Here we have my work from my first year at university, our brief was to create a piece of furniture that had multiple purposes and would in some way benefit the students using it.

​

AS FEES RISE AND UNIVERSITIES COMPETE FOR STUDENTS, MUCH IS TALKED ABOUT IMPROVING THE STUDENT EXPERIENCE’. BUT, EVEN WITH THE HELP OF PROFESSIONAL DESIGNERS, UNIVERSITIES STRUGGLE TO OFFER NEW FACILITIES OR IMPROVEMENTS MORE STIMULATING THAN OUT-OF-TOUCH CORPORATE FURNISHINGS, CARPET AND MORE BRANDED COFFEE. RESEARCH SHOWS THAT, FROM A STUDENT’S POSITION THE EXPERIENCE THAT THEY REALLY WANT IS “TO LEARN WHAT THEY DO NOT KNOW” AND THEN TO ENJOY A STUDENT-CENTRED QUALITY OF LIFE THAT HAS CONTRASTINGLY LITTLE TO DO WITH ACADEMIC RESULTS. IN A SENSE, A UNIVERSITY IS A COMMUNITY OF PEOPLE WHO COME TOGETHER TO LEARN SPECIFIC SUBJECTS AND TO THRIVE THROUGH COLLECTIVE EXPERIENCE. TOGETHER THEY DEVELOP SKILLS, SOCIAL AND ACADEMIC, FOR A FUTURE BEYOND THEIR LEARNING INSTITUTION. SOLUTION - THE THREE MAIN PROBLEMS I FOUND UNI STUDENTS IS MONEY FOOD AND SLEEP , FOOD AND SLEEP HAS ALREADY BE WIDELY INVESTIGATED BY MY PEERS SO I HAVE DECIDED TO FOCUS MY EFFORTS ON MONEY AND WILL MAKE A SHOP FOR STUDENTS AND RUN BY STUDENTS FOR THEM TO EXCHANGE THERE OLD STUDY BOOKS , GENERAL ITEMS AND THINGS STUDENTS MAKE , IN ORDER TO MAKE LITTLE EXTRA CASH , THE IDEA IS ALSO THAT CERTAIN SOCIETIES AND EVENTS CAN RENT THE STRUCTURE TO PROMOTE WHATEVER IT IS THEY ARE SELLING.
