Studios are the creative heart of the BA study programme at Design Academy Eindhoven. A studio at DAE is where students learn to translate their ideas and principles that they have developed at the Academy into their own practice as a designer. The toolbox filled in the ongoing Fundamentals programme will be used here. We envision designers to have a natural urge to innovate and have a strong curiosity to learn how things work, how things come apart and how parts can be reused as a material source for future products. We want to challenge ourselves and our students to create concepts that are unique and innovative while being proof that both functions and esthetics are visible and meaningful. In the Studio, we have built up a lot of experience exploring the fundamentals of a circular society and gained knowledge about how to create attractive, sustainable solutions for everyday life. One of the challenges of today’s designers is to rethink our consumption patterns that have created a system of mass waste production.
