Arquitetura Art Déco em Santa Maria: design de superfície para cerâmicas utilitárias

Abstract

The present work aims to develop a collection of prints inspired by the Art Deco architecture present in the city of Santa Maria. The application, focused on the area of utilitarian ceramics, uses the technique of decal. Starting from the proposal to use Santa Maria's Art Deco architecture, we discuss a brief history of the city, as well as Art Deco in Brazil and in the world, addressing the chosen theme. The area of Surface Design is approached, as well as ceramics and porcelain, bringing information about origins and techniques. The area of stamping in ceramics is also contemplated, focusing on the technique of decal. As a source of inspiration were used some existing buildings in the historic center of the city, having their decorative elements explored. Löbach's (2001) design methodology was chosen for the project using its four phases adapted for Surface Design. Some points of the methodology of Bonsipe (1984) and Baxter (2000) were inserted. With this, this project seeks to value the city's own historical heritage from Surface Design.
