The aim of the project was to explore the bending property of bamboo. The explorations led to the creation of the bamboo bending jig.

The aim of the project was to create ceramic vases taking inspiration from Tamil letter forms. Looked at various aspects of Tamil culture before choosing the letter forms. The vases were slip cast and slab built. Most time was spent. Vases because they are a product with a lot of freedom for exploration, but at the same time I wanted a finished product at the end of the project. Learning to slip cast was the secondary objective. It allows for more freedom in terms of the form, and it is repeatable. Early inspirations were the works of Valentine Schlegal, Jerilyn Virden, and Ettore Sottsass.

The aim of the project was to create an object that combined play with furniture for kids of kindergarten age. The object would play an active part in the kids' imaginative play. It would be used independently by the child without the adult having to intervene. I wanted to make a piece of furniture for my P! but chose to work with ceramics instead as we were not certain as to when we’d be back on campus and have access to the studios. With hindsight, it would’ve turned out alright if I’d gone with it, as we made it back pretty early on into our P1s. So, I was very much determined to make one for my second project.

This study uses tools from semiotics to study the work of Indian cartoonist Satish Acharya. It includes a brief study of the history of editorial cartoons, a study of basic concepts of semiotics, and existing work that has been done to apply these concepts to conduct a formal analysis of political cartoons. This study analyses a selection of Acharya's work from 2020 to identify the elements of the visual language he uses to construct his cartoons and to study the explicit and implicit messages they contain. We find that Acharya uses consistent visual techniques to amplify or ambiguate his critique as needed and places himself squarely with the people, against the political class.

The first phase of the project, which lasted from October 2020 to May 2021, comprised an analysis of the approaches and tools that are used by the engineers within the SE 2A research cluster. A main aim was to reveal tacit assumptions, which guide the work of the engineering projects, and to investigate parameters and metrics that are applied within these projects. Here, the focus was on the engineers’ understanding of sustainability as well as their underlying assumptions of passengers’ and airport residents’ needs and demands with respect to sustainable, low-noise, safe, and reliable aviation.

Innovation and creativity management is an interdisciplinary movement that tries to optimise and exploit the untapped potential of creative ideas. This paper investigates the work culture of a construction equipment company, Volvo CE, and studies how creativity tools can affect the creativity in groups while trying to answer the question of how to reframe a work culture in a company with innovation management in an organisation. Volvo CE has always successfully reinvented its creativity management through years, helping them to stay as the best in industry around the world. The creativity tool experiment was done with the help of a creativity game to study how much impact it can have on players to shift their perspective about working in groups and contributing to the team and how that can help in reframing the work culture.
