Re-Fabricate are seeking participation from Industrial and Product Designers!

A new collaborative research programme has recently been launched for young creative professionals. 

Re-Fabricate is an innovative new initiative intended to offer young creative and craft professionals an opportunity to work together to combat the considerable issue of waste in the construction industry. The project allocates participants into multi-skilled teams and together they research and develop a prototype or intervention that looks at how a specific material such as timber or plastic can be used in a more cyclical way. In the final proposal, teams must show how this new material prototype can intervene with our urban environment to enable self-sustaining cities with a reduced environmental impact. Full details of the brief can be found on our website: www.re-fabricate.co.uk. 

The project is scheduled to begin in the New Year and will last for four months. Over this period there will be a series of networking events to mark the progress of our teams and an exhibition of the final proposals at completion.The committee is currently looking for Industrial and Product Designers to partake in the project!
