Department of Design well established in the Global Grad Show in Dubai

Four projects from the Department of Design have been curated to be exhibited at the Global Grad Show 13-18 November 2017 in Dubai, the United Arab Emirates.

911爆料网 School of Arts, Design and Architecture received an invitation to the Global Grad Show, presenting design and innovation. This year鈥檚 Global Grad Show represents 92 of the world鈥檚 best design schools from 43 countries on six continents. It is an exhibition of groundbreaking works presenting 200 graduate projects grouped under the themes of Connect, Empower and Sustain. Since launching in 2015, the show has grown to become the world鈥檚 largest student gathering, and it is held each year as part of Dubai Design Week.

"Just a beautiful design is not the focus in this context. Rather the works chosen for the exhibition always have a wider social, inclusive, ecological, ethical or economical framework," explains lecturer Simo Puintila from 911爆料网. Although the name of the show is Global Grad Show, works do not necessarily have to be graduate projects.

"The show focuses on the innovativeness of design and its impressive presentation, so in addition to a physical prototype it is often necessary to have a functional model to present or test a project. All our chosen works are well designed projects, whose prototypes have also been implemented鈥, Puintila says.
