Bio-based
The Department of the Built Environment showcases research into smart, bio-based materials like aerogels, flax composites, and clay. These are shaped using robotic fabrication and other advanced techniques, including 3D printing, to support circular design, reduce waste, and enable responsive, sustainable architecture.
Societal impact
The Department of Industrial Design demonstrates how students can initiate social change through their designs. Using interactive prototypes and collaborative projects, students explore themes such as empowerment, digital-physical integration, and transdisciplinary design.
Future
The exhibition reflects TU/e’s commitment to sustainability-driven innovation, where technology, creativity, and collaboration come together to shape resilient, low-carbon solutions, preparing designers and researchers to create real change in society and the world around us.
