University of Strathclyde Guddle: Designing Futures
'Guddle: Designing Futures' is an exhibition led by the Department of Design, Manufacturing and Engineering Management (DMEM) that showcases design projects by staff and students from across the Faculty of Engineering at the University of Strathclyde in Glasgow. The Scottish word 'guddle' is commonly used as a term for a mess. If we want to shape the world effectively then we need to be able to deal with mess. Design is a creative and transformative force that can help to shape our lives in more responsible, sustainable and valuable ways. Embracing this head-on, Strathclyde showcases ground-breaking projects that hint at what-might-become. Each project is rooted in Glasgow and its surrounding areas, offering innovative ways to design and deliver new outcomes for the city. Ever-growing planetary challenges demand both global and local solutions and to work interconnectedly. Our exhibition provides fresh insights for designing futures.
