How to list? This is a question pursued by researchers at the time of writing their ethnographies. Reporting gestures, sensations, aromas, flavours, colours, relationships and so many other details are challenges to be addressed. The current trend of resuming design as an element of the production of empirical data at contemporaneity highlights the potential for deepening the countryside contexts and abstractions. In this work we propose to consider the design as a relevant method in the anthropological search, using both the design process and the product itself. One of the cuttings of that work results from the ethnographic research of master’s degree in the Social and Cultural Antropology (UFPel) of the applicant, focusing on the social dynamics in the Public Market for Pelotas (RS), following the public policy of municipal intervention in partnership with IPHAN, for the redevelopment of the building and the entrance that took place between 2009 and 2012. The other reminder which I have made here is apparent from the ethnography carried out by the author for the completion of the course of the Bacharelado in Antropology (UFPel), in which he discusses the cotidy of visually impaired people in the city, in view of all the historical problems of non-accessibility triggered by the views of those with vision. Thus, we present the design, through visual anthropology, as a method and a narrative resource for research in humanities.
