Brutalist Mold Making Project

Students needed to identify an everyday household container or
organizer or the need for/function of a vessel, and the location in
which this vessel will be located.

Chindōgu Project

Chindōgu (珍道具) is the practice of inventing ingenious everyday gadgets
that seem to be ideal solutions to particular problems, but which may
cause more problems than they solve. The term is of Japanese origin.
Chindōgu translates to “unusual tool.”
Students needed to identify a problem(s) in their everyday life and design
a solution for said problem.
