Abstract(s)
Os Laboratórios Académicos nas áreas das Artes,
Arquitetura e Design, como espaços de criação e
experimentação com diversos materiais, produzem uma
grande quantidade e diversidade de resíduos.
A ausência de diretrizes para tratamento dos materiais
utilizados nestes espaços, dificulta a gestão dos resíduos e
estes acabam, muitas vezes, por serem misturados e
encaminhados inadequadamente, resultando frequentemente
em práticas inadequadas. Afetando assim o ambiente, a
sociedade e a economia e contrariando os princípios da
sustentabilidade e da responsabilidade ecológica e
pedagógica (Leite & Pazmino, 2022; Penty, 2020). Partindo
desta premissa, surge a questão de partida “Como e onde é
que o Design, pode colaborar na ação de gestão dos
resíduos produzidos em Laboratórios Académicos?”.
Para responder a esta questão, a investigação estruturou-se
em quatro momentos. O exploratório, identificou as
necessidades dos laboratórios e analisou as diretrizes
existentes para práticas mais sustentáveis, alinhadas com a
Economia Circular. O generativo, consistiu na criação de
uma proposta de equipamento para tratar, separar e
armazenar resíduos. O avaliativo, qualificou a proposta com
base em opiniões de especialistas (professores e técnicos dos
laboratórios). O conclusivo, culminou no equipamento.
A presente investigação, teve como objetivo desenvolver um
equipamento funcional, para organizar e gerir os resíduos
laboratoriais, promovendo práticas ecológicas,
sensibilizando os futuros designers, arquitetos, engenheiros,
entre outros. Consequentemente, partindo dos resultados
obtidos da aplicação nas variáveis estudadas, e apreciações
dos especialistas, o produto final revelou-se adequado para
os objetivos traçados. No entanto, percebendo-se que a sua
viabilidade merecia a execução de um protótipo funcional
para testes reais.
Academic Laboratories in the fields of Arts, Architecture, and Design, as spaces for creation and experimentation with various materials, generate a large quantity and diversity of waste. The absence of guidelines for the handling of materials used in these spaces negatively affects waste management, which often leads to their improper mixing and disposal, frequently resulting in inadequate practices. These practices have negative impacts on the environment, society, and economy, going against the principles of sustainability and ecological and pedagogical responsibility (Leite & Pazmino, 2022; Penty, 2020). Based on this premise, the research question emerges: “How and where can Design collaborate in the management of waste produced in academic laboratories?” To address this question, the research was structured into four phases. The exploratory, identified the needs of the laboratories and analysed existing guidelines for more sustainable practices, aligned with the principles of the Circular Economy. The generative, involved the development of a proposal for equipment to treat, separate, and store waste. The evaluative, assessed the proposal based on expert opinions (teachers and laboratory technicians). The conclusive, culminated in the proposed equipment. The objective of this research was to develop a functional piece of equipment to organize and manage laboratory waste, promoting ecological practices and raising awareness among future designers, architects, engineers, and others. Consequently, based on the results obtained from the application of the study variables and expert assessments, the final product proved to be appropriate for the outlined objectives. However, it became evident that its feasibility required the development of a functional prototype for realworld testing.
