This article presents considerations for a critical re-evaluation of the design field arising from the intensification of a crisis in public education that hit the Escola Superior de Desenho Industrial in the years from 2016 to 2018. With salaries and scholarships suspended or delayed, professors, students, technical-administrative employees joined former students and friends of the school with the purpose of developing activities that could keep the school open. From this collective mobilization, questions have emerged about design and design education that call for a reconfiguration of practices and assumptions in the field. More specifically, they claim the qualification of daily survival acts as acts of design, of doing design without projecting and without the commitment to solutions for the future. Thus, the concepts of planning, progress and future, traditionally linked to the field, are questioned in search of alternatives to a developmentalist and rationalist future project that is problematized in several fields of contemporary theoretical production.
