Searching for Wise Practices
Design and Crafts in territorial signification
by Cláudia Albino

This book, with a preface by Professor Rui Roda (PhD), is the result of a research in design that, based on the assumption that sensitivy to what is local is relevant in the context of a globalized world, in view of the hegemonic trend towards its homogenization, sought to understand how design could become a catalyst to new practices with the ability to give visibility to the territory’s distinctive values, making it present and using crafts as reading key Part 1 is a reflection on the presence of processes of alterity in territorial identity enhancement, incorporating a transdisciplinary knowledge that establishes a connection between design, territory and crafts. Furthermore, Portuguese places are presented as territories that favour relational design. Part 2 presents, according to seven theoretical principles – renaissance; academization; amplification; sustainability; signification; knowledge and politicization -, twenty five years of dialogues between design and crafts, supported by thirty five Portuguese projects, with the purpose of identifying the factors that contribute to the social, economic and cultural signification and regeneration of the territories, giving them visibility at a global scale.

Cláudia Albino obtained a degree in Architecture, at the University of Porto, in 1989,a Master’s Degree in Design and Marketing at the University of Minho, in 2001, and a PhD in Design, at the University of Aveiro, in 2015, with a thesis entitled “Os sentidos dos Lugares. Valorização da identidade do território pelo design”.
She is an assistant professor at the Department of Communication and Art of the University of Aveiro and an ID+/FCT researcher; her main area of research is Design and Territory. She has been developing projects focused on enhancing territorial identity through design, based on the revitalization of artisanal techniques, identifying the locally significant knowledge of the places and ressignifying them by using new glocal product and service systems as anthropological amplifiers of local lifestyles. Within this scope, she has participated in various national and international conferences and published her works in specialist journals and books.
She lectured in the Interior Design Course at the Higher School of Arts and Design (ESAD) in Matosinhos between 1994 and 2009. Between 1989 and 2009 she worked simultaneously as na architect at the Albino, Marta & Cardielos studio, represented in various architecture exhibitions and distinguished, among others, with two first prizes and one second prize in public architecture competitions in Portugal.
