Design for Manufacture Conference 2023
Graduating Design for Manufacture MArch students will present the outcome of their research projects. This year they engaged in speculation regarding the practice of 're-manufacturing'.

This event is taking place at UCL at Here East.
About
To bring together the past fifteen months of research and explorations graduating Design for Manufacture students will present the outcome of their research projects over a two day conference at UCL at Here East.
Over the course of the past two and a half centuries, manufacturers have consistently strived to trade resource consumption across various contexts to maximize profit. Even before the industrial revolution, medieval craft guilds adhered to similar principles, emphasizing excellence through efficiency, until their decentralized knowledge was consolidated into production centres to meet the demands of global trade. Simultaneously, the field of Design for Manufacture emerges as a novel discipline, formalizing an approach that integrates resource and contextual awareness into the design process to create additional diverse values.
At the core of the Design for Manufacture MArch lies a deep fascination with the tangible qualities and inherent values within the act of creation. The programme engages with pressing global challenges that are consistent with students' independent explorations in materials and techniques of production. Sustaining investigative research within the Architectural Engineering and Construction sector.
It may appear futile to invest time and effort in devising solutions for a sector where self-interests remain largely unregulated by competition. Especially when the act of recognising current circumstances risks the taking on of heavy losses. The outcomes in the AEC sector reveal a shared imagination bound by specific solution-oriented demands, often tailored to requirements with limited relevance to the modern world we inhabit.
