Green Challenge 365

Green Challenge 365 is an educational calendar created to encourage the saving of wooden disposable products. The set includes a calendar printed with a bare tree, one leaf-shaped stamp and a green ink pad. One leaf stamp may be added each day when disposable wood items such as paper cups, wooden chopsticks and paper sleeves are avoided. As participation continues, the printed tree fills with green leaves. The growing image shows the time and effort needed to raise a tree. The calendar is distributed to educational institutions without charge.

Joyful Visang

Joyful Visang is a series of elementary school textbooks for mathematics, social studies and science. The textbooks are centred on play and activity to support active participation by students. Each cover reflects the subject content: geometric shapes form familiar objects for mathematics, an unfolding view of the world for social studies, and stories of heroes for science. Rounded corners and an antibacterial coating improve safety. A foldable flap serves as a bookmark, a perforated area allows name writing, and lenticular printing adds a three-dimensional effect.

Full Su Rok is a workbook series made for high school students preparing for the Korean college entrance examination. The series contains twenty workbooks of sample questions from previous tests and two mock exam books, arranged as a thirty-day plan with a set amount of daily practice. Explanations for correct and incorrect answers are written in a concise style for quick reading. Answer sheets and test papers are included, so mock tests can be taken alone. Complementary colors and a matte coating help separate the volumes.

Aum

AUM British Building is a university campus created within a 19th century heritage building in Senglea. The building was severely damaged during the Second World War and later fell into disuse. The historic fabric was restored carefully, and the structure was rehabilitated for contemporary use. The campus contains classrooms, laboratories, offices, a library, an internal garden and a cafeteria that remains open to the public. Contemporary materials were chosen to stay visually distinct from the original fabric. Exposed services and riveted steel beams recall the industrial past.
