DPD16 Adaptive & Informative Skin<br />
In old nature the appearance of product is often highly informative on<br />
its functioning. Take for instance of a banana: you can buy a banana<br />
when it is still green, and it is already possible to eat it. But when you<br />
wait for the banana to turn yellow, before eating it, its taste will be<br />
completely different. You can choose the proper moment of eating<br />
yourself, when you like the taste of the banana best. The visual<br />
appearance of the banana is more than ‘just a skin’. It is actually<br />
meaningful and provides you with information on how the banana will<br />
taste. In this <strong>project</strong> we will transfer this principle to product design –<br />
think e.g. of the casing of cellphones.<br />

DPD24 Nano Supermarket<br />
The NANO Supermarket presents speculative nanotech products that<br />
may hit the shelves within the next ten years: medicinal candy,<br />
interactive wall paint, a programmable wine, invisible security spray<br />
and much more. It lets people experience the potential impact of<br />
nanotechnology on our everyday lives. It aims to fascilitate debate on<br />
emerging technologies through speculative design.<br />
Based upon contemporary nanotechnological trends, we ask you to<br />
design new products, systems or services for the general public for<br />
the year 2020. Your design should address both the promises as well<br />
as the potential dangers of nanotechnoly.<br />

DPD26 Record of your Life<br />
During the course of history a wide variety of musical<br />
instruments has been developed. From violin, to rhythm guitar,<br />
to beat box machine, instruments allow musicians to ‘control’<br />
their sound in a certain specific manner. The aim of the <strong>project</strong><br />
is to develop a musical instrument that is more than merely a<br />
tool, but rather an autonomous partner of the musician. During<br />
its use, it grows along with the performer. Client is Steim, the<br />
Amsterdam based center for research & development of<br />
electronic performance instruments & tools.<br />

DPD29 Re-Light My Fire<br />
Recently Phillips founded a research lab for designers and developers<br />
with a focus on oled technology. Phillip developed a modular set of<br />
hard and software to experiment with this new technology.<br />
Furthermore Phillips expanded its lightning an design department with<br />
the acquisition of a mayor Italian lightning design brand Luceplan to<br />
express their ambition into the development of light objects for our<br />
living environment.<br />
In this <strong>project</strong>, you will get access to the technology and are invited to<br />
explore the design space and create a visionairy prototype that<br />
demonstrates the future of light.<br />
We will use the components provided by Philips to build our ideas on.<br />
A design and building <strong>project</strong>!<br />

DPD36 Food Technology<br />
Food and food production have been key-elements in societal<br />
change, for instance the transition hunter/gatherer to agriculture and<br />
the infuence of fertilizer on industrial development. Food is also about<br />
the last connection of human kind to old (cultivated) nature.<br />
Developments in food; like understanding cooking chemistry and food<br />
technology have led to new opportunities like molecular gastronomy,<br />
industrialized food production, re-shaping meat through enzyms and<br />
(in the future perhaps) printing food. This opens the doors for Next<br />
Nature and our designers. An investigation in local vs global,<br />
changing eating rituals and Designers’ Food/ Food Design, or in short<br />

DPD37 Future Paint<br />
PPG Architectural Coatings is a largest supplier of decorative<br />
coatings in Europe under the brand names of Histor, Rambo<br />
and Sigma. PPG is at the forefront of developing new products<br />
to meet constantly evolving market demands. We ask you to<br />
combine future trends with new technologies and to translate<br />
them into new future coating concepts aiming at the mass<br />
market for PPG. You can use any media to embody your design<br />
(physical models, graphics, video’s, interactive installations,<br />
augmented reality etc.).<br />
