Systems & Design: Beyond Processes and Thinking

Este congreso busca nuevas relaciones entre los sistemas y las interacciones de diseño, con el fin de definir, en la medida de lo posible, cuáles son las consecuencias sociales de esta simbiosis. Cómo se transforma la sociedad a través de sus diversas dimensiones: cultural, económico/empresarial, la planificación espacial y la tecnológica; que aborda, desde una perspectiva de sistemas, proporcionando modelos globales con múltiples interconexiones en lo que podemos definir como la nube o el conocimiento del cerebro colectivo.

¿Qué hay más allá del proceso de diseño y el conocimiento actual? ¿Y cómo interviene el diseño diferencialmente evidente y la creación de nuevos actores y áreas de intervención?

Aclarar estas y otras cuestiones están destinadas a ser el foco de este congreso.

O Design Sistêmico como método de inovação aplicado a fornos tradicionais de cerâmica vermelha no Amazonas - Brasil
(Editorial Universitat Politècnica de València, 2016-10-27) Cordeiro Mota, Sheila; Mazarelo Maciel Pacheco, Karla; Hernandis Ortuño, Bernabé; Departamento de Ingeniería Gráfica; Escuela Técnica Superior de Ingeniería Aeroespacial y Diseño Industrial; Conselho Nacional de Desenvolvimento Científico e Tecnológico, Brasil
[EN] This work analyses some traditional brick kilns cooking systems, and proposes a new systemic configuration. Upon evaluation of the production of ceramic blocks, we took the burning process in traditional ovens as the research focus, taking into account economic and social issues of the Brazilian Amazon. This research aims to develop a new system, that can be consireded both eco-efficient and sustainable. By putting together what is technically feasible in the area of clean technologies, what is culturally desirable for products without harming the users of their systems, we respect the social relations of production involved in the process. Based on data collected from technical visits in the ceramic companies of the Iranduba region, as well as the results of interviews with the expertise of the national industry, we detected other aspects affecting the quality of the ceramic firing process. In general, the stoves use inefficient burning of wood and other energy inputs, yielding a number of drawbacks that compromise the productive and economic performance, causing environmental damage, particularly when it occurs in small and medium enterprises. In this case study, the interpretation of the collected data is characterized by a non-rigid scheme, considering that the involved elements make conceptual blocks aimed at generating the requirements and parameters considered essential to design a new ceramic firing system. To realize the needs and objectives of the project, we made use of the concurrent model design, by addressing the formal, ergonomic and functional system aspects, and incorporating the social, economic, technological and environmental contexts.

Diseño inmaterial - Hacia la desmaterialización y digitalización de productos y servicios como herramienta de sostenibilidad
(Editorial Universitat Politècnica de València, 2016-10-27) Rivera Pedroza, Julio César; Hernandis Ortuño, Bernabé; Departamento de Ingeniería Gráfica; Escuela Técnica Superior de Ingeniería Aeroespacial y Diseño Industrial
[EN] The environmental crisis is also a behavioral issue, and not one simply of technology, production, and volume. Thus, with the evolution and advances in technology, processes and production methods for development of new products, it is necessary to analyze the new role of design in today´s society. The proposed aim of this paper is to describe the relationship between dematerialization and digitalization (or informationalization) of products and services into sustainability. The research is carried out from a case study with a qualitative approach and an analyticaldescriptive emphasis, how factors such as technological advances along with behavior and emotions of users influence the configuration of products and services and its relationship to sustainability. It is important to stress to what extent the "know how" from the Designer can feel threatened with the appearance of increasingly frequent dematerialized and/or digitalized products and services. And in this sense, it might be stated that rather than a threat, it could be an opportunity to evolve, considering systemic approaches from a multi-objective, multidimensional and multidisciplinary perspective. This analysis could provide clues to field of knowledge taking into account the immaterial context, to develop dematerialized and/or digitalized products and services committed with a more sustainable society.

Efecto de las variables de la gestión de diseño en el producto terminado
(Editorial Universitat Politècnica de València, 2016-10-27) Goiran, Andres
[EN] The incorporation of direct sowing methods instead of traditional tillage, increasing the value of grains, the growing demand for protein in the world, and changes in economic policies pushed the agricultural sector to strong production growth, the direct consequence was that over recent years in the Argentine agricultural sector increased plantings and yields in agricultural production, this pushed the demand for agricultural machinery, reborn so many manufacturers dragging the need for new designs that will optimize the work of agricultural mechanization, with a single goal: cut costs and times. Applying the concepts of General Systems Theory we think that in the design process that develops in an agroindustrial SME different variables interact whose origin can be internal or external, this undoubtedly influences the commercial success of the organization, foundation enough to analyze and understand. As a distinctive feature of it we can say that its identity depends on the type of organization, the product produced, the technological level, the market and history and idiosyncrasies of the company and its environment. In this work in the first instance it will be elucidated what are the variables of the process mentioned an agribusiness small and medium industry of the Central Region of Argentina also their impact on the finished product so they were related through a retrospective analysis with the non-conformities that emerged in the warranty period of a group chosen for this purpose machines, proving that these directly influence but to varying degrees nonconformity and perceived reliability of the customer, being able to demonstrate that communication and professional management are the most influential variables, originating as a result two realities: on the one hand the need for technological evolution incorporating new technologies in information management such as integrated systems and on the other the need to professionalize the process , claiming this new training programs adapted to the reality in the field.

Designing the mesoscopic approach of an autonomous linear dynamical system by a quantum formulation
(Editorial Universitat Politècnica de València, 2016-10-27) Micó, Joan C.; Departamento de Matemática Aplicada; Instituto Universitario de Matemática Multidisciplinar; Escuela Técnica Superior de Ingeniería Industrial
[EN] This paper is an attempt to translate the quantum formulation from physics to general systems modelled by dynamical systems. Their quantum formulation provides a mesoscopic approach due to the stochastic nature of quantum theory. A quantum formulation needs a previous Hamiltonian. A first order Hamiltonian was provided in past works by following Dirac’s generalized dynamics. The corresponding quantum approach, given by a first order Schrodinger equation, was provided from the Hamiltonian found, by applying the corresponding quantization rules. The split of the wave function in its amplitude and phase provides the probability conservation law for the square amplitude and the HamiltonJacobi equation for the phase. However, this last equation lacks the stochastic term, in opposition to the stochastic term appearing for the current Schrodinger equation corresponding to the physics laws. Thus, the approach presented in past works is unsuitable to obtain a mesoscopic approach for dynamical systems. The hypothesis here presented considers the existence of a second order Hamiltonian from the base that the physics laws can be defined with a similar structure. The existence of a Hamiltonian like this is proved to be always possible for the case of an autonomous linear dynamical system. In the beginning the Schrodinger equation is written for this case, as well as its timeindependent version. This case does present a mesoscopic approach, which is developed and its stochastic term is stressed. The general solution of the Schrodinger equation is found and two application cases are presented. In the conclusions section some ways are sketched about how to generalize the formalism to nonlinear dynamical systems.

Projetar a Forma: uma proposta de ferramenta metodológica para o direcionamento da sintaxe visual no design de moda
(Editorial Universitat Politècnica de València, 2016-10-27) Sanches, Maria; Hernandis Ortuño, Bernabé; Moreira Martins, Sergio; Departamento de Ingeniería Gráfica; Escuela Técnica Superior de Ingeniería Aeroespacial y Diseño Industrial
[EN] This article presents a part of a PhD research developed in partnership between the Universidade de São Paulo, Universitat Politècnica de València and Universidade Estadual de Londrina. It approaches the sphere of project teaching in undergraduate fashion design courses, with an emphasis on research of methodologies developed to manage the design process, proposing facilitating strategies of visual syntax for the configuration of fashion clothing artifacts. To achieve this, It was applied a part of the exploratory bibliographical and documental research, which examines the interaction system built between clothing and user to demonstrate that the relations established in the body-artifact-environment system are distributed on factors of physical adaptation, individual expression and social representation. Thus, it situates the fashion clothing as a field of sensory experiences that produces meanings and emphasizes the aesthetic and symbolic dimension as an essential requirement in the planning of user experience in this type of product. Such perspective reinforces the relevance of methodological tools which propitiate the synthesis of expressive codes in order to guide the formal composition with regard to the links between the materials and informational dimensions of the designed artifact once the information (content) is transmitted by the syntax of the elements of configuration (form). Upon this platform, this article reports the theoretical basis, the proposition and application of a tool aimed to generate formal concepts in the project practices of fashion design. The explanation integrates fundaments of fashion design, visual thinking and imagery synthesis techniques to examine field assessments and discuss the effectiveness of this tool. The results reinforce the hypothesis that the combination of methods that explore the visual thinking can help students in the perception of the different variables that influence the formal composition of a product and therefore the synthesis of syntactic-semantic relations to boost the formal generation

(Editorial Universitat Politècnica de València, 2016-10-27) Agudo Vicente, Begoña; Hernandis Ortuño, Bernabé; Agustín-Fonfría, Miguel-Ángel; Esnal Angulo, Iñaki; Departamento de Ingeniería Gráfica; Escuela Técnica Superior de Ingeniería Aeroespacial y Diseño Industrial
[EN] It is intended to determine importance degree of the factors to be considered in the design of a product, from the considerations set out by both the consumer and designer perspective. By applying the method of Principal Component Analysis at the study of a case, we analyzed the desirable attributes for a product, in the opinion of experts and consumers. It is checked after the application of the method the existence of subsystems that explain the need to consider certain attributes (variables of the system), taking into account their degree of participation and affinity differentiated subsystems, by grouping them in "n" factors relating to fundamental components commonly used in product design. The method aims to establish design traceability, determining the main constructs on the function, ergonomics and form of the products, all aimed at improving the conceptual definition of the product, always seeking in regard to knowledge management, improvement in the application of methods, techniques and procedures in order to optimize the design and / or redesign of industrial products.

Estrategias colaborativas y open-source para la generación de sistemas productivos entre diseñadores y productores
(Editorial Universitat Politècnica de València, 2016-10-27) Gajardo Valdés, Rodrigo; Gerea Petculescu, Carmen; Mollenhauer Gajardo, Katherine
[EN] In this paper, we explore the trend of return of the crafts, the emergence of new designer brands and local manufacturing derived from different disciplines and a consumer increasingly demanding in terms of product traceability and narrative. However, this movement of makers with local producers has his own problems, as the lack of consistent production systems for local economies. Therefore, the sustainability of these projects and initiatives might be in danger. The collaboration between artisans or producers and designers has been the subject of work in various government and university initiatives. Consequently, there is a number of projects that have used different models of collaboration between these actors from a centralized perspective, to a closed model, or even an opened and experimental one. Models of interaction between the actors, their roles, results and sustainability of these projects will be established as the main field of study. The aim of this paper is to analyze the different models of collaboration observes in three case studies of initiatives that have connected designers and artisans or producers. The methodology used for comparative analysis is the study of multiple case. The first two -Laboratory Design Colombia and Rush Weaving of Taiwanwere chosen for being documented and emblematic cases in the literature. The third -SaberHacer of Chile- is a work in progress project of one of the authors of this article. This article aims to identify those elements in collaborative models that might impact the sustainability of the projects studied and could be set as inputs for the development and systematization of new work models as well as new scenarios that generate new research in this field of study.

Systems and Design. Intangibles para el proceso de diseño en el marco de la sociedad del conocimiento
(Editorial Universitat Politècnica de València, 2016-10-27) Matovelle Villamar, Ruth; Lecuona López, Manuel Ramón
[EN] Nowadays we live in what is called the "knowledge society" which has generated great transformations in business activity. Companies have gone from a material based production system, to a knowledge based productive system, where creative and information related factors are contributing increasingly to the wealth building of businesses. In this context, the objective of this article is to identify new forms of knowledge that can transform this business dimension and its relationship to the intangible components, such treatment becomes an important input in the design process. For its development, we chose a descriptive research of existing literature, allowing to create a state of the art in order to know what aspects have been investigated and which remain unknown. It became evident that the biggest challenge for companies is proper knowledge management, thereby achieve a competitive position and ensure its survival. The design discipline plays a starring role in achieving this objective, therefore, under a systemic, performs the transformative role of new strategies, allowing him to identify and improve management of business intangibles, with the clear intention to innovate and optimize the design of the tangible.

O uso do dispositivo ID-Think no compartilhamento de conhecimento
(Editorial Universitat Politècnica de València, 2016-10-27) Perfetto-Demarchi, Ana; Fornasier, Cleuza; Hernandis Ortuño, Bernabé; Rosales Marquina, Elingth; Departamento de Ingeniería Gráfica; Escuela Técnica Superior de Ingeniería Aeroespacial y Diseño Industrial
[EN] Abstract Considering that the great advantage of an organization today is the knowledge it has, and how it manages this knowledge, this article reports the application of the IDThink device in a fashion organization's manufacturing sector for its validation. This device applies knowledge management through the skills and attitudes of the design thinker. The device shown here is to assist the process of innovation in organizations by using some design thinkers skills in the knowledge explicitation and externalization. To Brown (2009) design thinking begins with the skills that designers have learned over time as: To align the human being´s needs with the technological resources available in the organization; Intuition; The ability to recognize patterns; Build ideas that have both emotional significance and functional; The ability to question their surroundings and be empathetic and; The ability to express otherwise than in words or symbols. This last is one of the most important designer skills. The designer uses the drawing process also as a critical process, as discovery. He uses drawing as a means of materializing, imagination, or discovery of something that he cannot built in his mind, and as a mean of communication with others, facilitating collaboration on projects. The IDThink device is an external, temporary repository for ideas, with which the designer interacts, and this externalization supports the necessary dialogue that it has between the problem and the solution, which minimizes the cognitive stress when dealing with quantities and complexities of knowledge to be process internally. The identification of concepts and their positioned graphical representation facilitates decision-making, the sharing of knowledge of everyone involved in the organization management, and observation of systemic functioning of the company, focusing on indicators that it judged suitable. The use of visual codes, which will be available throughout the process, allows the team to navigate the process without losing their train of thought. Also allows us to observe the evolution of the environment and its influence in the organization to assist in corrective actions. The nature of the research was exploratory, with lineation by ex-post-fact, using a strategy of ethnography, through non-participant interviews and observation. After applying, the researchers understood the need to adapt the External System of the IDThink device so that it includes an amount of knowledge needed to the visualization of the organization's management and / or the development of new products

Aplicación de un modelo sistémico para el diseño conceptual de un asistente abdomino-intestinal
(Editorial Universitat Politècnica de València, 2016-10-27) Esnal Angulo, Iñaki; Hernandis Ortuño, Bernabé; Departamento de Ingeniería Gráfica; Escuela Técnica Superior de Ingeniería Aeroespacial y Diseño Industrial
[EN] This paper describes a research by the application of a systemic model oriented to the design of a product. This device works as abdominointestinal assistant allowing reduce chronic functional constipation in people due to the adoption of the squatting posture and specific toning exercises in its use. Research methodology consisted of the construction of a static simulation scenario by implementing a goal-directed model (Hernandis, 2003) in which system parameters and variables act as attributes/design variables. The identification of these variables was carried out by using exploratory research and qualitative analysisbased on of the various documentary sources. The works of S. Raad (1994) on the variation of the angle of puborectal muscle (responsible for continence) in different postural configurations of the patients and the usability test of I. Esnal and C. Serrano (2013) on the level of user satisfaction depending on the posture adopted, served to establish the main aims of the research. After identification and definition, the variables were classified into three main subsystems: functional subsystem, ergonomic subsystem and formal subsystem. Subsequently, volumes of use, surfaces of use and boundaries were established by their geometries. By the superposition of these geometries it was created a space of design in which we can represent the system under study. This provides tangibility to the system in the form of product concept. Another result we found is the theoretical framework of design. It provides an unique three-dimensional geometric space of design in which we can generate product concepts satisfying the aims set by the system and therefore, the design requirements.

Percepción de la confiabilidad de un producto agroindustrial
(Editorial Universitat Politècnica de València, 2016-10-27) Goiran, Andrés Roque
[EN] Machines working in agriculture and its component parts are predestined to fulfill the functions assigned under certain conditions of production and technical operation. The technical condition of the machine during operation changes, and change the limit nominal values of the parameters that characterize it. One way to characterize agricultural machinery produced, is applying the concept of systems, which according to the number of systems that conform and the degree of technological level of the same can define: High-tech products: tractors, harvesters; Medium-technology products: Drills, stocking stuffer grains, grain extractor; Low-tech products: simple machines observed a close relationship between reliability and technological characterization. High-tech products are more reliable than medium and low products for multiple reasons including design management, manufacturing processes, access to knowledge technology, level of turnover of the company source, business organization, product value, competition. The interest of this work is to deepen the mechanical concept of reliability, investigating how such perception of it in the user, as globalization concept where the mechanical concept is implicit; the problem from two perspectives: reliability as purchasing factor and reliability depending on the operation of the machine.

Termografia: ferramenta auxiliar na pesquisa de materiais e no design de produtos
(Editorial Universitat Politècnica de València, 2016-10-27) Silva, Júlio; Mira, Maria; Conselho Nacional de Desenvolvimento Científico e Tecnológico, Brasil
[EN] Thermography is a passive and contactless measuring procedure, which registers the temperature distribution along the surface of a material, constituting as a standing to thermal conductivity analysis, as well as a contribution to studies of the tactile perception. This equipment enables the designer to gather additional resources to the mapping procedure concerning the relation of perception, allowing an in-depth and inner exploration of the studied material. The device generates images from a color spectrum, expressing variations in temperature, and highlighting details that are not visible to the naked eye, allowing also the viewing of heat areas and the variations of heat emission along the surface of the object. Such data become differential and inductive to the design process. Considering the importance of thermography, this article focuses its studies to validate this instrument of data collection, which allows us to understand the perception from the user's interaction with polymers, identifying qualities inherent in each type of material and indicating new possibilities and usage alternatives. Plastics or polymers are not in themselves a single material entity, but they comprise many categories with specific qualities and properties, representing a peculiar class among the modalities of materials. Users resort the tactile interaction to assess these qualities. The mapping of this interaction through thermography can provide relevant data to designers in the development of products. For data collection was used a thermal camera Flir EX6 with focal plane array detector (FPA) and uncooled microbolometer with spectral range from 7.5 to 13 micrometers. For body samples were selected polymers PP, PMMA, polystyrene, PU, PVC and expanded rigid, PA and PC in size of 80 x 80mm and thicknesses ranging between 3 and 5mm. The variation in thickness is due to the industry standard. The study included 10 people, men and women, of several ages, in not-stratified sample. With this study, it is intended to confirm the thermography as an assistant tool for research, for better interpretation of thermal variables of polymers, and to determine both: the contact sensitivity to the conductivity of each material, and if the thermal conductivity factor alters the perception of its qualities by users.

El Diseño adaptado al entorno de la Industria Cultural y Creativa
(Editorial Universitat Politècnica de València, 2016-10-27) Santamaría, Jorge; Lecuona López, Manuel Ramón
[EN] Traditional development models are far from the reality of modern times and are limited to new possibilities for change; therefore, technologies and their uses should be more flexible processes leading to a proactive environment that goes hand in hand with members of the industry and their characteristics. The development of cultural and creative industries [ICC] should arise in fertile environments where policies, specialized professionals, access to technology, innovation, financing lines and the market are adequate. Conscious companies in their environment and their evolution are able to adapt to new scenarios, forms of production and new technologies to diversify their product lines and make more efficient process control, waste of resources and sustainability. It is therefore necessary to define the characteristics of a market vision and industry that is projected in the future, and where the design develop, coordinate and manage design projects applied to projects of cultural and creative character. The natural step in the industry to flexible models where interconnection across networks, communication between people and objects around us through the cloud, creates many possibilities for productivity and innovation to improve the quality of products or services and reduce spending resources and time; on the other hand, the consumer approach to the creative process makes possible a personalized approach to solutions to specific problems and greater satisfaction. The smaller companies can benefit from new business models where interaction with other manufacturing or service sectors can generate a large network of work adapted to segments and specific needs, then reconfigured and direct their production to other segments and public if warranted the changing market.

Interaction design of public electronics equipment: Approach to categorization systems and analysis model
(Editorial Universitat Politècnica de València, 2016-10-27) Barreto Fernandes, Francisco; Hernandis Ortuño, Bernabé; Departamento de Ingeniería Gráfica; Escuela Técnica Superior de Ingeniería Aeroespacial y Diseño Industrial
[EN] Technological development has changed the way users relate to products, they are no longer passive receivers of functions to interact with increasingly complex systems. This research addresses the problem of consumer interaction with public electronic technology products. There are several studies dealing with the disciplines that study the interaction between the user and the electronic product (Preece, 2005; Johnson-Laird, 1983; Helander, 1997, Sutcliffe, 1995; Norman, 1990; Moraes, 2001), making it possible to obtain knowledge about human beings, technology and the way they operate. This research aims to identify the areas of interaction design that involve the humanmachine system, in particular the disciplines that contribute to good usability. Six typologies are proposed that describe specific interface characteristics studied according to the model of complexity defined by Gomes Filho (2003). Exploratory research in Portugal identified twenty-six interactive systems. To characterize the public electronic systems, the study presents a structured analysis of the variables mentioned previously, in relation to both reliability and validity, as well as functionality. The results are compared with the literature and the implications discussed for the design of the User Interface System Model.

Development of the Happiness Index in a country
(Editorial Universitat Politècnica de València, 2016-10-27) Sanz García, María; Caselles, Antonio; Micó, Joan C.; Soler Fernández, David; Departamento de Matemática Aplicada; Instituto Universitario de Matemática Multidisciplinar; Escuela Técnica Superior de Ingeniería Industrial
[EN] In this paper, a Happiness Index is built through the Human Dignity Respect Index which is explained by Author (2014). The index is created using three main values: development, freedom and equality. But the equality is explained by solidarity, justice and peace. Then, the Happiness Index is developed with this five concepts. The aim of this paper is to obtain the minimum quantitative variables to explain these values as well as to obtain a generic formula, which allows measuring the happiness of a country/region. The term “generic” is introduced because this formula could be extrapolated to any country. The variables to obtain the Development Index are health (Life Expectancy at birth), income (Gross National Income per capita), education (Mean year of schooling and Expected years of schooling) and education quality (Primary school teachers trained to teach, Performance of 15-year-old students in reading, mathematics and science, Pupil–teacher ratio, primary school and Public expenditure on education). The Freedom Index is calculated through Net migration rate, International inbound tourists, Exports and imports and Research and development expenditure. In the case of Solidarity Index, the variables are At-risk-ofpoverty rate, Share of total population living in a dwelling with a leaking roof, damp walls, floors or foundation, or rot in window frames of floor and Material Deprivation rate. Prison population and Homicide rate are the variables which are used to obtain the Peace Index. Finally, the Justice Index is calculated with Police Officers, Professional Judges, Prison population and Crimes and violence. In this work the index is calculated for a selection of countries of European Union (Austria, Croatia, Cyprus, Czech, France, Iceland, Latvia, Lithuan, Portugal, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden and United Kingdom). This selection is produced because the data information is not available for all countries. The data information is obtained from EUROSTAT and the Human Development Report (UNDP, 2014). Finally, the Happiness Index has been compared with Overall Life Satisfaction Index from UNDP (2014).

Evaluación y estudio comparativo mediante modelos sistémicos de la implantación del sistema APPCC aplicado al sector agroalimentario
(Editorial Universitat Politècnica de València, 2016-10-27) Hernandis De Haro, Cristina; Esnal Angulo, Iñaki
[EN] Community Regulation (CE) No 852/2004 on the hygiene of foodstuffs provides that food businesses must comply with the mandatory requirements to develop, implement and maintain a permanent procedure based on the principles of HACCP (Hazrd Analysis Critical Control Point) system points. Currently, are implemented HACCP-based systems in most food businesses. However, in many cases the implementation of the system is not successful, being ineffective and not ensuring food security. The aim of this work is focused on demonstrating that the introduction of systemic models applied in optimizing hierarchical systems can improve the implementation and effectiveness of HACCP systems in the food sector and detect possible failures in the system, and therefore adequately ensure safe food production. To this end, has conducted a retrospective study of qualitative nature, in four industries belonging to the food sector, obtaining data on documents and records generated by the self-monitoring system itself, inspection reports derived from official control, microbiological analysis and internal verification. It has been determined in the case studied, which faults occur as application procedures, making records, interpretation of correctives to carry out measures and lack of monitoring of HACCPs identified, in which case it damages the productive interests of the food business and does not guarantee proper protection of the health of consumers. Finally, the evaluation of HACCP by systemic models detects failures of implementation in the industries concerned and provide a tool for both food business operators and for services official control, which helps to ensure a successful implementation of self-monitoring system .

Relações entre a educação para o futuro e o ensino do design na atualidade
(Editorial Universitat Politècnica de València, 2016-10-27) Moreira, Samantha; Sales, Rosemary; Barbosa, Paula; Aguilar, Maria
[EN] The UNESCO report, produced at the end of the last century, recommends that to meet a near future challenges, learning in this century should be supported by four pillars: learning to know, learning to do, learning to live with others and learning to be. For this new generation, whose daily life is marked by the information excess and possibilities diversity, it is imperative to develop multiple skills. Establishing a teaching and learning connection, educational action is in man's relations with the world, materializing itself in a number of skills and attitudes that causes intellectual, emotional and social changes in individuals. The educational process is the behavior that marks the most our day-to-day and one of the most common processes that guide our actions. The design, potentially transformative activity of projetual nature, acts in the setting of materiality to the individuals life’s ways and means. Dedicated to desirable future project, it is essential that the designer learn to see the world, places and things from the point of view of people who use products, processes or services designed by him. For properly identified design challenges, assertive planning and innovative solution, it is necessary that the designer knows, does, lives, and be a little of the other. It is consensus in academia that Design educative processes must invest in transdisciplinarity to a systemic view development, so that the student will be able to act competently in everyday or unusual situations. Between the ideal and the real, this article reflects about principles that guide the twenty-first century education and the guidelines that support the Design educational processes in Brazil today, searching for relationships between the data. In addition to the study presented by UNESCO, other sources were investigated to identify the approaches proposed to the education future and, more especially, in the brasilian Design undergraduate courses. In general, the results show gaps to be filled. It is considered necessary to review the educational processes, enhancing the knowledge and preparation of Design students to the future and, consequently, boost their role in promoting scientific, technological and social innovation in the present.

Emotional maps: neuro architecture and design applications
(Editorial Universitat Politècnica de València, 2016-10-27) Higuera Trujillo, Juan; Marín-Morales, Javier; Rojas, Juan; López Tarruella Maldonado, Juan; Departamento de Estadística e Investigación Operativa Aplicadas y Calidad; Instituto Universitario de Investigación en Tecnología Centrada en el Ser Humano; Escuela Técnica Superior de Ingeniería Industrial; Ministerio de Economía y Competitividad
[EN] Neurophysiological measurements have increased in Design and Architecture to emotionally assess products. Objective understanding of emotion states brings an enormous opportunity to explain how environments aspects affects persons. New methodology must be developed for a successfully approach between Neuroscience and design areas, in order to build this recent synergy. This paper contribute to profound concept of Emotional Maps (EM), which is a challenge for two reasons: the characterization of emotional states and the uncertain relation with maps illustrations. In order to create an EM, Heart Rate Variability (HRV) was used to detect certain emotional states and Virtual Reality (VR) to generate an environment condition. The study was conducted by VR environment displayed in Head-mounted Display Oculus DK2. Twelve persons participated in data acquisition by two tools: during environment exploration, a portable physiological device (Empatica E4) recorded HRV signal; and at the end of study, a Likert scale questionnaire collected emotional impressions. HRV signal was analyze in time-frequency to detect activation or relax levels. The statistics results prove that design guidelines used in environments evoked the stressful state sought, and that the physiological measure used are appropriate to be represented. The final result shows the possibility to mapping emotional states. This novel technique allows to quantify objectively a subjective experience and locate in specific place when occurs. Our technique supposes a contribution toward emotional states measurements applied to design and architecture.

[EN] The artifacts developed over several ages, such as libraries, encyclopedias, and databases, show the cultural evolution of information systems. Compiling, organizing and visualizing information is a task carried out by mankind for thousands of years. The added difficulty in effectively communicating information in various sectors and services of our society reveals that an efficient communication of information is of the utmost importance in the current network society. The glut of information is directly related to the fact that the information that we are exposed, is not subject to a filtering and organization process. This reveals an urgency to develop strategies that not only prioritize the organization and searching, but also increase the efficiency of the communication process, in order to promote an efficient framework in the user’s cognitive and perceptual field. Therefore the task of designing complex information systems in an accessible manner, currently represents an important goal and an imperative task of the Design/er (Wurman, 2001), (Bonsiepe, 1997; 2000) (Rheingold, 2005), (Thackara, 2006), (Wright, 2008), (Castells, 2010), (Gleick, 2011), (Lima, 2011; 2014), (Meirelles, 2013), (Börner, 2010; 2014; 2015). The publication and the querying of articles, papers, journals, books, are an integral part of the research process. However, the querying and information visualization process in a scientific academic repository often proves to be a hard and inefficient task, because the wide range of results hardly fits in the user’s specific subject. However, if we equate that the knowledge objects are accessed by a significant number of users with a specific interest in a topic, and in the course of their research, each user handles a significant amount of results. It is then possible to consider the existence of a hierarchical and relational structure of evidences that emerges from the relationship established between the users, their specific interests and knowledge in a topic and the querying performed. Therefore, it is fundamental to consider the user’s experience and the leading role that it represents in the information filtering process.This paper aims to present key insights on the information glut problematic and proposes a new approach/system applied to the academic scientific repositories. A collaboration system is designed, in order to filter and visualize the rating flows based in the user’s experience, instead of the usual citation "object" centered approach. The focus of this work is to describe one part of the system, that is the experimental implementation of an interactive hierarchical structure.
