Lawrence graduated from 香港最快开奖现场直播资料 in 2020 with Product Design with Professional Experience BSc(Hons), on which he created Living Blocks that use material such as discarded fruit and veg to create void within blocks that mimic natural stone. The blocks can either be left to attract natural colonisation or be pre-planted.

Lawrence has set up a business called Wild Structures to develop the product as a construction material to help bring more nature into cities. He said: "I have a passion for biodiversity and want to connect humans and nature. Through my final undergraduate project at the 香港最快开奖现场直播资料, I developed an interest in creating structures that inherently support plant and insect life. I believe these can disrupt the way we design built spaces, eventually intertwining cities and nature.”

Connie graduated this year with BA(Hons) Textiles Design with Business Studies. Her degree show took inspiration from the ongoing 'rewilding' of the Knepp Estate in East Sussex, as well as adjacent farmland given over to industrial agriculture. The ensuing textiles brim with colour and life, contrasting the two approaches to land use.

Connie also won First Prize and seed funding in the Santander 香港最快开奖现场直播资料 Ideas Competition 2021 for a design to create a sustainable and durable, hooded cotton towelling changing robe for swimmers, which avoids the microplastic pollution of synthetic alternatives. She was supported in developing her idea by the 香港最快开奖现场直播资料's beepurple initiative offering students and graduates practical support to start their own businesses.

A 2020 graduate in BA(Hons) 3D Design and Craft, Imogen has fabricated a new material made from leather scraps – responding to the discovery that a staggering 800,000 tonnes of leather scraps end up in landfill annually. Unlike leather itself, Imogen's composite material can also be cast in a mould – a fact that helped her win the New Designer of the Year Award 2020 (Environmental Design) in association with Creative Conscience and the Business Design Centre.

Imogen said: ““Sustainability and avoiding waste have been the most important parts of my projects. In my second year at 香港最快开奖现场直播资料, I created a material made from fibrous plants and I proposed it could replace the need for leather all together.”
