in their own way. When we think about a house, we probably think about an apartment or a house with more than one floor with different rooms, each one created for one specific purpose. A living room to socialize with other individuals and eat meals. A couple of rooms to sleep in, a bathroom to clean ourselves, a kitchen to cook, an office space to study. Even though we are used to seeing this type of house in the northern countries like in Europe and America, these are not the only types of houses we can find. And the villages of Senegal are one of them. While traveling there in 2011 and 2020 I saw that the concept of the house was totally different for them. While it is easy to find all the furniture that we want and need for all the rooms in our homes here, in the villages of Senegal, like many other villages around the world, don’t have the same luck. The houses tend to be smaller and villagers don’t have the means to afford all the furniture that they need.

    A Tale of Two Republics

    A Tale of Two Republics: Why Liberalism Succeeded in America but Faltered in Brazil Matthew Braz Honors 490: Senior Honors Seminar Professor Blais May 1, 2019 Braz1 The history of human civilization in the Western Hemisphere begins in when hunter gathers first stepped foot onto North America, and continued their march south to the tip of Patagonia. In a land diverse in geography and people, these human tribes would form new societies vying for resources to become the dominant power. And of all societies to flourish, the Mesoamerican civilizations including the Olmec and later the Aztec would rise as the most powerful empire in North America. South of Panama, the Inca would establish an empire in the Andes Mountains as the dominant power of South America. Yet the powerful Aztecs warriors and the high Incan forts would not withstand the guns nor devastating germs of European colonizers who would replace these native empires as the dominant power. Now it was the empires of Europe who were the true superpowers of the Western Hemisphere, establishing political, cultural, and economic control both continents. European colonialism would reshape the Western Hemisphere into a new world born from the ashes of Native People. Their former lands were fenced for European colonizers, of men and women who sought wealth that this new world provided. That wealth needed extraction, and so millions of enslaved people were chained and shipped from Africa towards the horrors of chattel slavery. The combination of these different people and cultures reshaped the Western Hemisphere, and the result of this clash of cultures is still evident today 527 years after Columbus arrived in Hispaniola.

    Bernardo De Brito: a Misunderstood Portuguese Chronicler

    Bernardo de Brito: A Misunderstood Portuguese Chronicler Matthias Gloël1 Abstract This article on Bernardo de Brito seeks to analyze his historiographical work with the aim of refuting the traditional conclusion that he was opposed to the Habsburg kings ruling Portugal. I first describe the very close relationship Brito had with the court. Following this, I focus mainly on the four aspects of his work: the mythical population of the Iberian Peninsula, the ancient Spanish history, the splitting of the Portuguese County from the Leonese kingdom, and the Portuguese crisis of succession from 1383 to 1385, which ended with the enthronement of the Avis dynasty. Keywords Early Modern History, Portuguese chronicles, Bernardo de Brito, Portuguese History, Iberian Union Resumo Este artigo sobre Bernardo de Brito tem o objetivo de analisar a sua obra historiográfica para recusar a conclusão tradicional que se encontrava em oposição aos reis portugueses da casa de Habsburgo. Primeiro, descrevemos a relação próxima que Brito tinha com a corte. Depois, enfocamo-nos principalmente em quatro aspetos da sua obra: a população mítica da Península Ibérica, a história espanhola antiga, a separação do condado de Portugal do reino de Leão e a crise sucessória portuguesa de 1383 a 1385, que terminou com a entronização da dinastia de Avis.

    Change of Focus—4 david murphy AN AFRICAN BRECHT The Cinema of Ousmane Sembene usmane Sembene, unruly progenitor of the new African cinema, was born in 1923 in the sleepy provincial port Oof Ziguinchor, Casamance, the southernmost province of French-run Senegal. His background was Muslim, Wolof- speaking, proletarian—his father a fisherman, who had left his ancestral village near Dakar for the south; prone to seasickness, Ousmane showed little aptitude for the family trade. It was a turbulent childhood. His par- ents split up early, and the boy—strong-minded and full of energy—was bundled from one set of relatives to another, ending up with his moth- er’s brother, Abdou Ramane Diop. A devout rural schoolteacher, Diop was an important influence, introducing Ousmane to the world of books and encouraging his questions. This favourite uncle died when Sembene was just thirteen. He moved to Dakar, staying with other relations, and enrolled for the certificat d’études, passport for clerical jobs open to Africans. But wilful and irreverent, Sembene was never the sort for the colonial administration. He was expelled from school, allegedly for raising his hand against a teacher, and ran through a series of manual jobs—mechanic, stonemason. His spare time was spent at the movies, or hanging out with friends in the central marketplace in Dakar, where the griots or gewels, the storytellers, spun their tales. Gewels ranked low in the Wolof caste hierarchy, but had traditional licence to depict and comment on all ranks, from king to beggar; the best had mastered the insights of xamxam, historical and new left review 16 july aug 2002 115 116 nlr 16 social knowledge—a formative influence in Sembene’s later work, as were the structuring tensions of African trickster stories: the narrative quest, the reversal of fortunes, the springing traps of power relations.1 Sembene was seventeen when Senegal’s colonial masters capitulated to Hitler, and was witness to the seamless reincarnation of Governor- General Boisson’s administration as an outpost of Vichy.

  • The Columbian Exchange

    The Columbian Exchange

    Portuguese and Spanish Overseas Expansion, 1450-1600 The rise of the New Monarchies led directly to European overseas expansion. The first phase (1450-1600) was dominated by Portugal and Spain. For various reasons, England and France lagged behind. It wasn’t until after 1600 that they, along with the Dutch, also established overseas trade routes and colonies. In this reading we will focus on the Portuguese and Spanish. The first question we must ask is why, after remaining on their own continent throughout the 1000-year-long medieval period (except, perhaps, for the Crusades to the Holy Land) did Europeans begin sailing to Africa, the Americas, and Asia in the 15th century? The answer lies in the desire of the New Monarchies to gain greater wealth and power. Motives for Overseas Exploration The Economic Motive The primary motive for overseas exploration was for the New Monarchies to increase their power by acquiring new sources of wealth. Having centralized their governments at the expense of the feudal nobility and Church, the New Monarchies sought other ways besides internal taxation to increase the wealth and power of their states. As we saw in the previous reading, France and Spain sought to dominate the divided Italian states – much to the dismay of Machiavelli. Besides war, marriage was also used to increase state power. Spain’s influence in Europe grew enormously with the succession of Ferdinand and Isabella’s grandson, Charles Habsburg to the throne of Spain as Charles V. Ruling both Spain and the Holy Roman Empire, the Habsburg dynasty was Europe’s most powerful.

    Portuguese History Storyboard

    Portuguese history storyboard Cláudia Martins [email protected] Instituto Politécnico de Bragança Escola Superior de Educação Abstract This paper intends to present relevant facts about the Portuguese culture and history, so as to enable a better understanding of who the Portuguese are and provide an overall perspective of the course of history in this westernmost part of Europe. Although the choice of historical facts was subjective by nature, it is believed it achieves the aim of presenting information in a critical but blithesome way, with a view to also deconstructing national stereotypes, such as that Portuguese people are always late or are crazy about football.
