32nd museu da casa brasileira design award
museu da casa brasilera design award/ The MCB Design Award, held since 1986, arrives at its 32nd edition accomplishing the goals of valuing the design professionals’ activity alongside the Brazilian industry and incorporating the discussion over a wide range of actions that have been developed in the segment, besides revealing talents all over the country and recognizing professionals and companies. In 2018 the Design Award received 663 creations, which were evaluated by two judging committees. The “Product” categories (“Construction”, “Electronics”, “Lighting”, “Furniture”, “Textiles”, “Transportation” and “Utensils”) were coordinated this year by Levi Girardi, a designer graduated at FAAP-SP, CEO and founding partner of the design and innovation studio Questtonó, with
headquarters in São Paulo, Rio de Janeiro and New York. The committee was also composed by 16 expert judges who are active in the academic field and market.
Design, with book launchings, workshops and food trucks, besides the already traditional open meeting with the judging committee and winners.
The “Written Work” category, for the second year in a row, was coordinated by Cibele Haddad Taralli, a graduate, master and doctor in Architecture and Urbanism by FAU-USP (1974, 1984 and 1993, respectively) and a professor at graduation and postgraduation courses in Architecture and Design of the same institution. The committee was also composed by 31 expert judges.
The exhibit marks another chapter in the contemporary production of Brazilian design mapped by MCB and brings together the 122 awarded and selected projects in the “Product” and “Written Work” categories, while the Poster Contest exhibit, which used to be held in the first semester, will present 101 posters (1st place, 10 highlights and 90 selected works). For the third consecutive year the visitors will be able to elect their favorite poster through ballot vote.
The opening of the Design Award was reformulated in 2017 by replacing the award ceremony with a festival-like fair of specialized publications in Architecture and
Museu da Casa Brasileira
poster contest/ The Poster Contest 2018 was one of the first preparations for the 32nd edition of the MCB Design Award. This year 424 pieces from all over Brazil were submitted, resulting in the choice of the winner, highlights and selected works for the exhibit.

The results showed many peculiarities, from effectiveness to singularity as media that a poster must wield. The winning piece, produced by designer Celso Hartkopf Lopes Filho, from Recife (PE), presents gesture as cultural identity and is composed by a digitally-made illustration mixed with pointillism and painting with primary colors distributed in grains, resulting in a postimpressionist pop with chromatic effect that resembles the flag of the state of Pernambuco. 3/

Among the highlights are posters that showcase the creativity of Brazilians. The creativity of authors Ronaldo Arthur Vidal, Lais Ikoma and Marcelo Siqueira, from São Paulo (SP), brought to the piece a tactile and optic appeal provoked by the printing of the text in bubble wrap, while Rodrigo Fiorin Pinheiro, from ESPM-Sul in Porto Alegre (RS), oriented by Rogerio de Abreu Dorneles, presented a rigid and translucid plan using acrylic and vinyl, mapping a graphic field in which background, figure and texture harmonize. Furthermore, another point that caught the judging committee’s attention were the posters with detachable parts. The piece created by Leonardo Tavares, from Unifil in Londrina (PR), and the work of student Gabriela Pagliusi Gennari, from FAU-USP in São Paulo (SP), invite people
to take information with them. Emblematic everyday objects were also present. Maurício Firmino da Silva Junior and Marcelo José Tavares Silva, from São Paulo (SP), used a flip-flop with nails to show this Brazilian representativeness, while Heitor Calado Simonetti and Fábio Santos Silva, from Universidade Metodista in Piracicaba (SP), oriented by Tomas Sniker, stemmed from a photographic appropriation of the artisanal rug as central image of the poster. Lucas Parra, Marina de Aquino, Andrea Freitas and Maurício Ackermann, from São Paulo (SP), relied on the surrealism of a bird (ovenbird) with a texturized headeye mimicking the serigraphy reticle, while Caio Camarinha, also from São Paulo (SP), through the agility and flexibility of a stamp with superpositions was able to create a project
that can produce originality at each action. The poster created by Rafael Amato Bruno de Lima, from Contagem (MG), presents an interesting composition which underlines fragility and deformity as visual resources, and Felipe da Cunha Ribeiro, from UEMG in Belo Horizonte (MG), oriented by Igor Rios, chromatically worked on a poster that mixes graphic icons and characters, allowing appreciation from a short or long distance. The exhibit of the Poster Contest 2018 happens in November, for the first time along with the exhibit of the 32nd MCB Design Award. As usual there will be public participation and visitors will receive a ballot to vote in their favorite poster.

products categories/ The MCB Design Award has been present for over three decades in the history of Brazilian design, enough time for design professionals to understand its relevance. Each edition brings a landscape of the moment we live in economy and culture, besides being an important place to discuss the conception of each piece or product that will be part of people’s lives. And this discussion brings together high-level professionals, among colleagues from the Design market and the academy, which compose our body of judges. This year we finally achieved a balance between genders with the same number of male and female judges, which has much enriched the process due to very different and judicious views on each theme. We’re glad! In addition to the two stages of traditional judging, the first one 16/
being digital and the second one having the actual pieces at the judges’ disposal, we had the opportunity to propose yet a third session. During the “Intervention” stage, all the judges could question the decisions previously made by the members of each category, including those of already awarded projects. An exercise of humbleness and openness to the views of colleagues, this innovation in the judging process allowed an even more transversal and comprehensive analysis, result of a more systemic and rich view of Design that takes into consideration different perspectives beyond each one’s expertise. Still in regard of the process, this year we’ll repeat the same successful formula of last edition. During the exhibit opening, the judges will be at the public’s
disposal to promote an open and informal discussion about the decisions made and to give feedbacks about rewarding or not a given project. Thus, we’ll continue to promote this rich formation process bringing authors together with their public and ever-constructive criticism, which invariably results in the improvement of Design production in Brazil. Regarding the presented projects, we watched a surprising evolution in the amount and quality of the works submitted to the “Electronics” and “Utensils” categories, probably result of a resumption of these so important segments of our economy. We saw products of international relevance, solutions that result from a judicial observation of habits and behaviors of the Brazilian consumer. The “Lighting” and “Furniture” categories historically have the higher representativeness
The “Construction” category continues to present contemporary and functional solutions, as well as the “Transportation” category, which elevates more and more the well-known production capacity of Brazil.

in number of subscriptions and stability in quality, and this was maintained. But it’s worth noting that the “Furniture” category, even representing more than 50% of subscriptions, had a reduced number of products able to be showcased in the exhibit, according to the judges.
Finally, the “Textiles” category gave us the feeling that the industrial segment could be better explored with more subscribed products, given the diversity and the sophistication of the Brazilian textile industry, side-by-side with 17/

The awarded and selected products and systems in this edition stand out by the way they fit into new contexts and use experiences. Most projects were destined to the internal coating and finish segment, in residential or commercial properties. Traditional or usual construction materials such as concrete, ceramics, porcelain tile, and hydraulic tile are subtly reinterpreted. The perception and interaction occur through touch, in textures, and vision, in composition games of light
and shadow, fullness and emptiness, and patterns. The greatest highlight is the first place, which combined in a balanced way a good design to an improvement to the product’s usability. The “Prototype” modality, as important as the “Product” one for allowing the presentation of new ideas, experimentations, processes, technologies, and innovations to the segment, had no selected works in this edition of the Award. 21/

This project’s highlight is the material used to produce the sink, which was manufactured from flagstone-effect porcelain tiles with high precision in the cutting and joining of the elements. Two planes that converge towards the drainage center provide the visual lightness
of the piece. The central slit ensures water flow, collected later by a hidden groove, and acts as a guide for a wooden tray with porcelain tile center for soap and accessories. The fixation is obtained through support brackets on the wall.

This year’s selection and award seek to showcase the wide Brazilian production, with pieces of high design quality both in industrial scale and small series. The jury understands that the award’s role is honoring good production, as well as indicating what can be important to culture and industrial production. We also seek to show a wide range of prices, with serial lowcost, excellent-quality products sided with exclusive, more restrictive pieces. We noticed a larger number of subscriptions of students and prototypes, which was understood as the growing validation of the award as a tool
of promotion of new talents. For those initiating their careers, presenting themselves to the industry and public is essential. We wish to increase the number of students’ works. Also, there was a decrease in professional, industrial and public lighting equipment. Because of that we brought a larger number of invited pieces to endure public evaluation The three awarded works are complementary: one by a Brazilian designer working abroad, one showcasing the nation’s greatest industrial quality and one that values our artisanal memory, our woods and poetries.
These three should represent the best of our production. The jury long debated about this order: privileging the industrial, the beautiful, the magic, the bold vs. the elegant, and coming to a decision involved the entire group. It’s the synthesis of this selection. We believe the current production shows maturity and originality. We wish the award promotes good design, good industry. We hope MCB keeps promoting the approach between designers and the industry, those who provide and those who consume. Receiving such prize is encouragement, recognition, competitiveness. 43/

Amarcord quickly captivated the jury. The creative use of light refraction results in the visualization of the dome as a diffusing element. The dome, when the light is off, is completely transparent. When it’s on, the LED lighting seems to make it translucid, like a lamp. The dimmable control softens the light intensity making its use more flexible. With elegant application of new technologies; minuscule, potent light sources; and a certain magic that surprises us, this lamp is pleasant in many ways. It shows us precise, sophisticated digital lighting. It has an exquisite, classic silhouette, precise proportions and high quality technological production, without ornamental excess.

Cadeira AVA’s main raw material is wood. The piece’s language is techno-organic by the union of digital technology and handmade, resulting in refined ergonomics. The meeting points between structure, seat and back rest, obtained by machining, create line and outline fluidity, in line with the pattern of the wood. The result is great precision in execution. The three-dimensionality of the chair is a game of revealed thickness and fittings. This in addition to the construction technique that makes good use of the wood and results in strong finger jointing draws the attention of the observer beyond recognizing it as furniture.

Stand out among the awarded projects of textile design with sociocultural conceptions and sustainability requirements, providing versatility, investigative development and social inclusion, besides attention to use experience and construction of meanings, environmental protection and ethical commitment in all processes, as well as the final product. The Brazilian textile design is more and more committed to its role as a social transformation agent, with technological innovation and diversity appreciation. Exercising interdisciplinarity, this edition presents comprehensive themes
in the design field. Creative processes constitute autonomy relations in artisanal and industrial making, revisiting and experimenting production stages that motivate sales, consume and the contemporary use of textiles. Selected products and prototypes reveal the development of the textile chain by presenting the creation and investigation of new processes and weaves, in their many typological aspects – industrial, artisanal, artistic – of surface transformation and application to design. The responsibility and awareness of the Brazilian textile production, by recognizing limitations and transformation needs, are translated into opportunities that result in new production methods, increasing its strength and design applications. 79/

In the “Utensils” category of this MCB Design Award’s edition, we selected 11 products and 4 prototypes that represent different project typologies and proposals, whose main features were appointed individually. In the first stage, the choice of products and prototypes that stood out happened through evaluation of the presented information about each one regarding material use and production process, market characteristics and configuration, considering aesthetical, functional and ergonomic aspects. In the second stage, we were able to get in direct touch with the objects and assess them using judicious analysis of the presented proposition, through verification of its features, seeking to recognize
innovation character of the project’s process and/or result. It’s worth noting that only after evaluation and selection by the jury were we able to know which companies and designers stood out. We could then realize the relevance of industrial poles in the South of the country, that presented a high volume of releases and products with quality, a result of investment in Design. The awarded and selected pieces have proposals, solutions and ideas that involve different questions to be highlighted, such as concern with ergonomics and usability, production challenges, attention to adequate use of materials, care with the sensorial characteristics perceived when handling the product/prototype, etc. Under “Products” we find
pieces that are part of people’s day-to-day in their domestic, work or leisure environments. They’re relatively common objects that presented improvements and concern with aesthetical and finish aspects, with their usability pointing to a better understanding of use situation, quality of experience and thus needs, desires and new ways of enjoyment from this context. Under “Prototypes” we highlighted from pieces whose purpose is assessing the solution proposed by the industry – in terms of technical, ergonomic, use, and aesthetical performance – in a stage prior to production until product proposals that reflect academic investigation and show development potential.

each work according to common standards, and participation in collective debate for the selection of each awarded or selected work for the exhibit. Besides, they performed excellent collaborative work in the final composition of the catalogue’s texts, which deserves appreciation.
The body of awarded works stands out for original and contributive approaches to valuing of design as reference to education and practice, for the merit of achieved results and for the openness to the promotion of new studies and researches, not leaving aside the intersections and inputs from other applied social sciences that collaborate to design thinking.
The “Unpublished” awarded works had a larger number of subscriptions this year and are represented in three works that deserve distinction, a result of researches that were unanimously chosen by the jury. They represent a qualitative extract of the current Brazilian academic production about Design, with recognition of institutions, students and advisors.
Activities of the jury, formed by experts in diverse fields, include individual, judicious evaluations of 116/
The two first places in this category have a lot of merit,
which having its own focus, but having in common a look through history and good technique: both the thesis Memória gráfica em museus de arte: Pinacoteca do Estado de São Paulo (1st place) and Em busca da cor: construção cromática e linguagem gráfica de rótulos cromolitográficos do Arquivo Nacional e da Biblioteca Nacional (1876-1919) (2nd place) are supported by judicious investigations. The first focuses on visual identity in graphic supports, and the second dives into the historical technique of color printing, bringing abundant documentation and reflections about historical archives in careful presentations. The third place, master’s dissertation Os currículos mínimos de Desenho Industrial de 1969 e 1987: origens, constituição, história
e diálogo no campo do design, brings a critical study about parallels and dissonances in the formation of design competences, anchored in contextualized research of the backstage of the institution of two graduation curricula. Still in regard of this category, the judges awarded five works with honorable mention because of the quality features achieved when focusing themes that are innovative, controversial or disseminate authorial design production as contribution to the national industry’s development, besides two works that shade light and collaborate to knowledge and study of typography. Whereas the editorial production that composes the “Published works” category is represented
this year by a smaller number of titles, with expressive highlight to the quality of products, contributing to the dissemination of design research and experimentation. The two first places reflect the excellence of the national editorial production, with consistent content of research and knowledge, presented in editions of impeccable graphic quality. Jayme C. Fonseca Rodrigues | Arquiteto (1st place) addresses the legacy of the engineer-architect for the design and architecture produced in the context of Brazilian art déco evidencing the unison dialogue between these two areas, while Fortuna Critica – Sergio Rodrigues (2nd place) gathers and clarifies the designer’ thinking through published authorial texts followed
by contextualized reflections and critiques about his production. The 3rd place was awarded to Domesticidade, Gênero e Cultura Material, a collection of critic essays organized by professors and researchers, and presented in didactic edition, with approaches that dive into the domestic universe exposing personal relationships between inhabitants and between these and spaces and artifacts. Other highlighted works in both categories bring a current picture of national production about Design.

Jayme C. Fonseca Rodrigues | Arquiteto Authors: Hugo Segawa, Juliana H. Suzuki and Nilce Aravecchia Botas Publisher: BEI Editora São Paulo, SP
120/
Hugo Segawa gives us this impeccable publication about the work of engineer-architect Jaime Fonseca Rodrigues, a result of systematic work with documental and image research tackled by university researchers, professors, students and technicians. The exquisite critic essays by Juliana Suzuki and Nilce Arravechia contribute to the book’s success, not forgetting to mention the family members, guardians of the time capsule open with this edition. Authors comment and discuss, from wide historic documentation and personal records in travel journals, the formative trajectory and work consolidation of this professional (1905-1946). A discrete character unknown to the great public, he produced in a short time an expressive set of buildings that surprise for their language and the unison dialogue between architecture and interior design, clearly identified with the art déco movement from the 1920-1940s and the more pure-
lined modernism. The book shows us a production of masters who integrated architecture and design – inside and out, judiciously and to the minimal details, dedicating to the design from furniture to lock, from 1:1 lighting to façade perspective – and presents the author’s systemic, integrating conception, which can be seen in his urban projects of residential, institutional and cultural buildings. The unprecedented material is presented in bilingual edition with excellent editorial and graphic quality, bringing competent narratives about project and production in architecture and interior design. The abundant iconographic documentation was generously and carefully selected and makes reading accessible and pleasurable, an original, complex time portrayal of the modernist innovations that coexist with conservative solutions and the judicious details of demands. 121/
2nd place/ Fortuna Crítica Sergio Rodrigues Authors: Afonso Luz and Renata Aragão Tiburcio Publisher: Instituto Sergio Rodrigues Rio de Janeiro, RJ
Launched by Instituto Sergio Rodrigues, this bilingual work edited in exquisite graphic project presents essays and chronicles written by Sergio Rodrigues during the 1950-1960s for Módulo and Senhor magazines, a little-known side of the designer. It brings a selection of nine texts, illustrated with historic pictures and reproductions of furniture and interior architecture croquis designed by him, being each text followed by writings from curator Afonso Luz, that contextualize the time portrayed presenting references, notes e critic essays that also show the
little-known and revolutionary work of Sergio Rodrigues as an architect. Luz presents an understanding of the social, cultural and political moment in which each work is located, deepening concepts and showing Sergio’s methodology for project conception, emphasizing experimentation during the process. He creates counterpoints to Sergio’s singular way of approaching his work, his irony when dealing with polemic subjects and his relationship with clients. He also highlights the designer’s proposal for industrialization both in architecture and furnishing, not abandoning however artisanal production processes. The book innovates by focusing not only Sergio’s furniture, but also his texts with precious references that clarify historic contexts and help us understand his thinking, contributing to the designer’s historiography. It comes with a facsimile of the catalogue of the “Casa individual pré-fabricada” exhibit, at MAM Rio in March, 1960.

3rd place/ Domesticidade, Gênero e Cultura Material Authors: Silvana Barbosa Rubino, José Tavares Correia de Lira, Joana Mello de Carvalho e Silva and Flávia Brito do Nascimento Institution: USP and UNICAMP Publisher: EDUSP and CPC-USP São Paulo, SP
The collection of texts from a CPC-USP seminar in 2014 addresses housing as a culture artifact, through the view and collaboration of various researchers. The competent theme curatorship, organized by Flávia Brito, Joana Mello, José Lira and Silvana Rubino, presents refinement and harmony in unfolding domesticity
through texts that bring readings and reflections with bibliographic accuracy and articulation contextualized with transversal themes, revolving the home environment regarding construction, composition and functionality of these spaces, as well as the social dynamics and personal dilemmas developed there. Thus, it brings a successful
reflection about the current ways of living, in which the house and their inhabitants (especially women) inspire analysis under different points of view. Power, gender and behavior in this domestic context configure, therefore, this very rich landscape of private life and its most intimate scenarios. 123/

Memória gráfica em museus de arte: Pinacoteca do Estado de São Paulo Author: Jade Samara Piaia Institution: Unicamp Orientation: Edson do Prado Pfützenreuter Paulínia, SP
130/
This thesis brings to discussion the relationship between visual identity through graphic memory and the aspects that have influenced it, or that reflect its visual form, considering the used graphic technologies, the time frame of the focused institution and the graphic field. It addresses through competent textual and visual narratives the Pinacoteca do Estado de São Paulo throughout a time trajectory, with emphasis in the institutional graphic signature and its transformations throughout time. It’s worth noting that the discussion about graphic memory and material culture in Brazilian design is an important contemporary theme, and its relationship with public Museological institutions’ identity is a valuable contribution. In this work the author demon-
strates effort in defining concepts and differences between visual and graphic signatures, which can serve as a reference to other works with similar theme or time frames, including those prior to the institutionalization of the Design field in Brazil. The consistency of the thesis is manifested in its clear methodology, extending itself to appendices and annexes and exposing a rigorous research procedure, anchored in primary sources and the accurate image selection represented by precious synthesis that permeate the entire volume. It’s an interesting rescue not only of São Paulo’s graphic memory, but also of the memory of one of the most important museums in the city.

This careful edited thesis addresses chromatic construction strategies in chromolithography, historic printing technique characterized by manual, empiric color separation. The study corpus focusses in public institutions’ archives that gathers collections of Brazilian product 132/
labels produced using various chromolithography techniques between 1819-1919. It adopts accurate research procedures supported by microscopic observation and register techniques in the analysis of 100 samples, later presented in exquisite verbal and
visual narratives that are relevant to graphic design and illustration. The work contributes to the design and graphic memory fields, contextualized in the material culture and visual languages resulting from the production techniques.
3rd place/ Os currículos mínimos de Desenho Industrial de 1969 e 1987: origens, constituição, história e diálogo no campo do Design Author: Eduardo Camillo Kasparevicis Ferreira Institution: USP Orientation: Marcos da Costa Braga São Paulo, SP
The thesis addresses an important theme to the history of Brazilian design promoting a historic-critic rescue of the constitution of minimal curricula for Industrial Design between 1969-1987, focusing on the role of academic characters and members of the industrial design
field in soliciting, discussing, writing, reviewing and publishing both curricula. Thus, it makes parallels, exposes particularities and presents actions, their articulators and political issues, showing the difficulty to get to the effective proposals. The research methodology is anchored in the
premises of social history, using procedures from other segments in an exemplary and judicious manner in each investigated stage, character and aspect. It brings reflections on design teaching and institution in Brazil, opening paths for the development of new researches. 133/
honorable mention/ AK-47: a marca da paz. Reflexões sobre as táticas discursivas do design da guerra Authors: Laura Scofield Cardoso Institution: UEMG Orientation: Rita Aparecida da Conceição Ribeiro Belo Horizonte, MG
The work stands out for discussing design in the context of war artifacts, embracing a theme little explored by designers and academics: the AK-47 branding, gun launched in 2014, providing an intriguing discussion. The brand134/
ing strategy brought a new look to the products, in a paradox in which war is presented as a path to freedom, raising discussions and reflections through a complex dialogue between war and peace. The theorists and sources
that were chosen to substantiate the research corroborate and help justify the questions and hypothesis, and the graphic project is competent, besides the excellent printing quality.
honorable mention/ Estudos sobre tipografia: letras, memória gráfica e paisagens tipográficas Authors: Priscila Lena Farias Institution: USP São Paulo, SP
This thesis gathers and presents a collection of essays specialized in typography published between 2001-2016, revisited and organized in three axes: typographic principles (regulation, nomenclature, classification, analytic model), typographic memory (strategies for typography and graphic design history) and typographic landscape (presence of
typographic elements in the urban scene). This collection contributes to the formation of a graphic design knowledge focused on typography by offering a conceptual and operative base of this language system, analysis and empiric research methods and guidelines for pedagogic practice. The work crowns the pioneer efforts of the author’s academic trajectory.

Situações lúdicas para o brincar no espaço urbano: experimentações para processos projetuais sensíveis às perspectivas das crianças Authors: Graziela Giacomin Nivoloni de Almeida Escobar Institution: USP Orientation: Clice de Toledo Sanjar Mazzilli São Paulo, SP
This thesis has the merit of transposing a dense communication theory, in this case Charles W. Morris semiotics, to analyze color as a fundamental element in a branding strategy. The narrative is well organized, the goals are clear and the methodology points to categories from chromatic visual discourse that can contribute to the development of visual identity design.
This dissertation brings contemporary reflections about the design process of urban spaces and installations for kids’ free play based on listening to children as subjects (collaborators or co-authors) instead of just users. It’s well written, theoretically well based, and presents illustrated experiments that elucidate how the project process can incorporate look, gesture and play, coming to conclusions that value the subjectivation in the project. 139/
selected/ Crítica da experiência como mercadoria no Campo do Design Authors: Fabiana Oliveira Heinrich Institution: PUC-Rio Orientation: Alberto Cipiniuk Pelotas, RS
The work proposes reviewing the term experience design from a social point of view. It postulates the hypothesis that
it isn’t possible to design “for” neither “the” experience, arguing that its meaning is reduced and instrumentalized when treating experience as a product. The critic analysis is richly and deeply developed in a theoretical reflection that deals with fluidity over a wide bibliography, extrapolating the design field.
