The Selection of Materials is a field containing a group of criteria necessary to choose materials applied to the Design project. Several criteria were associated with this selection process, and just some of them were considered for the study (such as aesthetic properties related to colour and texture; intangible requirements like emotions, perceptions, and stimulus; and some specific biological properties connected to biomaterials in the textile context). The study aims to understand the visual colour stimulus of biomaterials from the perspective of the Synaesthetic Design phenomenon. The designer has a pertinent role in understanding the mechanism around social desires (environmental protection, impact of materials, transparency, traceability, and attractive products). Biomaterials are produced from various sources of feedstocks such as residues, wastes, and sub-products of raw materials. In these cases, the transformation of the materials is crucial to becoming valid on the market and desirable to the consumer. Thus, how can the designer create value opportunities using these materials? The literature review is a methodology integrated into this study through the addition of interdisciplinary areas that seek to generate systematic and holistic based reflections. The designer needs guidance on biomaterials and their visual interpretations, which are linked to emotions or sensorial desires of human behaviour and feelings to create empathy with them - specific materials based on descriptive criteria connected to the Selection of Materials field. Therefore, the study hopes to facilitate the growth of biomaterial application by offerings insight about these concepts and consideration on eventual opportunities for creating experiences and innovative products based on a thoughtful and informed selection, contributing to a deeper understanding of biomaterial and these properties within textiles, towards a Circular Bioeconomy view.

This paper uses the literature review methodology to compile knowledge about the children’s digital book theme. It begins with a brief historical contextualization of the evolution of the children’s book and a reflection on the use of technology by children. Next, the different types of digital media are listed, referring to the critical points of its history, and focusing on mobile devices as reading media for children. Finally, we reflect on digital interactivity in children’s books, which are now visual, sonorous, and tactile.

OECD (2021) emphasizes rural places' critical role in driving sustainable, inclusive growth. It also reinforces the need to strengthen place-based and place-led opportunities and resilience to go against global challenges and ongoing societal transformations, such as digitalization, climate change, ageing, migration, and population decline. This reality presents significant challenges but also opportunities. According to some authors, rural communities have a critical role in tackling issues such as sustainable food supply chain development. The unique potential of rural areas to address these challenges and drive sustainable growth and people's well-being and happiness is also recognized.On the other hand, boosting community-based innovations and organizations is crucial to unlocking local opportunities, attracting investment, delivering improved essential products and services, and boosting growth and inclusive, sustainable development towards regenerative economies. In this line of thought and within the framework of the European Project Creation (Ferreira et al., 2020), this paper presents the main outputs of a research work that envisioned a new and sustainable creative hub business model. The regenerative economy understanding and the social innovation and sustainability background in Portugal's forest and rural setting are underlined. The design of the Creative Nature Hub's (CNH) business model, a cultural and creative non-profit association, was supported by the analysis of three case studies of European organizations in the cultural and creative industries acting in rich cultural and human environments with similar sustainable goals. These hubs focus on social innovation, exploring collaborative processes, social learning, networking, and partnerships as strategic drivers for sustainable development. Applied research practices and people and nature-centric approaches allow new social interactions, respecting old cultural practices and ecosystems' dynamic balances. Technology democratization and literacy facilitated generational knowledge transfer and value co-creation in the contemporary digital paradigm. In line with the stress by (British Council, 2015), creative hubs have numerous advantages for those who participate in their functioning and the community. These hubs provide short- and long-term support in the form of products and services, facilitating communication within the community, creating a network and a wider audience, promoting the emergence of talent and creative thinking, or nurturing inclusive development. As the output of the design-driven research activity, a modular and evolutive CNH business model emerged. It allows the transformation and adaptation of the organization over time, highlighting circular design, green technologies, and sustainability to respect natural environment patterns of change and promote territory restoration while nurturing community well-being.
经合组织(2021)强调农村地区在推动可持续、包容性增长方面的关键作用。它还强调需要加强基于地方和地方主导的机会和复原力，以应对全球挑战和正在进行的社会变革，如数字化、气候变化、老龄化、移民和人口下降。这一现实既带来重大挑战，也带来机遇。一些作者认为，农村社区在解决可持续粮食供应链发展等问题方面发挥着关键作用。会议还认识到农村地区在应对这些挑战、推动可持续增长和人民福祉与幸福方面的独特潜力。另一方面，促进以社区为基础的创新和组织，对于释放地方机会、吸引投资、提供更好的基本产品和服务、促进增长和包容性可持续发展、实现可再生经济至关重要。在这一思路和欧洲项目创建(Ferreira et al.， 2020)的框架内，本文介绍了一项研究工作的主要成果，该研究工作设想了一种新的可持续的创意中心商业模式。再生经济的理解和社会创新和可持续发展背景在葡萄牙的森林和农村环境强调。创意自然中心(CNH)的商业模式是一个文化和创意非营利协会，其设计得到了对欧洲文化和创意产业组织的三个案例研究的分析的支持，这些组织在丰富的文化和人文环境中行动，具有类似的可持续目标。这些中心侧重于社会创新，探索作为可持续发展战略驱动因素的协作过程、社会学习、网络和伙伴关系。应用研究实践和以人为本和以自然为中心的方法允许新的社会互动，尊重旧的文化习俗和生态系统的动态平衡。在当代数字范式中，技术民主化和扫盲促进了代际知识转移和价值共同创造。根据(英国文化协会，2015年)的压力，创意中心对那些参与其功能和社区的人有许多优势。这些中心以产品和服务的形式提供短期和长期支持，促进社区内的交流，建立网络和更广泛的受众，促进人才和创造性思维的出现，或培育包容性发展。作为设计驱动的研究活动的输出，一个模块化和进化的CNH商业模式出现了。它允许组织随着时间的推移而转变和适应，强调循环设计，绿色技术和可持续性，以尊重自然环境变化模式，促进领土恢复，同时培养社区福祉。

The primary goal of our work is to address the issues concerning the application of sustainability concepts in the Higher Education Campus of the Faculty of Architecture at Universidade de Lisboa. Sustainable actions and attitudes are part of the sustainable principles of the Sustainable Development Goals adopted in the 2030 Agenda by all member states of the United Nations. This exploratory research is based on a review of the international literature specialized in sustainability assessment in Higher Education Institutions. A qualitative research approach was applied, using a questionnaire adapted from the European University Association in 2021, as a research instrument, with the objective of knowing the perception and opinion of the Faculty of Architecture (FA) academic community on some of the collective actions of greening. Based on a survey carried out on a non-probabilistic sample selected from Campus users, a qualitative interpretation and discussion of the data obtained were performed. With this investigation, we intend to know the challenges and initiatives practiced in this Campus in defense of sustainability and contribute towards a changeover the environmental, social, and economic awareness of the campus community.

According to several authors, emotions are vital in decision-making, existing three fundamental components in the emotional set, that is, the affective, the cognitive and the motor, which gives emotions a central role in design projects, along with intuition, directly relating the design product with its user, which may lead to the adoption of new attitudes. Since emotions are processed at memory level, they can enable the generation of new meanings established by each user, motivating feelings of belonging, in addition to promoting greater durability in the relationship established between user/object, which may lead to positive attitudes at the level of product life cycle. Over the last few decades, there has been a paradigm shift in terms of design processes and methods, which has brought with it greater flexibility in the incorporation of concepts, promoting interaction and empathy with human beings, valuing a more cognitive and humanistic design approach. In this paper we present an investigation that fits into the disciplinary territory of Design, in which we intend to give emotion a central role in design decision-making. It uses a mixed methodology centred on literature review and practical experience in teaching design project. It is intended to stimulate reflection and bring new perspectives on the addressed object of study that may lead to a position taking the emotional component as a fundamental advantage key strategy in design decision making, contributing to a more sustained vision of the professionals but also the students, in the development of projects in design.

This article intends to demonstrate that, in the North of Portugal, the creation of a business network can become an opportunity to achieve territorial sustainability.The development of a territorial business network system can be crucial to stimulate local development, in the sense that it represents an opportunity to favor and encourage investments. This strategy, in addition to contributing to the dynamization of the productive activities involved, will make it possible to trigger new partnerships, which may be an opportunity to develop and share resources, processes, knowledge and innovation among the intervening parties.The territory of the North of Portugal is mainly characterized by small and medium-sized companies and, according to data from the National Institute of Statistics, in the study carried out in 2008 on the structures of Portuguese companies, “there were 349,756 micro, small and medium-sized companies (SMEs) in Portugal", taking into account that the North region had 113,747 companies, influencing the region's turnover by 69.5%.With this study, the authors intend to demonstrate that in the North of Portugal, the implementation of a design-oriented territorial network strategy can be crucial to achieving territorial sustainability (Costa, F.; Soares, L.; Aparo, E., 2022) to define the evolution of the local economy. In this sense, it is intended to implement a business network system of contacts, through the business characterization of the territory under study, in this case, the North of Portugal, which promote innovation, design-driven innovation (Verganti, 2020), and are also a way of generating dynamism in productive activities, fostering sustainability and even their success or even survival. Based on localized excellence, a project built on a network can activate collaboration processes, boosting the productive capacity of each company, improving the offer and making processes and resources profitable.

Despite encouraging indicators that epilepsy cases can be prevented with low-cost, efficient drugs, a significant number of patients are resistant to treatment. Constant monitoring is one technique to get around this problem. Wearables are a suitable alternative, but they must deliver a positive user experience; hence, they must consider “material” and functional factors. Human-Centred Design (HCD) is an effective method to achieve that because it focuses on users’ needs. However, HCD is concerned with the potential problem space but overlooks some essential features of technological use. Speculative design is a method for investigating potential design outcomes and possibilities that may arise in the future (i.e., problems concerning privacy). In this sense, the paper argues that speculative design can extend HCD to create wearables for epilepsy patients who require constant monitoring.Keywords: Epilepsy, Human-Centered Design, Privacy, Speculative Design, User Experience, Wearables

In response to Norman’s argument that human-centred design can be harmful, this paper introduces the concept of Benefit of Inconvenience, and explores the potential of Kansei Design. Benefit of inconvenience is the enhanced user value that is brought about by adding extra effort (and time) to daily activities that aim to achieve certain objectives. The concept identifies its notability in design research and practice due to its perspective that places a user as a constituent factor of a holistic design system for solving a problem rather than regarding the user merely as a recipient of the solution. Subsequently, a possible integration of the benefit of inconvenience, KJ Method and Kansei Engineering (the methodologies that leverage kansei and intellect for structuring meanings of the world and translating the structured meanings into physical specification) that together forms Kansei Design (one of the possible accomplishment forms of design management) is illustrated.

The aim of this paper is to evaluate the graphic resistance and visual performance of Brand Marks in use on websites and social media. It aims to bring knowledge about the impact of digital media on the design of contemporary Brand Marks, but especially the limitations observed in the trademarks of brands originated during the 20th century or previously.Considering nowadays impact of online and digital communication, the internet of things, and the diversity of multiple screen dimensions, it is important to take a closer look at the performance of Brand Marks on websites, responsive web pages, audio-visuals, and social media.This topic is very relevant when studying or developing flexible systems of brand identification or even Brand Mark variants and respective visual guidelines. Specifically, we intend to observe how the design of Brand Marks and the digital environment compromise the graphic coherence of Visual Identity and brand identification.A systematic methodology was adopted, with a non-interventionist base, with the case study of 32 large and international brands. The results consist in the identification of a set of principles and graphic features which Brand Marks should follow to ensure its recognition, the coherence of Visual Identity and brand identification.
