Four design diploma projects in the spirit of sustainability

Date: 2023.08.18

Sustainability plays an undeniably crucial role in design. That is why our Design Institute chose it as one of the four main themes of the 2023 diploma works, next to ‘Craft’, ‘Social’ and ‘Emotional’. The following four diploma works explored sustainable concepts in real-life situations.

BabKa ceramic stove

Martina Kovács, Ceramic Design MA, designed an alternative heating solution that answers the increased demand due to the energy crises and the need for environmentally conscious options: ‘BabKa” is an easy-to-assemble, cost-effective and eco-friendly ceramic stove.

Algae biofarm

Melinda Doktor, Ceramic Design MA, proposed ann concept for the future of food consumption. Her algae biofarm is a compact cultivation unit that covers the entire consumption cycle while also considering human scale, usage and ability to be integrated into urban environments.

MiConn

Dóra Sziláyi, Ceramic Design MA, focused on biodesign, explores cultivated materials: her diploma work titled “MiConn” combines textile industry waste with mycelium, detailing the new composite material’s production process and potential application.

I Circle Back to Myself

Valentin Szarvas, Fashion and Textile Design MA, designed a collection under the guidance of Dóra Tomcsányi that structures a wardrobe around material and cut, exploring the topics of circularity, circular systems and sustainability as a process.

The University of the Future enters a new phase - the Senate has approved the implementation plan

The University of the Future initiative is a key focus this year, aimed at MOME’s comprehensive revitalisation. Thanks to persistent efforts over recent months, working groups have developed a detailed implementation plan for the University of the Future programme, a.k.a. the “Three Schools model”, which was unanimously accepted in December 2023. The process has now reached a new milestone: on 18 July, the Senate has pledged its support for the plan, paving the way for continued collaborative work to implement the new structure by next winter and to transform MOME into one of Europe's leading design higher education institutions.

MOME to feature at the Campus exhibition of the Ars Electronica 2024 festival

Our University has been invited to exhibit at one of the world's most prestigious digital art festivals, the Ars Electronica 2024. Each year, the Campus series of the long-standing festival presents an art university. This year's exhibition is organised in collaboration with the University of Linz, and will feature outstanding student diploma works from recent years in Linz's main square selected by curators Judit Eszter Kárpáti, Esteban de la Torre, and Ágoston Nagy.

From now on, MOME graduates are given a Heritage of the Future symbol to take home upon graduation

A new symbol has been added to the range of memorabilia that members of the MOME community can receive as they reach various milestones in their university careers. This new emblem, which reinforces a sense of belonging, is a turned and machined bronze item with a polished surface based on the letter ‘O’ in MOME’s logo. Designed by MOME MA teacher Krisztián Ádám at the initiative of Rector József Fülöp, this symbol will be awarded to all graduates at all levels along with the diplomas starting in 2024.
