In collaboration with the Food Innovation and Research Centre, Singapore (FIRC), this 15-week learning journey enabled DXPD students to develop their research techniques and insight translation in relation to youth’s snacking habits as well as their notion of food and health. Students were challenged to look into various trending areas relevant to youths such as their nocturnal lifestyle, their pursuit for beauty in body and skin, part-time working vs studying, as well as social media and food trends for youths.
Through a series of design research exercises, students gathered interesting findings about youths. These findings were then synthesised as key insights, before they were translated into relevant experiential healthy snacking concepts. This publication compiles the research and insights about youths today, and the design concepts on healthier snacks developed by the students in this studio.
