It is clear on people’s minds that we are part of a system, and that everything is integrated. News travel across the world in seconds, distances do not exist anymore, cultures are mixed and the world has been increasingly more holistic. Within this scenario, our demands and expectations regarding designers also are changing. In the past, we did hope that designers would bring modern and innovative products, capable of connecting us with the future. Today the needs go beyond. The roots are coming back with humanistic values, the contact with others and the social life. There is a growing concern about preserving nature, culture and traditions. This is what matters today. Therefore, it is not expected that designers solely design technological and innovative objects. Rather, it is required of them to project systems capable of connecting people, valuing culture, traditions, and welfare. With that being said, comes the question: We demand this posture from designers, but are we preparing them for this? We await designers to have a holistic posture, while we give them a linear, Cartesian education, divided in modules and grades. Disciplines award higher value to issues like technology and economics, which are constantly changing, instead of human and social issues. Thus, the focus of the present work lies on didactics. Bringing these matters up to reflection, this study discusses further than the “what” has been taught: the “how” it has been taught. The present work was performed in two parts, divided into a desk research and a field research. In the desk research, a study was conducted regarding didactic theories with emphasis on the constructivist approach. Then, a survey was carried out related to the development of design methodologies from the twentieth century to the present day, with emphasis in design thinking and systemic thinking development. In sequence, this study discussed the design education around the world. To this end, a number of cases presenting a differential in design education were analyzed. In the desk research, the contextualization of the problem was addressed, a study of Brazil in relation to its general characteristics and its characteristics related to design and design education, with focus on the Design School from UEMG. In the field research, a case study was realized at the Design School of UEMG (Brazil), aiming to verify the feasibility of application of new approaches and techniques researched and to raise features that should be adapted to the local context. At the end, a set of tools and approaches were presented considering that they can be employed in the university to induce students and professors to a new posture, leading to a new teaching model, more open, fluid and dynamic, prioritizing humanistic values in favor of the man, the community and the environment. In this way, it is hoped that the new professionals are able to have a contextualized and systemic performance, enhancing local identity, preserving resources, culture and still unveiling new possibilities of action for new designers.

  • 3 Visões E Movimentos De Um Menino Do Cerrado 3.1
    122 3 VISÕES E MOVIMENTOS DE UM MENINO DO CERRADO Eu preparo uma canção que faça acordar os homens e adormecer as crianças Carlos Drummond de Andrade 3.1 Crescer numa cidade cenário – Brasília José Roger é filho caçula, nasceu em 1965, foi criado em Brasília. Seus pais, no início da década de 1960 moravam no Rio de Janeiro. Com a mudança da capital do Rio de Janeiro para o planalto central, eles, como tantos outros brasileiros e funcionários públicos, optaram por se transferir para a recém-inaugurada capital federal com a perspectiva de tentar novas ocupações de trabalho, bem como obter ascensão profissional e social. Em homenagem ao médico que conseguiu realizar o parto difícil do menino, a mãe pagou sua promessa ao incorporar José a seu nome de batismo. Roger tem um casal de irmãos, e apenas a irmã mais velha é carioca. Seu pai e sua mãe, naturais de Minas Gerais e Sergipe, respectivamente, já trabalhavam na cidade do Rio de Janeiro quando resolveram tentar a sorte em Brasília. O pai era comerciário, trabalhava na Casa Arthur, e só depois da transferência para a nova capital tornou-se funcionário dos Correios. Sua mãe, apesar de formada em matemática, trabalhava como revisora na Câmara dos Deputados, no Senado Federal e depois no Ministério da Justiça. Nas lembranças do menino Roger está, por exemplo, a vida cotidiana numa cidade planejada - monumento das ideias modernistas -, como também as viagens feitas nas férias escolares, quando sua família se deslocava de carro de Brasília para outros estados do país. As férias destinavam-se a rever os parentes que moravam em Minas Gerais, Rio de Janeiro e Sergipe.

  • Aleijadinho Notes
    Aleijadinho (1738-1814) 1738 Aleijadinho ("Little Cripple;" aleijado > Portuguese = cripple) is the professional name by which Antônio Francisco Lisboa was born in Vila Rica (later changed to Ouro Preto, "dark gold") in the state of Minas Gerais (General Mines), Brazil. To locate Ouro Preto on a map of Brazil, click here: => Brazil map. His father was a Portuguese carpenter and architect, Manoel Francisco Lisboa. His mother, Izabel, was a black slave, who was given her freedom at the birth of her son, little Aleijadinho. 1738-1765 The boy suffered a terrible disease in childhood (Portuguese: zamparina), which caused his limbs to be atrophied throughout his entire life. Due to this handicap, his slaves (Maurício, Agostinho, Januário) held the tools he used to create his sculptures. His education consisted in music, Latin, reading, writing, design, and architecture. 1766 The Order of St. Francis of Assisi hired him to build the church of São Francisco de Assis. This church was his masterpiece, and it was built in the baroque-rococo style. 1777 His disease (leprosy?) caused him to lose the use of both hands. When he continued working and sculpting despite this terrible disability, especially for a sculptor, he was given the nickname of Aleijadinho 1777-1812 Rich patrons throughout the state of Minas Gerais awarded him with many commissions. His best works dates from this period. Among them are Carmelite churches in Sabará and Ouro Preto, the façade of São Francisco de Assis da Penitência in Ouro Preto, the sanctuary of Bom Jesus de Matozinhos (also in the state of Minas Gerais).
