- Cum festinationePublication . Castro, CristinaPartindo da ideia de que, qualquer vislumbre de uma montanha real não aparece sem a nossa presença, e, assim sendo formando uma mistura de pedra e de carne, pensamos na hipótese de um imaginário impregnado nela, ou seja, em nós. Nesta acepção, localizar a montanha não implica a utilização de instrumentos de mediação, porque este é um território corpóreo, que se escapa a cada movimento.
- Exploring somatic awareness in product design education: a Feldenkrais-based workshop studyPublication . Loyens, Dirk; Schumann-Sizaret, Nicole; Chakraborty, ShujoyTraditional product design education emphasises visual and cognitive approaches, giving limited attention to embodied knowledge, despite the physical nature of human-product interactions. This exploratory research investigates how somatic awareness practices derived from the Feldenkrais method might complement design education. Through a five-session workshop with six master’s design students, we documented how participants experienced and integrated somatic awareness into their design thinking. Data collection included body mapping, observations, and interviews. Students reported greater awareness and attention to bodily sensations and movement quality. They described starting to use their bodies as resources for testing ideas, drawing inspiration from principles of movement, and developing critical perspectives on aesthetically focused design. This research contributes empirical documentation of how design students experience somatic awareness practices, addressing a gap in soma design education literature. The findings suggest that structured somatic awareness practices can meaningfully complement traditional design education, offering valuable insights for educators.
- Luga Poster Biennale 2024Publication . Quelhas, VítorIt is with great excitement that we present the first edition of the Luga Poster Biennale, whose mission is to celebrate poster design and its creators across borders. This event brings together a remarkable group of talented designers and visual artists from around the world, reflecting the diversity of languages that characterize the contemporary and international graphic design scene. This initiative, organized by the School of Media Arts and Design of the Polytechnic of Porto (ESMAD/P.PORTO) and the Research Institute in Design, Media, and Culture (ID+), aims to explore the poster as a fundamental element of research, graphic expression, and visual communication.
