ESDI
Escola Superior de Desenho Industrial
Rio de Janeiro, Brazil
ESDI is a college of higher education in design, linked to the State University of Rio de Janeiro (UERJ). Founded in 1963, it is the oldest design college in Brazil and in Latin America.
Design is the field of knowledge dealing with the planning, programming and construction of the objects of daily life as well as the environments in which we conduct our lives. It covers a broad range of activities and can be subdivided into numerous specialities and levels of expertise. ESDI seeks to provide education in design in its broadest sense, equipping students with a solid foundation in the field and preparing them to pursue in depth their individual areas of interest.
The undergraduate course consists of a five-year programme of full-time study, leading to a diploma in design (equivalent to a U.S. or British B.A.) and covering both product design and graphic design. Admission to the course takes place via the appropriate public examination (vestibular) held annually by UERJ.
ESDI is located in an extremely central section of Rio de Janeiro, at the edge of the historic Lapa district. Its compact but pleasant campus consists of a set of buildings housing classrooms; modeling, metal, wood and printing workshops; photographic and computer laboratories; a library; and facilities for research.
International partner schools include the following: Fachhochschule Schwäbisch Gmünd, Hochschule für Gestaltung / Fachhochschule Potsdam, Fachbereich Design / Hochschule für Gestaltung Offenbach am Main / Hogelschool Antwerpen, Hoger Instituut voor Integrale Productontwikkeling / Ohio State University, Department of Design / University of Art and Design Helsinki / École des Beaux-Arts de Saint-Étienne / ENSCI (École Nationale Superieure de Creation Industrielle / Les Ateliers, Paris) / TU Delft, Faculteit Industrieel Ontwerpen
