Getting together in 2023
What a great way to begin the semester!
Students from the BA (Hons) Interior Architecture & Design and BA (Hons) Furniture & Product Design programme joined together for a warm up project to signify the commencement of the new semester.
The students, both the seniors and the recent new joiners from the Feb Intake, had much fun participating in the programme titled “Vertical Projects”. Among the main aims of the programme were to foster good rapport and teamwork among the seniors and juniors, and at the same time to hone their leadership skills.
