Abstract
This paper presents the project “CIDEX.PT-Interpretation Centre for Design: the northern region in Portuguese design Exhibitions” aiming to research, analyze, interpret and assess the importance of exhibitions as vehicles for the development of a territory through promoting Design and the artifacts conceived and/or produced therein. The methodological approach includes research in documents and archives, the interpretation of which highlights the hermeneutics underlying the artifacts, cross-referenced by the participatory contribution of the memories collected locally. A model is used - already tested for the research and teaching of Design, emphasizing relationships between authorship, programme and technology in the design of a product - showing different layers of the designer's activity in interaction with companies at a given historical moment. The contributions of this paper are based on the methodological proposal for the study of design exhibitions emphasizing its role in the construction of the discourse of the History of Design.
