Jockey Club Innovation Tower is a building of the Hong Kong Polytechnic University. It was designed by Pritzker-prize-winning architect Zaha Hadid. (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Innovation_Tower)
The Jockey Club Innovation Tower is home to Hong Kong Polytechnic University 's School of Design and is the new driving force in the development of Hong Kong as a design hub in Asia… It has 15,000 square metres of net floor area and can accommodate about 1,800 staff and students… “The fluid character of the Innovation Tower is generated through an intrinsic composition of its landscape, floor plates and louvers that dissolves the classic typology of the tower and the podium into an iconic seamless piece. These fluid internal and external courtyards create new public spaces of an intimate scale which complement the large open exhibition forums and outdoor recreational facilities to promote a diversity of civic spaces.” - Zaha Hadid, Architect, Innovation Tower (www.sd.polyu.edu.hk/en/j.c.-innovation-tower/the-architec...)

My work looks at the boundaries between craft, design and fine art, with reference to functional forms and the language of the everyday object. I use a variety of materials to create 3D and 2D drawings, aiming to create curiosity and playfulness through objects both wearable and non-wearable. www.cargocollective.com/rosiecurrie

Leather dyed to produce an ombre effect before being cut to size and woven through a mesh fabric. Using leather in thin strips allows the entire hide to be used, meaning as little wastage as possible is achievable in the designing process. Combining traditional techniques such as hand weave, with modern fabric choices and technical manipulations to the fabrics create a contemporary aesthetic to a hand embroidered design.

After observing the decaying, painted qualities of buildings during a trip across North India, I decided to explore the theme of ‘Degraded Textures’ in my final collection of woven textiles. With the help of The Gillian Purvis Trust, I visited the TextielLab in The Netherlands during August 2015 to see the production of large-scale jacquards and collections of contemporary woven homeware textiles. Further analysis of fabric collections by contemporary interior brands such as Bute Fabrics and Kvadrat fuelled my interest in designing a range of luxury textiles for contemporary interiors. The fine artist and designer, Bernat Klein, has also been a key influence on my creative process after observing how he translated textures from his paintings into choices of yarn, colour and repeat patterns for interior woven fabrics. My collection of woven fabrics inspired by ‘Degraded Textures’ contains a range of luxury plain, twill and corduroy structures with textures such as fluffy silk mohair, rippled chenille and silk bouclé. These are contrasted with the painted appearance of dipped latex mohair, multicolour fancy silk yarns and compacted elastic shapes on block pattern jacquards. Morton, Young and Borland Textiles, a specialist woven lace company, kindly manufactured some of my repeat pattern designs into sheer madras lace fabrics that complement my collection of dense, textured jacquard and dobby cloths.

My project stemmed from the combination of a fervent interest in global sports and fitness trends with innovative interaction design. As we become more active our muscular recovery time increases, as does the possibility of injury. Muscular pain and reduced mobility is also triggered by long periods of stagnation in poor posture positions. Many of these issues can be remedied by adopting basic exercises into your daily routine and understanding your body better. NUE Wares guidance compression provides you with the tools required to effectively manage your mobility and muscle recovery. Tactile print on the compression garments guide you to the location of key muscle groups, whilst the accompanying app offers detailed video tuition and information on how to tackle specific pains and provides routines to help you warm up and recover pre- and post-exercise. coroflot.com/rawilliamson93
Seeing bone china as a developer to record both our true thoughts and physical reaction, Chinese text (inner thoughts) and body parts(physical reactions) are impressed on different sides of bone china. In my degree show collection, I question whether we should reveal our true thoughts or conceal them by physical reaction. www.facebook.com/Angelas-Jewellery-Diary-222567847926263/...
FEEDR is an exploration of the nature of online conversation and the emergent behaviours of trolling, by generating a social media inspired app to encourage conversation between users.
This project focuses on bright colour combinations while exploring simple linear forms. The main theme surrounding this project was to design fabrics that are interchangeable. Working with simple grid forms and linear colour stripes, the designs produced are examples of what proportions and colour options buyers could opt to purchase, but are easily changeable to create a custom fabric. Creating reversible fabrics also encourages the idea of offering the consumer more choice over their garments.

'Out of season seaside town' My collection is inspired by out of season Blackpool. I have taken inspiration from layers of decayed paintwork and rust. I have made my woven fabrics using silk and cotton to capture the 3D shutters in the form of pleats, 2D graphic fabric, and textural pieces.

This interactive piece places the user in control of an unstable ecosystem of islands and boats. The work is inspired by my own time growing up on a small island as well as the eventful history across all the Scottish islands. Throughout the project I have explored the natural, social and industrial events that have effected this larger network of islands.

Nicola de la Haye Building, which along with the Peter de Wint Building are the home to the School of Art, Architecture & Design (AAD), and the home of the Media Archive for Central England. At the University of Lincoln, in Lincoln, Lincolnshire.
In the 13th Century women were little more than the property of their husbands and barred from public life. Upon the death of her father Lord Richard de la Haye, she inherited the position of Constable of Lincoln Castle.
By May 1217 during the First Barons’ War much of England had been taken by the combined French and rebel English forces including the city of Lincoln. Only Lincoln Castle remained in support of the current monach King Henry III.
She keept power of Lincoln Castle during months of sieges, until William Marshal arrived with royalist forces to support the Castle. This is seen as a turning point in and meant that Prince Louis would not take the English throne.
Lincoln was awarded Gold – the highest standard possible - in the national Teaching Excellence Framework (TEF) award in 2017, an independent assessment of teaching quality in UK higher education. The University states that this award reflects their “exciting teaching, great support for students and excellent employment outcomes”.
The School of Art, Architecture & Design say how “this can be demonstrated by an impressive number of our students annually winning international design awards, such as the RSA Student Design Awards and D&AD New Blood Awards. Our innovative ‘Student as Producer’ initiative offers students the opportunity to engage in real academic research and external professional projects.”

A thematic series of rings formed from a variety of materials; cast silver, set concrete & steel. My work is about female sexualisation and objectification and to reflect this I seek to incorporate functional daily materials such as steel and concrete (along with the traditional silver) as a link to how sexualisation happens in day to day life. Each of these rings has a different weight, shape and finish. All representing aspects of the daily female experience.

“Lo-Lux”: This project explores the possibility of combining low-income housing with luxury housing in one tower by giving these two types of housing a different interpretation in public space - in both domestic and the shared space of the tower.
In modern context, “luxury” equals to “privatize”. Luxury apartments tend to privatize everything to guarantee the least amount of disturbance from others, therefore we have luxury apartments with private swimming pool at the balcony, private gym and home theatre within the housing unit. In this case, luxury apartments are located at the half of the tower which adjacent to High Line in this project. These units have the view of High line, larger unit space and standard layout.
Low-income housing is usually featured with shared space because that’s the more efficient way to distribute space as a resource. Communal kitchen or restrooms are designed for social housing at the beginning. The idea of the Pilotis from Le Corbusier was also aiming at freeing the ground floor space for public use. However, with the development of virtual communication tools, people tend to stay at home to communicate with others virtually, rather than going out physically. Now, the public/shared space for housing needs to be subdivided and scattered.
Project Brief: Update I choose to interpret the topic in a humanistic manner, thereafter showcasing different perspectives of failures across a spectrum of disciplines and eventually removing the stigma attached to failures. Introducing, Fail Journal, a quarterly update on the honourable fails of life. The idea is to change people’s perception towards failures and to celebrate it instead of avoiding them. The publication is a compilation of articles, useful life hacks and quirky features balanced with delightful visuals to convey an optimistic, light hearted read.
The inspiration behind Karoline’s collection comes from her fascination with the sea, in particular corals. From this subject matter she wanted to study the free-flowing shapes, textures and vibrant colours and capture this qualities in a variety of methods and mediums. The technical aspect of re-creating these forms through a knitted medium produced challenges. By combining yarns such as elastic and cotton coated Nylon she was able manipulate machine techniques creating 3D surfaces and hybrid structures through knotting techniques. Karoline’s final collection of fabrics are for a fashion context and challenge ideas of conventional knitted garments.
Totems of Transcendence and Melancholy of Memory. An exploration of past events and explanation of the ways that family ties, bonds, and familial relationships, are discerned through the medium of photography/moving image and how it becomes a contested site of those memories, alongside a type of ‘visual therapy’ that forces us to consider the implications of melancholy and rational thought. The family photograph, as a construction of social relationships, is a familiar theme in the history and theory of the medium. However, in my own personal circumstances the family album takes on a gravity of meaning, a sense of fascination and dread, dominated by incidents in my past, which is shared here in my body of work.
Eight in ten people between the ages of 11 and 30 suffer with acne in the UK. Treatment through medication can lead to nasty side effects and antibiotic resistance. ClearSkin is a hands-free phototherapy mask for home use, which treats facial acne in a safe and non-invasive manner. It targets the main areas on the face affected by acne, emitting a combination of blue light that kills acne bacteria and red light with healing and anti-inflammatory properties. ClearSkin significantly reduces acne over a 12-week period when worn for 30 minutes daily. The flexibility of the mask allows it to conform to any face, while the integrated battery makes it possible to carry out household tasks when undergoing treatment.

Data Cultures is an interactive project that explores the realm of data visualization. It is an interpretative piece that plays upon the similarities between the emergent nature of ‘the social network’ (specifically Twitter), and the growth and spread of a bacterial species. As well as relying on Tweets as a conceptual Trigger, the piece also relies on Tweets as a literal trigger. As Tweets containing a specified word are received, they are visualised in the form of generative creatures, who’s attributes and resilience are based on the content their defining Tweet, and the creator’s profile. The project uses the visual metaphor of a petri-dish in to frame and analyse a snapshot of real-time Twitter activity.

The Pencil Lab aims to create a different type of exhibition; one where visitors can leave their mark. Each visitor is given a pencil and is encouraged to draw or colour on the surrounding panels hence transforming the space over time. The space also includes a pencil shop, a café and an exhibition space to offer new insights into the world of drawing.
