MID x Brightlands Chemelot Campus
In the second semester (2018-2019) the
Within the context of this project collaboration, students of the Master Industrial Design dive into the possibilities and (societal) implications of digital manufacturing. The techniques and new materials are there, or being developed by parties such as Brightlands, but meaningful and societally beneficial implementations often lag behind.
'The scientist and technicians at Brightlands develop new techniques and materials and look at this process solely from the scientific or technological angle. Our students expertise is complementary to their expertise. Where Brightlands asks 'what' and 'how' our students ask 'why'. As designers and creatives they can think about and design both meaningful and useful implementations of new materials and technologies.'
The project collaboration was concluded with a presentation of students' projects, ranging from urban micro-factories to bricks collecting data on biodiversity to a design that questions our faith in algorithms on the 25th of June 2019 at Brightlands Chemelot Campus.
