Resumo(s)
O design centrado no humano é uma abordagem metodológica que envolve a participação dos utilizadores, diretos e indiretos, durante todas as fases de um projeto (abordagem bottom-up). Em relação ao projeto de arquitetura, ainda que também se utilize esta abordagem, os arquitetos tendem a utilizar mais o seu estilo e gosto pessoal (abordagem top-down). No entanto, podem surgir problemas quando o estilo e gosto pessoal do arquiteto não coincidem com as necessidades dos utilizadores desses mesmos projetos.
Uma área de projeto que geralmente beneficia da abordagem bottom-up são os videojogos, onde o designer de jogos procura conhecer as necessidades dos futuros utilizadores dos seus projetos. Esta abordagem procura que o projeto tenha a forma desejada pelo designer e ao mesmo tempo, satisfaça as necessidades dos utilizadores.
Neste contexto, o principal objetivo deste trabalho é estudar a utilidade de uma perspetiva bottom-up, frequentemente utilizada no desenvolvimento de videojogos, no desenvolvimento de um projeto de arquitetura. Assim, exploramos no enquadramento teórico, os métodos e as variáveis utilizadas no desenvolvimento de jogos digitais e a sua relação com o projeto de arquitetura. Identificámos assim que esta abordagem é referida por vários autores e que pode ser uma abordagem promissora para complementar os métodos de design de projetos de arquitetura atuais.
De modo a conhecermos a opinião dos arquitetos sobre esta abordagem bottom-up, desenvolvemos também uma investigação prática, para conhecer como eles valorizam as necessidades dos utilizadores no projeto e como as integram no projeto. Verificámos que os arquitetos entrevistados valorizam muito as necessidades dos utilizadores, mas que nem sempre as integram no seu projeto de arquitetura.
Human-centered design is a methodological approach that involves the participation of users, direct and indirect, during all phases of a project (bottom-up approach). Although this approach is also used when it comes to an architectural project, architects tend to use more of their own personal style and taste (top-down approach). However, problems can arise when the architect's personal style and taste don’t coincide with the needs of the users of those same projects. One area of design that generally benefits from the bottom-up approach is video games, where the game designer seeks to know the needs of the future users of his projects. This approach seeks for the project to have the form desired by the designer and at the same time, satisfy the users' needs. In this context, the main objective of this work is to study the usefulness of a bottom-up perspective, often used in video game development, in the development of an architectural project. Thus, we explore in the theoretical framework, the methods and variables used in the development of digital games and their relationship with architectural design. We identified that this approach is mentioned by several authors and that it can be a promising approach to complement the current architectural design methods. In order to know the architects' opinion about this bottom-up approach, we developed a practical investigation, to know how they value the users' needs in the project and how they integrate them in the project. We found that the interviewed architects value user needs a lot, but they do not always integrate them in their architectural projects.
