The Design Academy Eindhoven celebrated its 75th anniversary in 2022 with more than 200 Bachelor’s and Master’s projects catalogued in this book, with a reflection on the evolving identity and works of the student body. Every year, thousands of visitors attend the graduation show, which is one of the world’s most influential exhibitions by new designers. Responding on climate crises to digitisation, the new alumni engage with a range of presentation formats, performances, and hybrid practices to explore potential new futures, offer critiques on our current reality, and engage with complex ideas about what design is, what it does, and what it should do.
Project descriptions and essays are set in Maison by Milieu Grotesque and project titles are set in Self Modern by Bretagne. Other headings are set in MAD Sans by Colophon which is part of Design Academy Eindhoven’s visual identity.
