Diplomprosjekt

Computers are our personal companions that many had access to long before they could walk. To some extent, we have developed an excellent understanding of how to operate a personal computer. However, what do we really know about computer maintenance and how to best fix them? The lack of basic hardware knowledge and some practical repairing skills results in the increased rate of computer electronics disposal. Thus, leaving Norway on the top of E-waste generation chart in the world.  

Throughout the year, the workers of the Norwegian Air ambulance face difficult rescues and challenging environments.  In these scenarios, they use a dedicated helmet with additional equipment according to the rescue operation.
This project takes aim at solving issues that they are currently experiencing with their existing equipment.
 
By integrating adjustable ventilation and technical equipment, this search and rescue helmet provides increased comfort in all scenarios, with a reduced number of add-ons.

In all of the world’s seas, oceans, and waterways, fishing gear is continually lost and discarded. As a result, animals become captured, only to die from starvation, predation, cannibalism, disease, or poor water quality. When caught animals die, they, in turn, attract scavengers, thus creating a cycle of death.
 

DYPP is a design diploma exploring the future potential of seaweed as bioplastic through strategic use of design. Based on our own explorations, interviews and feedback from experts, our design proposal consists of a roadmap and four future scenarios. The aim of the roadmap is to create an overview and illustrate key steps and relations between the industry, government and research departments. To exemplify a possible development, we have designed four future scenarios using seaweed for packaging. The scenarios are illustrated through physical touchpoints and future trends.
