   Pattern-based codesign

   Design patterns deconstructs the myth that design projects are created by a single consciousness, the lonely designer.

   Classroom-to-Studio Transformation

   I like to teach through developing projects as done in design studios. Most of the times, students need to adapt regular classrooms to work like design studios.

   LegoML

   Unified Modeling Language (UML) is a set of standard diagrams and notations for creating software. We created at PUPCR a physical version of these diagrams with Lego to enable the participation of designers, clients, and users in software architecture and modeling activities. The concrete representations help the participants understand and make good use of software […] - Nov 1, 2018

   Improvised Videos are short films recorded with smartphones to support a codesign process. They represent everyday scenarios where the design object plays a protagonist role. The interaction with the design object is depicted through variegated film and theater techniques such as enactment, role playing, props, puppets, cuts, and transitions. The main advantage of using video […] - Nov 1, 2018
