NOCA RAMOS
During the night of July 4th 1975 I've decided to be born to this world.
I suppose I must have been indecisive about it because the doctors took some minutes to convince me, since I was born dead.
I've died more times during the next 39 years, but I was also born as many.
I studied all the necessary years to get in College.
I’ve got lost and found many times in Architecture School, but one day I was fed up with labyrinths and decided to study Design at the University of Aveiro.
After finishing my academic path in the universities I decided I really wanted to learn.
Learn new things…
Experiment new things…
… and most of all keep challenging myself with new projects that make me follow through unknown trails.
Make-believes made with open heart and, most of the times, eyes wide shut.
That’s how, almost by accident, I’ve got here.
ANA MESTRE
She graduated from Industrial Design at IADE – the Institute of Visual Arts and Design (Lisbon) in 2001, and obtained a Master of Science degree in Renewable Technologies from the New University of Lisbon in 2005. Ana started her professional career in 2001 as an eco-design researcher at the Portuguese National Institute of Technology and Innovation (INETI). In 2004, she was invited to be an Assistant Professor in the field of Design and Sustainability at the IADE (Lisbon). In the same year, she became the founding director of SUSDESIGN – Design for Sustainability Studio, Consultancy, Education, and Research, based in Lisbon. Since 2006, “Cork Design” has been Ana’s primary research subject, and she is the creator and director of “Design Cork for Future, Innovation, and Sustainability” (also the title of her first cork book), the first internationally applied design research initiative for cork innovation. In 2009, while developing her PhD studies at the Delft University of Technology, under the subject of “Cork Design” she become founder, design director, and resident product designer of the CORQUE DESIGN Brand. As a professional designer, Ana presented her work in several international initiatives and exhibitions around the World (Lisbon, London, Berlin, Milan, Porto, Helsinki, New York, Los Angeles, Shanghai, Tokyo, Hong-Kong, Rio de Janeiro, and São Paulo are some examples). 2011 was the starting year for SUSVISION – the first formal academic and professional network for “Sustainable Design” within the “Lusophony” (Portuguese-speaking) context, focusing on the specific socio-cultural and economical aspects of the Portuguese Speaking Countries, and using design as a “strategic innovation approach” in international collaborative projects. She is presently the Portuguese Coordinator for REGIO-CRAFTS – Regional Cooperation for Crafts Development, of the INTERREG European Commission initiative. Ana has recently published in the “Journal of Cleaner Production”, the “Journal of Design Research”, and the “Pages of Art & Design Journal”, amongst other previous participations including the “Design Research Society” conferences and publications.Presentation
The theme that inspires DESIGNA’s 4th edition focuses on the bond between Design and Desire.
The subject of Desire emerges explicitly in the public policies devoted to the arts and to the industry following the need to react to the competition of foreign products, more appealing to consumers. The diversified offer of distinct products to a same function adds the need to outstand and persuade to the object’s intrinsic quality in order to make it comply with parameters such as identification and belonging, buying power, social status, gender and symbolic expectations.
The subjection to Desire is an inexorable trend of capitalist societies’ dynamics, since this type of categories frame the equation of contemporary freedom of choice and individual expression. Through Desire, Design bonds with communication and mediation, in a sort of metaphysics of the concrete in which the capacity to create, promote, consume and use goods and services tend to reconfigure the aesthetical experience. The appeal to the imagination, or even pleasure, runs through Design’s every domains. Paradoxically, such appeal aims for a position of loyalty and linkage to which not even the electronic platforms or the new media can escape.
Desire and imagination work as elaborate predication processes that reveal the individual’s cultural substrate through an uncountable number of narratives and fictions, sources of education and production of knowledge.
Such cosmogony, connected with a certain epicureanism of contemporary life, may be able to question the humanities, as well as Design’s more technological dimensions, bringing together crossed perspectives on Design’s theory and practice, as well as on civic morals and body policies.
It is precisely to understand the relevance and the ways in which Desire projects, programs and constitutes itself (with)in Design that DESIGNA invites to the submission of communication proposals.
