About The Common Design Studio:

Common Design Studio is an international collaborative design project, involving students and staff from RMIT University Melbourne and Vietnam as well as London College of Communication / University of Arts London and ELISAVA, Barcelona. The studio seeks to address non-trivial issues that connect participants in different parts of the world through a concern for planetary health. We explore positive futures made possible through knowledge sharing and design as a means of action.

About Data: Beyond Numbers

For 2025, Data: Beyond Numbers showcases student and staff work from the Common Design Studio that investigates the role and impact of data in contemporary life; how we use data, how data is used to shape our behaviour and world, and how we might move into sustainable, ethical futures with growing dependence and responsibility for the huge amounts of data that now exists around us.

This project is exhibited as part of Melbourne Design Week 2025, an initiative of the Victorian Government in collaboration with the NGV.
