Abstract
This work intends to deepen the discussion on Design Partnership. To build this argument we propose a reflection that will be introduced by a bibliographic revision followed by a presentation of different Design concepts. In a second moment, we examine the concept of Design Partnership, and analyze how it occurred in the undergraduated Design programme. The Design Partnership experience is a model of teaching, used in the project disciplines also offered in the first year of the course, the student, a future designer, have to work with a partner in a defined context, and to work with a real problem. These disciplines contribute to the development of autonomy and self-expression of the student, helping also to recover and develop the creative potential of them. This helps to develop their critical sense and give them the possibility of the easier discovery of opportunities and problems and present solutions to the real society that they belongs to. The analysis will be held drawing on examples from real classroom practices and projects realized by the students.
