REDE#02: Design Schools Meeting

Abstract

The REDE#02 event was composed of two parts: the first aimed to revisit some of the questions posed at the first meeting of design schools, particularly emphasizing the relationship between schools and companies. The second part of the event focused on the presentation of the project “DesignOBS: For a Design Observatory in Portugal”, and on the exhibition and discussion of some results obtained, namely on the topic of PhDs undertaken in Design in Portugal. Each of these sessions was followed by a discussion with representatives of the companies BA Glass and Larus, with representatives from invited schools; the director of the Danish Design Center and the Danish Design Award, Christina Melander, and Fernando Rocha, vice-president of the Matosinhos City Hall.
