Abstract

The article describes and presents the results of an atypical process of Design research strategy, tested in a Master in Design Course. It is intended that students explore ideas, concepts and themes - Inspiration Mining - taking as a starting point a set of 32 (30 + 2) reference titles, with the objective of discovering, through the establishment of more or less (im)probable relationships, possible points of interception, enhancers of new ideas. The objectives of the proposed work focus on the development of research and critical reflection in a collaborative environment of exploring the [apparently] unknown, in search of new meanings. During the process, the intersection of inspiring ideas leading to the transforming a set of existing ideas into new ones.
