S*COOL

A SELECTION OF PROJECTS DEVELOPED ON DESIGN COURSES Since 1999, ExperimentaDesign has played a dynamic role in promoting Portuguese design. Refusing to adopt an institutional or dynamic stance, on the first two editions various events were designed to demonstrate Portuguese production in the specific area of industrial design. In some cases, it also succeeded in creating suitable conditions for a number of designers who already had an established curriculum to develop new projects. A different strategy has been adopted this year. Through its S*Cool exhibition, ExperimentaDesign realises one of its ambitions: to anticipate the future directions of Portuguese design and to work directly with schools. Such an exercise naturally involved inviting seven Portuguese schools offering courses in architecture and design to define a portfolio that can function as a sample of the works produced in the academic design laboratory. The portfolios sent to ExperimentaDesign were then subjected to a second curatorial selection. By bringing the works of these seven schools together in an exhibition, the Lisbon Biennale seeks to do more than just systematise the apparently disconnected individual contributions: it also seeks to improve the dynamics of the schools of higher education, offering them an opportunity to enhance the value of the teaching that they provide, without in any way detracting from the individual talent shown by the designers themselves. In this way, the S*Cool exhibition offers a wider view of the trends that might well influence Portuguese design in the near future, whilst also paying homage to the schools and many people involved in laying the foundations for enhancing the reputation of Portuguese design both nationally and internationally. — ESAD Escola Superior de Arte e Design de Matosinhos Tutor in Charge: Maria Milano Participants: Carla Castiajo, Catarina Fernandes, Cátia Sul, Filipa Fernandes, Luciana Pereira, Maria de Lurdes Gomes, Maria do Carmo Monteiro, Maria Manuela Ribeiro, Mariana Carmona, Marina Moreira, Rita Dinis, Romeu Pinto, Susana Azevedo, Vera Grilo — ESTGAD Escola Superior de Tecnologia, Gestão, Arte e Design das Caldas da Rainha Tutor in Charge: Fernando Brízio Participants: Alexandra Silva, Ana Costa, David Oliveira, Délio Vicente, Filipa Pires, Francisco Martins, Isabel Cardoso, Joana Amado, João Costa, João Sabino, Luís Silva, Luís André Soares, Naulila Luís, Nuno Loureiro, Óscar Ferreira, Patrícia Santos, Philip Rafael, Raquel Abreu, Ricardo Fonseca, Ricardo Martins, Rita Melo, Sérgio Serra, Silvia Estiveira, Susana Mil Homens, Susana Soares, Telma Barrelas — FAUTL Faculdade de Arquitectura da Universidade Técnica de Lisboa Tutor in Charge: Eduardo Afonso Dias Participants: Isilda Marcelino, Catarina Borges, Cláudia Laranjeira, Isabel Marques, João Cunha, José Vicente, Luís Imaginário, Luís Soares, Mário Mateus, Palmira Leiria, Pedro Neno, Telma Tavares, Tiago Inácio — FBAUL Faculdade de Belas Artes da Universidade de Lisboa Tutor in Charge: José Viana Participants: Alexandra Isabel da Conceição, Ana Pessanha, Bruno Miguel Araújo, Cláudia Isabel Martins, Cláudia Sofia Sousa e Melo, Daniel Caramelo, David Gonçalves, Diogo Marinho, Filipa Pinto de Sousa, Filipe Ramalho, Hugo Leão, João Castro, Mário Barros, Marta Reis Maia, Nuno Alexandre de Oliveira, Ricardo Bandeira, Rui Palma, Tiago da Fonseca, Vasco Ferraz — IADE Instituto Superior de Design Tutors in Charge: Paulo Bago d'Uva e Eduardo Corte-Real Participants: Carolina Biscaia Vieira, Cláudio Nelson Silva, Cristóvão Campos, Filipa Barradas, Rita Quitério, Silvana Godinho, Solange Ribeiro — IST Instituto Superior Técnico Tutors in Charge: Luisa Gama Caldas e José Duarte Participants: Carolina Passos, Inês Pinto, Joana Couto, Mariana Pedroso, Mitjia Novak, Paula Silva, Sílvia Preto, Tânia Ribeiro — UA Universidade de Aveiro Tutors in Charge: Fátima Pombo e Rui Costa Participants: Alexandra Rodrigues, Ana Catarina Carreira, Ana João Silva, Ana Moreno, Catarina Simões, Filipe Bento, Joana Reis, Nuno Rodrigues, Ricardo Pereira — VENUE: Antigo Edifício Record DATE: September 18 - November 02 //Concept, Coordination: Guta Moura Guedes [EXD] //Exhibition Layout: Margarida Ventosa //Exhibition Design: Rúben Dias //Engineering consultant: João Moura //Coordination: Isabel Antunes [EXD] //Production: Sara Nobre [EXD] //Construction: CenyCet //Specific Support: Câmara Municipal de Lisboa
