Dear List
As exhibitions continue to develop as a significant form of research output, coming second to journal publication in terms of number of items submitted to the Art and Design Unit of Assessment for REF2014, the Design Practice Research Group (DPRG) have made their first venture into this form of public engagement. I would therefore like to draw the attention of members of the List to the Concrete Innovation exhibition that opened at the National Centre for Craft and Design over the weekend.
The exhibition runs from 12 December 2015 to 28 February 2016 and captures an Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council funded research project to explore the commercial and creative potential of the emerging technology of 3D concrete printing. As the objectives for the project were largely delivered through the creative practice of artists/designers, the exhibition features seven appearance models and is supported by an eight minute video. Details of the exhibition are available at http://www.nationalcraftanddesign.org.uk/#concrete-innovation
If you are unable to visit the exhibition and interested in the work, a video that captures the project and an internal exhibition at Loughborough Design School is available on the Resources section of the DPRG website at http://www.lboro.ac.uk/departments/lds/research/groups/design-practice/resources/
Thanks
