This project aims to collect, document, archive and disseminate part of the teaching practices of Esdi, UERJ's School of Industrial Design. The project is based on the importance and pioneering spirit of the school since 1963 and its contributions to design teaching in Brazil, such as its influence in establishing the minimum curriculum for design courses. Despite its prominence, there is still little material available for consultation on the school's teaching and pedagogical practices and much of what is known is preserved by oral accounts and through people connected to the school, both former students and teachers. There are also archives and collections, both at the school and in private collections that have yet to be identified, which document the work and exercises done by students and taught by teachers and which can contribute to a greater understanding of the ways in which design was taught. With regard to the relationship between design and education, existing publications favour historical accounts and curricular issues, but provide little material for an investigation into pedagogical practices. In this sense, the project aims to identify and recover practices through consultations, interviews and the recording of materials produced in order to produce and make available a collection for future research.
