Charles e Ray Eames: o casamento entre a razão e emoção no design

The rationalism appears as a philosophical current whose mental process and logic and evidenced, with the main characteristic of modern thought the method, the Bauhaus represents for the design the way the industry undressed the ornaments seeking the ideal of form and function. In a current contemporary design the emotional recovery in addition to the functions that an object can have, aesthetic, practical and symbolic, also the emotional identification, making review the methods. This article makes a relation of this context with the brilliantly that the couple Charles and Ray Eames, have created a method quite emotional for the creation of design, starting with the invention of the plywood and then with access to various technologies resulting from post-war, they created a very interesting process of building design combining art technique, producing seats that are ageless, found easily in the contemporary world.

Processo de avaliação de uma disciplina de Design de Interiores

This study aims to present the strategies and assumptions used to evaluate a class entitled Design Furniture seeking their improvement and adapting the expectations of the profession of Interior Design Technologist. Initially the study focused on the contexts of Design Teaching and Higher Education in Brazil, with the purpose of adequacy of theory with practice. The method of continuous evaluation was used over two semesters with two classes. This study presents and discusses the data of one of the groups. This evaluation method helped in adequacy of teaching regarding the methodology, content and expectations of students and teacher. As a result, furniture were produced based on the type of evaluation chosen by the student, showing academic progress.

A sewage sludge co-composting process using respirometric monitoring method in hermetic rotary reactor

This paper has the objective of monitoring the biological activity of composting process of sewage sludge, sugarcane bagasse and ground coffee in a hermetic rotary reactor using the respirometric method in laboratory scale, in order to obtain parameters and system design for large scale projects. Another particularity of this study is the use of a hermetic reactor with gas purging cycles. Purging was performed when the percentage of oxygen reached less than 5%, thus eliminating the gaseous mixture (with elevated CO2 ratio) and the introduction of environmental air with around 21% of O2, successively until the compost was stabilized. The average purge intervals obtained were 29 h and 2 min with reactor rotation frequency of 15 min. The time of the compost stabilization was optimized in 60% if compared to the 90 days in the traditional method. The results obtained can be used to design the process in industrial scale using a simple O2 gas analyzer.

Metodologias de Inovação: Soluções da TRIZ aplicadas em um ambiente design thinking

This work discusses the theories of TRIZ and Design Thinking, as well as the association of the two theories by a tool for the application of TRIZ in a Design Thinking environment. This work proposes the association of the theories by an easy and systematic method constituted by a step by step process. The objective of this work is to create a method that facilitates the application of the two innovation theories helping the inventors to develop new products without the necessity of being creative people. By the end of the work is shown the research case accomplished as an empirical analysis of this tool that can be a fast and efficient method to solve inventive problems focused in the expectations and necessities of the clients
