- Past students have worked on projects such as the transformation of the historic Cooper's Marmalade Factory in Oxford into a vibrant learning hub celebrating vernacular architecture by merging traditional craftsmanship with modern educational needs. They have also worked on more intimate projects such as 'Forgotten Grief' —this had the purpose of exploring grief-experiences while bringing awareness about grief, increasing socialisation and assisting individuals to grow through their journey.
