design policies: the thesis




from october 2009 to may 2013 i was fully dedicated to research, discuss, and write about public design policies. that was the length of my stay at cranfield university, united kingdom, developing my doctoral studies. finally in november 2013 i went through my viva (final exam) and was approved, after reviewing a few topics suggested.

the research was entitled: the impact of european design policies and their implications on the development of a framework to support future brazilian design policies.

only recently the library of the university made available a link to my phd thesis, which i now share with you:


i hope you enjoy and make a good use of it!
