Worship of personalities, party compositions without programmatic harmony, an abundance of court decisions – this is what the political discussion in the country boiled down to. There are no proposals under discussion, no directions for overcoming social archaisms and everything that hinders economic development.

In a history of tragic unpreparedness for emergencies, the nation continues to drift between actual attempts to put out fires economically, at the most to satisfy individual privileges, and the constant feeding of political unrest.

For a long time the political debate did not consider the project, whatever it might be.

The ability to build infrastructure, establish strategies for industrial advancement, or even structure some of the social assistance seen in short moments of the past has for some time indicated that it is possible to design the future. And the future is the time of the project – the result of a focused, persistent and continuous effort aimed at solving something that imposes itself in the present, but is remote in time for its effective implementation.

The main function of the project is to ensure that this time is exceeded through a reasonably controlled process. It includes forecasting, evaluation and anticipation. It implies, first of all, a well-conducted diagnosis.

Hence the concept of a project, which cannot be confused with an idea, no matter how interesting it may be. There is an abyss between idea and implementation, and building bridges is a direct result of generally complex design processes.

What is a project? How does this idea get entangled in the daily lives of all of us, regardless of social class? An integral part of the process of civilization, design is far from natural. It is an action to be developed, understood and studied. Regardless of its purpose, a project is a field of knowledge and involves a long range of considerations about methods and processes. I repeat, this is not something natural. This requires the collection and organization of information, the definition of goals and objectives, as well as structural formalization.

I fear that the resistance to its inclusion in Brazilian social practice, in our culture, is a chronic, a kind of national birth defect.

Is the constant confirmation in the melancholy diagnosis that we don’t excel at planning, that we are a culture of improvisation devoid of the rationality necessary to carry out the necessary actions between the announcement of the idea and the implementation of the project, is true? ?

Starting to analyze the Brazilian society within the framework of the project concept is an urgent work. The time has passed to face this shortcoming that affects us so much. Are we doomed to political exercises based on rhetoric and personalist antagonism? Are we doomed to ignore the analytical, critical, and ordering role of the proposals necessary for the application of reason?

This is not about encouraging positivist rationality, which considers itself absolute and uses order as the main value, but about a mind that combines pragmatism, empathy and joy as integral elements of life. Because, to paraphrase a popular saying, there is no solution without a draft.
