When choosing topic for my project I felt the urge to work threedimensionally and develop shapes with my hands. Before starting the industrial design education I had taken some classes in ceramics and now I wanted to integrate ceramics in my design work. My project developed into exploring ceramics and to use its properties in a favourable way in a sustainable product. Flexibility in both form

Walkability can be defined as factors related to the planning-
The purpose of our study was to explore what it is like to have a distressing near-death experience (NDE) and the aftereffects that follow.

Within the software industry it is now common to use the freemium business model; giving away the core product for free while charging for additional premium features. A risk for companies adopting the freemium business model is that the percentage of paying customers is not high enough to both subsidize all the free users and make profit for the company. This thesis investigates how the design o
