Mobiliário expográfico faça você mesmo: sistema de produção aplicado ao Museu de Arte da UFC

Abstract

This paper presents the research and development of a piece of furniture for use in an exhibition environment, initially the UFC Art Museum, which uses waste wood as its main raw material. It also proposes a manufacturing method that requires few resources and is easy to reproduce, so that it can become easily accessible furniture for institutions with few financial resources. It presents relevant concepts, with a brief history of Expography, based on training material from the Brazilian Institute of Museums - Ibram, authors in the field such as Marília Xavier Cury, Pam Locker and Philip Hughes. It talks a little about furniture for exhibition spaces, Design and Sustainability, Inclusive Design and, of course, Accessibility. It uses the ABNT NBR 9050 standards and Legal Language to raise the level of accessibility, not only of the furniture itself, but of the manual that should be responsible for its dissemination and reproduction. The design method used is Platcheck's Ecodesign, which accompanied the entire process from information gathering to prototyping. At the end, there are some recommendations for the continuation of this project in a possible expansion.
