Dublin School of Creative Arts

This year’s exhibition is different. As graduates, we have had to adapt to new and challenging circumstances. Moving to an online environment, we had to think of alternate ways to make our Graduate Exhibition come to life. In its translation into a digital space, the very real and tactile nature of the work we produce is obscured. In our daily lives, there is a sense of human and material touch which is equally obscured. Working from home, graduates are in a new environment. Their creative output extends into their domestic lives as their studies come to a close. It is the parallel between the materiality of our work and the absence of the sense touch that frames this year’s Graduate Exhibition.

This website presents the work of 102 graduating students from the TU Dublin School of Creative Arts, School of Mechanical and Design Engineering and School of Media. The exhibition represents the culmination of years of full-time study and gives our students the opportunity to showcase the results of their imagination, hard work, and creative skills.

Core

Core is a dynamic, collaborative, and flexible learning environment designed to encourage the healthy postural development of primary school students. Core has an angled bench and a narrow body meaning that there is more pressure being exerted on the legs and less pressure being exerted on the lower back which leads to more effective grounding of the feet and pelvis. The bench has standard height seating for traditional learning activities, however, students can remove the top sections of the bench and store them away to create a more flexible space. The circular nature also encourages collaboration amongst students and its ability to rotate around the table reduces the rigidity of the classroom, leaving it feeling spacious and varied. Core is designed so that students can alter the furniture to their specific needs when necessary without any interaction from the teacher.
