Cultivo de horta em ambiente doméstico: uma proposta conceitual

Abstract

Design solutions that facilitate home garden cultivation are lacking in today's market which number of consumers are increasing, but lack the time, space and appropriate information to keep it working well. The present work aims to present design requirements that enable the simplification of domestic garden cultivation through a mixed approach research. Wherefore, studies of the bibliographic references on the product development process were performed and related design tools were applied, such as QFD matrix, global functional structure and morphological matrix. The results pointed out that among the most significant design requirements are the need for automatic irrigation, fewer operations required and portability. Therefore, it is suggested the deployment of studies regarding design requirements to enable the detailing of autonomous solutions, creative, with good aesthetics and functionality adapted to this segment.
