Abstract(s)
O presente relatório de projecto enquadra-se na discussão acerca da posição do ser humano
em relação ao ambiente natural, do poder que o Homem exerce e, consequentemente, da
responsabilidade que tem sobre o ambiente.
Com este relatório pretende-se contribuir para a objectivação e o questionamento do
actual paradigma de negligência ambiental, baseado num antropocentrismo exagerado e
responsável pelo status quo em que se vive actualmente. O problema reside na maneira
como o ser humano interpreta o mundo e o seu lugar nele, devendo-se levar em conta que
esta é a única espécie capaz de promover sensíveis, apreciáveis e consequentes alterações
no ambiente.
O projecto relatado pretende juntamente com o relatório contribuir para consciencializar e
alertar o leitor para estratégias manipuladoras comerciais e, ou, sociais, tal como a
Obsolescência Programada, cujo objectivo primordial é o lucro crescente, sustentado num
utópico crescimento económico constante. Pretende-se também compreender de que
forma podemos tirar o melhor partido de produtos descartados (maioritariamente produtos
imbuídos de obsolescência programada), para desenvolver de modo sustentável novos
equipamentos e, ou, produtos. Procura-se assim explorar novos conceitos de produto,
culturalmente relevantes, esteticamente válidos e contribuindo para alcançar objectivos
educacionais. Para isso, são aprofundadas as ramificações e interpretações associadas ao
biodesign e são explorados conceitos ecológicos de projecto.
Apresentam-se também as etapas percorridas ao longo do projecto final e, por último,
apresenta-se o resultado final alcançado e reflecte-se sobre este.
This report focuses on the discussion of the position of the human being relatively to the natural environment, the power that Man exercises, and consequently, the responsibility held on the environment. This work is therefore intended to contribute to the objectification and questioning of the current environmental negligence paradigm, based on an exaggerated anthropocentrism and responsible for the status quo in which we currently live. The problem lies in how human beings interpret the world and their place in it, one should take into account that this is the only species able to promote sensible and appreciable changes in the environment. The current report aims to raise awareness and alert the reader to commercial and manipulative strategies, and or social, such as Planned Obsolescence, whose primary goal is increasing profit, sustained in a constant utopian economic growth. It also aims to understand how we can make the best use of discarded products (mainly products imbued with the planned obsolescence), to develop in a sustainable manner new equipment, and, or, products. So we want to explore new product concepts, which are culturally relevant, aesthetically valid and that contribute to attain educational aims. To achieve these aims, the branches and interpretations associated to biodesign are tackled and ecological design concepts are explored. The steps taken throughout the final design proposal along with the final result achieved are presented, as well as a reflection on this.
