A remodelagem em 3D das peças do jogo de xadrez, inspirada no movimento armorial, como instrumento de promoção da cultura nordestina

Abstract

In the contemporary scenario, characterized by technological influence and the dominance of social media, there is a tendency towards the adoption of external cultures at the expense of regional identity. To address this challenge, it is crucial to employ strategies that value and preserve regional culture. Design emerges as a powerful tool, emphasizing local values. Thus, this paper describes the process of developing a thesis project aimed at redesigning the pieces of the chess game, inspired by the Armorial Movement. The methodology adopted followed Munari's (2008) approach and included stages of research, data analysis, creativity, and 3D modeling. The pieces were inspired by the themes of “Dez Sonetos com Mote Alheio” and were elaborated and rendered in 3D to reflect the aesthetic characteristics of the movement. The initiative aims to promote the game of chess and also to rescue and valorize northeastern culture, providing free access to the project.
