Skins&Shells

Authors: EKA + HK PolyU

Tutors: Liisi Eesmaa, Piret Puppart, 

Basia Szkutnicka

Photographer: Nick D (Spitgan Magazine)

Skins&Shells is an international collaborative project between the Master´s of Fashion degree students of the Estonian Academy of Arts and Hong Kong Polytechnic University. 1600 Chinese wooden fans, iconic to Asia, were used as a medium to reflect the meaning of "protective membranes" surrounding the existence of life. The outcome resulted in 11 individual statement pieces, each with a narrative, transforming the human silhouette...delicate, dramatic, more than skin-deep.

Pallas University of Applied Sciences, Department of Leather Design, "WoW"

“A bag that doesn’t look like a bag” – this is the task our students get and it tells them to make a story with the help of a product where the form of the classic bag has vanished. Visitor of the exhibition can experience the so-called WOW effect looking at the works where something familiar is telling an unusual story, different from what to expect.

Pallas University of Applied Sciences, “I live here”

City as an environment is the seedbed for ever-changing and developing culture. Creation springs up from the environment and also creates it. The work of Pallas students is the outcome of questions about the relationship between environment and creator, place and people. The authors are both giving and getting, using and creating, valuing the past and visualizing the future. The city is alive until creativity lives there. "I Live Here" is the first display of design of the Pallas University of Applied Sciences.

Masterclass of FH Joanneum in Graz

The masterclass dealt with the question how do we experience space and architecture with our sense of hearing. There have been binaural recording techniques, playback and sound inventions in public space. And the outcome of this masterclass was:

1. DogDay, a audio/video installation transforming the sensual experience from a dogs perspective (audio, vision, electromagnetic fields etc) to the human range.

2. Sounds good sounds Graz - an interactive sound installation, using a taktile floor map to dance the sounds of Graz, especially the University.

3. Sound map - an interactive map reusing the metaphor of childrens tiptoe pen to explore the sounds and sight of special location in Graz.

All sounds have public access and can be heard on Udo Nolls apogee website.

Revitalisation of Former Salt Warehouses in Portoroz

The former salt warehouses are located along a coastal path which connects some of the most beautiful destinations on the Slovene coast. The purpose of this project is to highlight the unexploited opportunities and to find a solution that would take full advantage of the qualities of this space and the two protected buildings through a well defined relation of the area to the wider context. The project establishes a thorough concept for the waterfront, develops a vision for the area of the former warehouses and proposes an intervention into the existing structures, with which the space within the two buildings becomes part of the seafront. With the proposed concept of use, the former warehouses become a new centre of public life, where activities and events for both tourists and locals take place all year round and throughout the day.
