Winners of the Graphic Design Challenge (Invisible Threads: Visualizing the Unseen Impact) were Zahra Mansour, Deema Albuolayan, and Fatima Bukhamseen, who created“Eyes Wide Open,” a design revealing data about death rates related to air pollution for the years 1990 and 2021 through two adjacent eyes, one representing the older generation and the other the current one. The project emphasized the passing down of knowledge and values from one generation to the next, while highlighting everyone's impact on the environment.
Winners of the Pavilion Design Challenge (City Breathe: Pavilion of Urban Respiration)-Mohamed Alghoneimy, Turki Aljandal, Muzun Bin Rubayan, and Mahmood Alkawi-gathered all the different movements that take place in airports into one place: their pavilion design“The Determinal.” The project applies deconstructivism to represent the movement of people, airplanes amongst others that happen in an airport.
The winners of the Furniture Design Challenge (Reimagine the City: Activating Public Ground for Multispecies Living) saw nature as their muse with their project“Bloom,” which aims to create communication between humans and outdoor creatures. Abdullah Albattat, Ahmed Al Aqran, Nader Al Metairi, Nawaf Al Ghamdi, and Mohammed Albayyabi created a design where birds and plants find water and a home.
“MRG,” the winning project in the Fashion Design Challenge (Sustainable Bag: Biomaterial and Local Legacy), uses sea salt and fish scales to create a sustainable, biodegradable bag that reflects the clarity of the sea-a cherished element in nature that carries stories and memories that remind us of why it should be safeguarded. Winning participants who worked on the project include Ghayda Alnasser, Ebaa Altaweel, and Rawan Alsalem.
