Presentation
The Advanced Design Project curricular unit program consists of the development of a visual essay that must be materialized in an experimental publication, whose theme is close to graphic design and which can eventually also contribute to opening doors to the student's own practice. Therefore, it is recommended that the design develops based on the contents and concepts presented. This project aims to speculate on the narrative, navigation and format of the book, in an attempt to establish a parallel between it and the content provided, possibly through its relationship and spatial extension. The final project must ensure that both functional and conceptual dimensions are met - that is, despite being experimental, the contents are readable and the object functions within the parameters for which it was designed.

Syllabus
Syllabus
The program aims to develop Design solutions with the ultimate objective of an experimental book/publication. The project dynamics are based on 4 stages: Diagnosis/Research; Non-objective experimentation of a visual essay; Objective experimental of the same visual essay and related texts; Project/presentation of an experimental publication/book that draws a parallel between the book-object and the theme explored in it

Objectives
Objectives
To enable and develop the designer as an innovator and as a problem solver. To value innovation, critical thinking and the capacity to reflect as agents of social, economic and cultural transformation. To foment briefing analysis and problem solving through a process which follows specific stages: discovery, creation, validation e implementation which intends to create and select ideas, experimentation, presentation and defense of the found solution. To foment team work collaboration and project management. To use interdisciplinarity as a privileged way of approaching and solving the challenges proposed along the semester. To ensure that the acquisition of technical competences and design technologies is made in real life contexts, which is, emerged within the reality of the environmental challenges and questions, sustainability and the social challenges that arise.
