Master’s study in Future Design culminates in a challenging, self-defined degree project that taps into each student's strengths, interests and experiences, resulting in a public showing of their work.
Meetback
Simon Rico
Meetback is a web app that converts feedback from meetings into actionable insights. The app targets two main end users, meeting organizers and meeting attendees. As an Organizer, you can request feedback on the meeting using survey templates which includes driver questions that Meetback uses to calculate advanced statistics about the meeting such as NPS (Net Promoters Score) Efficiency, Usefulness, Duration, Attendance and more. As an Attendee, meetback offers you an anonymous way to leave feedback to the meeting organizer without revealing your name.
Self-Sustained Energy System [RES2050]
Zhyldyz Shaiymbetova
The project sees a future in which energy system in the city is more interconnected but also more self-sufficient. It proposes a citywide, multi scale energy network that collects, distributes, and stores natural resources and energy, creating exchanges that reduce waste and emissions and thereby resemble an ecosystem.
MycoRecovery
Ayna Pirkuliyeva
Fungi are the circulatory and nervous systems of nature, and the providers of nutrition, remediation, healing, and spiritual awakening. MycoRecovery is a speculative future that aims to heal our planet using mycelium - the vegetative part of fungi consisting of networks of threadlike cells. This chapter of MycoRecovery focuses on dealing with the fastest growing waste stream in the world - discarded electrical and electronic devices, known by the umbrella term of e-waste. Following the waste management hierarchy, the narrative proposes a vision for dealing with e-waste, applying mycelium at the stages of recycling and disposal. To initiate the transition toward this vision, we share a curated library of relevant projects by scientists, citizen mycologists, designers, artists, and other fungi enthusiasts, both connected to e-waste management and other fields.
It takes a fool to remain sane - how life keeps running thanks to your digital alterego.
Alessandra Vuillermin
It takes a fool to remain sane is a speculative research regarding the phenomenon of interaction between the physical world dimension and the digital world. Starting from the NFT crossing physical world economy and leading to the visual expression of the two instances mentioned above, my whole research is based on how we perceive today's world according to the relationship between physical and digital.
