| Abstract | |
The thesis aims to articulate nomadism and sustainability through design. The hypothesis aims to confirm that nomadism and sustainability are closely related and tries to understand how designer can incorporate these principles in work process. It reflects about sustainability issues and nomadic behavior, accoding to the theoretical referencial of the contributions of authors such as Bernard Rudofsky, Ezio Manzini, Felix Guatari, Gilles Deleuze, Michel Maffesoli, Paul Zumthor, Robert Kronenburg, Teshome Gabriel, Victor Papanek amongst others, under the optics of design. The thesis includes results of interviews, carried through in Brazil and abroad, with specialists and architects who work and experience the thematic searched. It has a survey to identify and to analyze design solutions to inhabit a world where the necessity for dislocation has become more and more recurrent. The proposals for mobile and adaptable dwellings go beyond usual categories, therefore, design without borders crosses the limits between architecture and design to hybrid forms that wanders between buildingvehicles; furnituretools; garmentequipment. The five chapters are divided by theme in categories To go away; To recognize the place, To know the others; To catch resources; To define duration; To go back providing a range of keys for interpretation of the nomadic journey. The goal of the thesis is to generate innovative design directions that consider the contemporaries forms of nomadic life, respecting the environmental requirements. These design directions are presented in the conclusion, as suggestions for designers. (AU) | |
