How do designers integrate various disciplines and strands of practice into their designed objects?
How are these ideas realised as designed objects or multidimensional spaces? Designers are renowned
for fusing seemingly diverse references, concepts and materials in order to realise very individual
and innovative objects.
Exploring the nature of designed objects from a craft / art / design context, this exhibition
explores the idea of 'integration' across, between and within design disciplines and highlights the
process for a selection of national and international designers.
With the current interest in 'multi-disciplinary' and 'cross-disciplinary' design,
Integration will examine the breadth of reference points, contexts and how the practice of
integration can and does impact on design.
