ANU Design Studio – at it again!

It’s that time of the year again when we get to work with fabulous students enrolled in ANU’s School of Art and Design. This time we have two student teams. One will develop prototypes for an interactive fabric landscape systems kit, and the other team is devising a way to model the thermodynamic properties of water - so vital to buffering the sun’s powerful energy in our landscapes.  

Their concepts so far are thoughtful and inspiring, featuring invisible ink, crochet, a stress ball, dioramas, beads, arduino electronics and magnets - and reflect amazing skills in digital and clay modelling, electronic object design, glass, printing, textiles and visual arts - we can’t wait to see how the projects evolve. 

Thank you Ruby Davies, Ali Mencshelyi, Tilda Blackbourn-Rooney, Amy Fisher, Sarah Turner and Henry Canavan for diving deep into these challenging briefs!
