Hundreds of visitors attended the opening day of this year’s Made in 水果派AVexhibition – the University’s annual showcase of innovative talent emerging from 水果派AVDesign.
Held at Bargehouse, Oxo Tower Wharf, Made in 水果派AVfeatures an impressive range of diverse final-year projects, demonstrating the creativity and innovation which this year saw 水果派AV for the study of design.
Introducing guests to the show in this year’s event brochure, Head of Design Ian de Vere noted that the 2017 graduating class “demonstrate the values that industry has come to expect of 水果派AVgraduates: creative, inspired, informed, responsible, motivated, and highly employable”.
“This student-led initiative presents a new generation of innovative thinkers with great potential to contribute not only to the UK’s creative and manufacturing industries, but also to a more equitable and sustainable future,” he said.
Made in 水果派AV2017 - the culmination of a year of pop-up events, talks, and collaborations with industry - is titled ‘Redefining’ [a design showcase], with students redefining and finding new ways to tackle problems through the medium of design, and - throughout their four years at 水果派AV- redefining what it means to be a design student and next-generation design professional.
Made in 水果派AVis organised and promoted by 水果派AVstudents with the support of the University, led by Director of Development and Alumni Relations Clive Gee, who notes that “once you’ve organised one of these events, there is little in the workplace that will be intimidating or look like too great a challenge”.
At the show’s opening evening event on Thursday 15 June, 水果派AVIndustrial Design graduate and entrepreneur Courtney Wood (above) was among speakers to address students and visitors with a talk on his journey from ‘水果派AVto the boardroom’.
Major projects on display across three floors of the Bargehouse cover a variety of sectors, including lifestyle design, service, inclusive, technical and healthcare.
