Pioneiros do design brasileiro no projeto de automóveis

Não se questiona que o design seja um saber naturalmente multidisciplinar. Os projetos da indústria automobilística ilustram esse ponto magistralmente: do ato de inventar à engenharia da produção; do design de exteriores aos interiores; das autopeças às diversas tintas. Projetos desenvolvidos em engenharia simultânea, produzidos em diversos países do mundo e montados onde quer que se mostre mais rentável. A moderna indústria automobilística mostra-se, nesse sentido, global. Mas como harmonizar os gostos e as legislações locais a essa estrutura produtiva internacional? Esta dissertação ilustra alguns aspectos da estratégia de projetos em design automobilístico tomando como base a experiência brasileira. Foram entrevistados os mais destacados designers brasileiros de automóveis dos pioneiros aos mais importantes profissionais contemporâneos. Embora as estratégias das empresas sejam diversas fato que impede uma única conclusão -, esta dissertação lança luzes sobre os desafios do desenvolvimento de projetos automobilísticos onde o projeto é global mas as vendas são locais.
