LOCATION:
The Estonian Design and Architecture Schools Showcase, which has become one of the integral parts of the Tallinn Design Festival, is increasingly important in a rapidly changing world, because aren't educational and research institutions the places where the play between experimentation and tradition "saves the day"? In the shade of various global crises, there is an increasing need for the light of youthful and clever design.
Showcased are the works of the Estonian Academy of Arts (Fashion, Textile, Accessory; Design and Innovation curricula) Pallas University of Applied Sciences, Tallinn University Haapsalu College (Craft Technologies and Design) and University of Tartu Viljandi Culture Academy (Native Crafts studies).

The focus of the exhibition is the students' creative and analytical approach to the development of the Kalamaja public outdoor space. Students have studied in depth how architectural forms and outdoor space solutions relate to the existing urban space and landscape, creating context-based and functional integrated solutions.
The aim of the Design and Innovation curriculum is to prepare top-level players who are able to meet the challenges of the dynamic labor market, initiate change and lead innovation. The focus of the study is the use of design for successful innovations in all social spheres. The design and innovation graduate is characterized by the ability to transfer versatile practice driven by the needs of the digital and green revolution and the designer's mindset into real life through strong professional skills.
Curator: Maali Roomet-Allese

#kardinaalne #curtaincreatures
“Curtain Creatures” is EAA's fashion, textile, and accessories students’ exhibition of experimental shapes with the mission of fair, creative and inspiring reuse of leftover materials. In the wake of an increasingly acute problem, this time the authors had to deconstruct curtains and create a new identity for them.
This exhibition gives the visitor the opportunity to actively reflect on critical aspects of consumer society, taking the viewer on an inspirational journey of sorts. A total of around 40 creators contributed to the birth of experimental forms and spatial solutions.
Supervisors: Liisi Eesmaa, Flo Kasearu
Production: Piret Puppart
Photographer: Riina Varol

The aim of an international week-long intensive course in August 2024 was to design and craft wooden-soled footwear inspired by the cultural heritage of the Lake Peipus district. So here they are!
Organiser: Dept. of Accessory Design, Estonian Academy of Arts
Tutors: Simone Springer (Rosa Mosa, AT), Kristiina Nurk (EKA), Meelis

Everyone poops! Feces, or poop, is a metabolic waste product that results from the food we consume being broken down by bacteria in the large intestine. The act of excretion is a natural function of the body. This stigmatized bodily activity can be particularly challenging for individuals with chronic gut diseases (CGD), where the urgency to defecate or changes in bowel habits can be a prominent struggle.
Exhibition “From Waste to Wonder” aims to break down the stigma around poop by reconnecting it with nature and exploring more-than-human connections through multi-sensory engagements with biomaterials.
Arife Dila Demir is a researcher of the Sensorial Design Research Group of EKA, the exhibition is created as part of the 'Multi-Sensory Design for Somatic Care' project supported by EKA's Creative Research Grant.

#multifacetedspace
Abstract and physical, mental and dimensional, natural and created, inspiring and imposing – all these describe the space around us. “Multifaceted Space” by Pallas UAS presents the meaning and interpretations of space as it can be understood in the literal as well as in abstract sense (e.g. living space, exhibition space vs cyberspace, headspace, developmental space).
The exhibition is inspired by the idea of the limitlessness of space – there are an infinite number of ways to give meaning to and create sustainable, aesthetic and environmentally friendly space in various design fields. __________________________________tlu.ee/haapsalu/kasitootehnoloogiad-ja-disain
The Handicraft Technologies and Design program at Haapsalu College focuses on human-centered and sustainable design, emphasizing user needs and creative problem-solving. Students learn to work with materials like wood, metal, glass, and plastics-resins, while also exploring modern technologies and solutions for giving materials a new life.
The curriculum promotes entrepreneurial thinking and values circular economy principles in new product concepts. These are developed from concept to execution, guided by the needs of the target group.

The native crafts specialities of the University of Tartu Viljandi Culture Academy combine excellent craftsmanship, knowledge of heritage, and creative thought. Our activities aim to apply the values found in the heritage in a responsible and sustainable way to the service of modern society. As part of the university, we value research and development.
At the level of applied higher education, you can study textiles, metalwork, construction, and regenerative technology (NEW!). At the master's level, you can study the creative application of cultural heritage and teaching skills.
