Abstract

This research studies the design process involved in the development of proposals guided by the concepts of design for experience. It aims elaborate possible boardings on the relation between subject and interactive object, that is, that one increased with a digital instance for data processing. Such boardings would be able to consist in the process of design as projective positions to designer. Theoretical and practical developments are allied to reach the aims of this research. The theoretical inquiry, on one hand, contextualizes and supplies relevant concepts to be considered in the relation between the subject and the interactive object. From the worked concepts, a reading is carried through processes of design that explore this condition of objects. The practice makes it possible to apply the raised theoretical considerations, allowing the clarification of doubts and uncertainties on the process. The association of practice theory constitutes a basic procedure for the construction of the knowledge on this subject. (AU)
