BUILT
Built is a Temporary Design Store selling products from local art and design students and Alumni based in Edmonton, Alberta. Every product is created by students who have gained skills in manufacturing and design from their degree in Industrial and Visual Communication Design as well as Fine Arts. These products are often self exploratory projects that students create on their own time, and are unique items that are made to high quality, professional standards.

3rd annual built shop Comes to a Close!
Another successful year completed!
On December 21st, 2016, the talented students from the U of A design program closed the third annual “pop up” shop, called Built. The shop included over 70 items designed, branded and manufactured by students, ranging from jewelry and housewares, to prints and furniture. This event took place at Kingsway Mall.
We would like to thank everyone who came out and supported Built. Our opening night was a huge success, and it continued on throughout the next ten days.

The Student Design Association set up Pop Pop as a temporary design shop to sell University of Alberta student design work, and was located on Jasper Avenue, Edmonton, AB. Pop Pop is an annual event that typically runs in December as an opportunity for students to develop and sell work to the public. We place emphasis on quality and creativity, carrying a range of products from furniture and clothing, to jewelry and housewares. Both years have been quite financially successful, with 75% of profits going directly back to participating students. This is a time-lapse of Pop Pop's set up and reception, created by Rebecca Cormier and Colton Lockridge.
Check out our final sales report from the 2015 built Shop. It was a Massive success all thanks to every party involved!
