Archetypes launch the new academic year !

We’ve started the new term with a project around Archetypes, investigating the phenomenology and reasons for the way we design the ‘things’ that surround us. The first two weeks of term have seen 1st year launch into a series of workshops to investigate design and making methods, group work, lateral and creative thinking as well as tackling their first design brief to design and make a spoon !

2nd year have also been launched into a series of workshop rotations to help develop their material language and play with the archetype of the spoon. Its been a busy but productive first few weeks building momentum for an engaging year ahead !

The week after next we will be in Eindhoven for Dutch Design week, exploring creative practices, meeting with creative friends and relating object thinking across continents !
