Wonder Design Workshop and the Exploitation of the Senses and of Imagination.

What is it?

The workshop is formed by the discussion and conceptualization about Wonder Design. To comment upon this debate, concepts related to romanticism, specially its search on desire, exploitation and discovery, are brought into light. These concepts inspire what we call as Wonder Design: exploitation of senses, living objects, materiality of the abstract and valuation of the poetic language. After that, we introduce Wonder Cards, a project creation card game which try these elements. Afterwards, the experiment of these concepts begins, and the members will use this deck of cards to develop objects and/or spaces inspired by Wonder Design. To close, the member prototype and/or introduce their proposals to the collective debate.
The primordial purpose of this workshop is to encourage its members to escape project common view, to stimulate creative thinking and imagination through experience.

For whom?

Students and professionals from the fields of Design, Marketing, Management, Communication and other professionals from the creative field who wish to expand their innovation, research and methodology aimed at the development of projects.

Duration: 2-4 hours

The workshop was a part of Rio + Design in 2015 scheduling, at the PUC-Rio 2016 Design Week and the 2016 Offline Fun Event.
