Abstract
This study is part of an ongoing research project addressing the design of lighting products, comprising human, historical and semantic references to requalify and update previous concepts. The authors propose the concept of dryas as design model, considering dryas as an organism that embodies nature (as environment), medium (as process), art and persons. Methodologically based on a mixed practice, the study supports the cooperation between different agents to enable new symbolic paths and produce alternative, hybrid design projects. Permeable and adaptative, the design process involved the academic environment, the productive sector and the entertainment industry. The tangible result was a musical show with new floodlight devices designed by Altempo Design Research Group and produced by Furnor and Corticeira Amorim. Contingent on global public health issues, the intangible result is the improvement of the quality of life through network systems and a design approach focused on synergy, human factors and sustainability.
