The curricular internship took place in the workshops of the Escola Superior de
Artes Aplicadas, integrated in the ESART PROJECT FACTORY, it lasted for one year,
starting in october 2019 and ending in october 2020.
It basically consisted of individual and team work, of design projects, linked to
analog and digital technologies, this last one went through the improvement with
regard to the use of the Fusion 360 software, and learning in CNC machining and the
3D printer. Other steps related to the project were also deepened, such as: technical
drawings, budgeting and communication.
In addition, support was given to students in carrying out their projects in both
analogue and digital workshops, and also, the dissemination of the students' course
and projects on social networks. It should be noted that part of the internship took
place during the quarantine period, due to COVID-19, so some projects were
conditioned or directed by the virus.
Also during the internship, a research project was developed in the scope of
material culture, referring to traditional techniques of construction of the Alentejo
chair. This research seeks to demonstrate that craftsmanship and design can be
developed together in order to create current pieces of furniture.
