International Surface and Spatial Design Project

The project is an India and UK Collaborative Design project between the British Council India, Pearl Academy and MMU. The brief requires participants to propose a surface-focused interior spatial concept, which collaboratively celebrates Indian and British Textile Heritage within a contemporary Indo-British spatial context.

Participants will also propose a Colour Material Finish (CMF) concept board and surface-focused interior spatial concept, which collaboratively celebrates Indian and British Textile Heritage within a contemporary Indo-British spatial context.  

Inspiration will be informed by cross-cultural notions of place and design contexts, considering the potential to reinvent space through the integration of surface Innovation, colour, materials and pattern.

Working in research groups, students will collaborate across cultures and disciplines, produce innovative spatial concepts, engage with material research, surface design and contemporary design practice, developing breadth in professional portfolios whilst also developing creative, professional and collaborative skillsets. 

You will gain international peer feed-back and the project will be concluded by an international critique. 

Participants will compile a final digital submission to present to your external audience.

The collaboration will result in a live spatial intervention within a designated British Council exhibition space in India, celebrating cross-cultural design narratives and showcasing collaborative projects and concepts.

There is an opportunity for two students to go India later in the year to curate and set-up the final show, which will be displayed at the British Council Head Quarters in New Delhi, India.
