“I’ll be
taking a truck over to France after graduation and would be grateful for any
donations that people could give to help the refugees. Winter season sleeping
bags and blankets, warm waterproof jackets (particularly in small and medium
sizes) , good quality complete tents and good condition walking and hiking
boots would be particularly welcome,” she said. “Also smaller items such as
toiletries, warm hats and scarves for children would be very much appreciated.”

PDE 25
Highflying designers from
across the world will gather in Glasgow this weekend to celebrate 25 years of
Product Design Engineering. Established by the industrial designer and former
GSA Director, Professor Dugald Cameron, the programme has produced some of the leading
designers of their generation. Graduates have gone on to senior roles in
companies including Apple, Dyson, Lego,
TomTom, BMW and more. Others have established their own successful
companies including Fearsome
(sponsors of PDE 2016), 4c Design –
creators of the iconic Queen’s Baton for the 2014 Commonwealth games – and Aircraft Medical, which was recently
sold to Medtronic plc for $110 million.

“It was one of most memorable days
of my life when the Institution of Mechanical Engineers gave its enthusiastic
accreditation to the Production Design Engineering programme,” says Prof. Cameron. “It was almost certainly the first time that
they had been engaged with an art school at undergraduate level. The students
overwhelmed them and ensured our success.”

“PDE recognizes that experiences
and innovation come from bringing together design and technology,” says Etienne Iliffe-Moon (PDE –
1994), Director of Industrial Design BMW (San Francisco). “I was sold on PDE the day I turned up for the interview,” adds
Scott McGuire (PDE 2003) Global Engineering Director Dyson. “More like a design review, the discussion was all around
my product ideas for a new world that would solve tomorrow’s challenges. The
pitch and rationale for the pre-work was that PDE wanted to create the best
British Innovators, Engineers and Designers of the future. Straight out of High
School, I couldn’t be more inspired by that bold ambition.”

MACKINTOSH SCHOOL OF ARCHITECTURE AT THE GSA
Stage 3, 4 and 5 Architecture students are once again
showing at Degree Show in the Bourdon Building (Garnethill). Among the projects on show in 2016 is The
Liveable City, an initiative undertaken by Stage 4 students with Brian Evans,
Professor of Urbanism at the GSA, and James
Stockford of Harvard University Graduate School. An internationally respected expert on social housing and community
development Stockford, was commissioned by the US congress to undertake
a Public Housing Operating Cost Study and he served on the Cambridge MA
Housing Authority for 30 years. He is at the GSA on a Fulbright
Fellowship.

Among the contexts explored by Stage 3 Architecture
students was the site of the GSA’s new Creative Campus, Highlands and Islands.
Blair Steading is a group of Listed Italianate buildings on the Altyre Estate
near Forres. Eugenio Cappuccio says “I believe strongly in the importance of
context, and a careful understanding of the urban fabric into which
architecture should be woven, be it cultural, social, functional or
aesthetic. An emphasis on transition requires subtlety in form. In order to
achieve that harmony between old and new, it was necessary to create moments
where there is a balance of form and texture. Framing instances of the old
architecture using the new, this created a juxtaposition of different periods
within a common typological style.”

Among the textiles projects
being showcased is a prayer rug by Mariam Syed. Mariam says, “when
my son turned seven I wanted to present him with his own prayer rug to cherish.
But after endless browsing, I realized that the prayer rugs available were the
traditional Persian designs in mostly dark colours and an image of the Kaaba or
the Medina Mosque. To encourage my son to pray, I decided to design a prayer
rug that was both exciting and encouraging for a young child.”

students on the three Communication Design pathways – photography, illustration

22-year old Lucy Payne from New Mills whose project focuses on “unsung heroes” throwing
a spotlight on the GSA cleaners. “I chose to follow and document the
women who clean the school as they often go unnoticed by many of the staff and
students,” says
Lucy. “I wanted to highlight the hard
work they do.” Lucy chatted to the cleaners and sketched them then
translated the drawings into etchings. She brought them together into a book
which gives a personal look at the women and the jobs they do. The book is
called ‘There’s More To Us Than Just a
Flossy‘. “The name was thought up by the cleaners,” explains Lucy. “A flossy being
a sweeping brush.” Lucy also remade the traditional cleaning tabard, which
is normally navy blue and plain, by using a brightly coloured fabric, printed
with her drawings

Sophia Sheppard has made a beautiful short documentary film, ‘With The Rising Tide’, which is about
communities coming together through a boat building project. The Scottish
Rowing Project’ started in Anstruther in Fife. Supported by the The Scottish
Fisheries Museum, the first St Ayles Skiff was built in 2009. Today
hundreds of boats have been built all over the UK as well as further afield in
the US, Canada and New Zealand. The film explores themes associated with our
seafaring heritage, our relationship with the sea and a passion for rowing. Looking
on some of the people who have been involved in various boat building projects
around Scotland, the film particularly focuses on Frank Whyte, whom the central
narrative of the film is structured. A boat builder and fisherman from
Findhorn, Franks enthusiasm and positivity for the boats, rowing and the sea is
inspirational. Sadly, just after filming had finished, Frank drowned
whilst out on one of his beloved boats in the Moray Firth and it is to him the film
has been dedicated.

Emma Levy
has produced an extensive observational photography project called ‘National
Park’, which explores themes associated with national identity, borders, ethnic
tensions and environmental issues in a post conflict region. Using a blend of
documentary, landscape and portraiture compiled together in a beautifully
designed and intimate book, Emma takes us on a journey through The Sharr
Mountain National Park in Kosovo, where the physical ecology continues to
degenerate with pollution, illegal logging, and over development. The tone of
the work is whispered and implied rather than specific, it is as much about the
whole rather than individual images. There is an overall sense of something
brooding – the unsaid and the hidden. The park like the people within it, still
bares the bruises of a brutal conflict.

Among the product design projects being
showcased is a major “live” project undertaken by GSA students in partnership
with the Royal Bank of Scotland. A
collaborative project between the two institutions, it explored the future of
banking and financial services in the UK, with a focus on Generation Y (current
16 – 25 year olds). This generation has little conception of or attachment to
traditional financial services, therefore RBS sees them as incredibly
influential in terms of how they design and develop services. There were
four research domains identified by RBS as particularly interesting in terms of
Gen Y: ‘Saving and Spending’, ‘Safety and Security’, ‘New Values’ and the
‘Omnichannel Experience’. Groups of students worked on each domain with
students and RBS staff exchanging knowledge, sharing ideas and ways of working
to inform the direction the project took and the shape the outcomes. The Saving
and Spending team designed a series of objects entitled ‘Feeling Financial
Health’: textured bankcards which represent various stages of how
financial health could be interpreted and displayed. The cards change state to
reflect the financial situation of the user in real time.

multi-media installations, photography and paintings including Painting &
Printmaking student, Georgina Clapham’s, portraits of fellow students. One of
her works, Ideal Portrait of a Man is
featured on the Degree Show marketing materials. Georgina says of the work: “The subject depicted is a transgender woman; it is a contemporary
response to the ‘Ideal Beauty Portraits’ popular in Renaissance Italy which
epitomised a male idealisation of female beauty.” Meanwhile Fine Art Photography student Megan Roberts’ Urine Cake is exactly
