The Role of Visual Curation as a Contribution to the Development of Interfaces Between Academia and Business

Abstract

By exploring the concept of image curation, this article presents a proposal for the applicability of image curation in the development of Projects of Design, exploring the role of visual curation as a contribution to the development of interfaces between academia and business. Due to the amount of data present in digital culture, content curation is an increasingly important activity in project development. In higher-education design formation, image curation allows safeguarding the project literacy on the one hand, through the definition and clarification of an organization of visual elements and defining a basis for dialogue on the projective possibilities. The proposed strategy for visual curation offers the possibility of being applied as a basis of dialogue with external stakeholders. Moreover, thus, in a context of learning in design, enabling another bridge between the Academy and the corporate fabric.
