With nearly 1000 applications from across Victoria , 81 students were selected across 9 design studies by a panel of expert educators. Exploring technology, materiality, sustainability, and community practice, these works demonstrate the research and experimentation involved in the development of responsive design.  

Top Designs is presented as part of the VCE Season of Excellence, a five-month annual festival showcasing outstanding works across art, design, technology, multimedia, film, dance, theatre, drama, music, literature and research – all created by exceptional VCE students.
