Mobiliário urbano e design: projetos para abrigo para passageiros a partir de depósitos de desenho industrial

Abstract

The urban furniture industry plays an important role in shaping the urban landscape. In order to understand this scenario, the present work aims to analyze the design of shelters for passengers that have Industrial Design warehouses in Brazil. As a methodology, a survey was carried out via BuscaWeb of Industrial Design registration deposits at the National Institute of Industrial Property (INPI) where seventy-two shelters for passengers with Industrial Design registrations were identified between 1983-2023. After this analysis, four reference cases were defined for a study of their respective designs. Although the result obtained is only related to the section covered in the survey, it suggests that there is a need to promote policies to encourage innovation and protection of these technological assets in the country, given that the existence of seventy-two passenger shelters with industrial design protection This is an insignificant number considering a period of forty years of analysis. Furthermore, by analyzing the designs of the four reference cases, it was possible to identify recurring design aspects in passenger shelters, which makes it possible to understand the relationship of this element to the urban landscape. Once the approach is understood, it is possible to replicate the study so that other elements of the urban furniture group can also be identified and analyzed. Thus, it is expected that this work will contribute to the analysis of other urban furniture, activating new perspectives related to design.
