About
Brian Anderson, Assistant Professor of Industrial Design
New Bloom presents a novel approach to digital fabrication that incorporates the integration of traditional Japanese materials in the overall composite system. The technical approach was developed during a 2019 JUSFC grant period in Kyoto, Japan, through facilities housed at KYOTO Design Lab, Kyoto Institute of Technology. Mindful of cultural and ecological sustainability, and assuming a future of bio-based materiality, this project by Brian Anderson, Assistant Professor of Industrial Design, builds on ongoing investigations into natural materials and traditional practices while developing novel computer-driven approaches in fabrication. New Bloom’s raison d’être is to showcase a new paradigm in craft production; it was included in the International Kogei Award exhibition in Toyama, Japan in 2021.
UIC ranks among the nation’s leading research universities and is Chicago’s largest university with 33,000 students, 12,000 faculty and staff, 16 colleges, and the state’s major public health system.
