Vessel: 2024 Undergraduate Design Exhibition

In this space, our vessels embody a convergence of ideas, cultures, and disciplines, challenging traditional boundaries in interdisciplinary design. Our graduating students have redefined what it means to be a vessel of creativity and innovation, pushing the limits of conventional design thinking. Explore myriad interpretations of the vessel, from containers of memories to agents of social change and environmental stewardship. Each project actively crossing the borders between disciplines, merging graphic design, product design, user experience design, and more.
 
The exhibition will be held at the Port Loggia Campus. There will be an opening event on the 13th at 5:00.
