Thirteenth International Conference on Design Principles & Practices

Abstract

This paper presents the results of a design experimentation as part of the discipline Project 3, in Design undergraduate course in Universidade do Estado do Pará – Campus 6, Paragominas city, in the first semester of 2017. The topic is, in local and singular contexts, how developing a proposal of Aparelhagem (sound equipment), that mixing design with theoretical contributions of interaction aesthetics? The method was based on meta-design and in traditional authors of the project and was developed with students in collaboration groups. The project aims to unleash a special kind of interactive experience that is engaging, intriguing, invigorating, and cathartic, although it is a dimension of the actual form of experience, not materialized. Taking into account mainly the cathartic and positive experience and the aesthetic interactions, the design process described proved to be a very important approach to prepare and support the designer in the act of the project, with respect to singular artifacts.
