Processos projetuais no Design e na Arquitetura: estudo comparativo de experiências profissionais na cidade de Campina Grande-PB.

Abstract

Designers and architects are professionals who face daily the restlessness of the constant search for the solutions that are most suited to the problem situation that generated the need to develop the project. In spite of their theoretical and technical similarities, the practice of practice reveals the nuances that differentiate the professionals regarding the specificities adopted in the methodological course for the development of a project. In this context, the research sought to identify the specificities of the design processes of the designers and architects who work in the city of Campina Grande - PB, giving an overview of the most widespread methods of design and architecture by brazilian professionals, as well as describing and understand the design practices encountered, know the design processes of designers and architects in order to perceive the differences and similarities between both designers and to identify process variables that stand out as potentialities in the development of projects. A case study with two offices (one from each area) was carried out in that city, selected according to the criteria proposed in the study. The following instruments were used to collect data: characterization form (completed by the researcher with data available in the digital media), questionnaire (answered by the members of the office team) and interview script (carried out with the owner-owners). Data analysis was based on the methods "content analysis", "observation in qualitative research" and "oral speech worship". At the end of the study it was found that although the designing is the core of these professions, the way in which it is conducted to the final result varies both among professions and professionals of the same class, imparting to this process an identity of its own. However, it is also possible to identify approximations, such as the logical line of thought from the abstract stage to the precise technique, as well as some inherent elements of the process, such as computational tools of graphic representation.
