Abstract
The present article focuses a exploratory qualitative research on the development of a learning experience on the issue of climate change; developed on the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals—in specific the Sustainable development goal 13—“Take urgent action to combat climate change and its Impacts.” The project developed under the course unit of Information Design 4d aimed to develop a perspective on climate change that could trigger a greater emotional affectation on climate change among potential consumers. The project, included an LSP (Lego Serious Play) methodology. Students used a strategy to make perceptions of the problem tangible in order to develop a perspective according to the importance and priorities of the so-called reptilian brain, in reference to Paul D. MacLean’s triune model following the interpretation by Clotaire Rapaille. From the learning experience carried out with the LSP strategy, in the discovery session, students identified Nature as a commodity and from this perspective formed interesting possibilities in the development of Speculative Design solutions that reinforce the assumption of Timothy Morton concept of artificiality. The learning experience was carried out within the Master of Graphic Design, Association Master between the School of Applied Arts of the Polytechnic Institute of Castelo Branco and the Faculty of Architecture of the University of Lisbon, 2nd semester of the academic year of 2018/19.
