0000001

0000001 speculates the relationship between subject - object, thus approaching concepts of form and perception. This work shows a versatile design thinking and focusing on working with dettachement of the conscience during the process of object creation in design. It’s safe to say that the concepts of limit and frontier are fading in favor of a holistic and polysemic activity. It is, therefore, of special relevance to understand these operational codes in the reformulation of a new perceptual and
visual thinking. I then propose to develop objects of an experimental nature and question the individual freedom of the designer and the user as creator and emancipator of forms and meanings. The designer seeks awareness of a reformulating need that
replaces a typological and a priori thinking with a free, individual and intuitive process. This does not cancel out an essential historical and referential
search.

My facade

My facade appears from noticing that in official and
local souvenir shops, the products presented are generally not completely intended for children. The children experience could be further stimulated through creative triggers.
For the development of this project, was token as a starting point the imagination and the search for figures / expressions on the monuments facades (in this case, Batalha Monastery). By creating folds and cuts, the expressions of the building are highlighted and turned in to characters.
