What it is
The Edinburgh College of Art's 2025 graduate show is a university archive of student work across Art, Design, Architecture and Landscape Architecture, History of Art, and Music. The home page pairs a featured graduate carousel with a student list, search, topic links, school menus and curated collections. In the live view, a large violet title panel sits beside a fashion photograph under a compact black-and-white navigation bar. That is the show's interface; individual portfolios contain the students' own visual work.
When to open it
Open it when you want to study a broad graduation catalogue that lets visitors move between disciplines and shared themes, or need examples of how an academic show can support both quick browsing and deeper portfolio visits.
Most useful
- School and discipline menus: jump from Architecture to Design, Art or another school, then narrow to a degree programme.
- Search and student list: find a named graduate or scan a long list of participants.
- View by topic: follow cross-disciplinary themes such as Identity, Digital, Sustainability or Materiality.
- Curated collections and spotlight: see selected groups of projects alongside the main catalogue. At review, Olivia Musson's fashion portfolio showed a colourful garment collection, separate from the site's violet-and-editorial interface.
Using it with agents
No MCP, API, CLI or agent guide surfaced in the show pages at review; a direct /llms.txt request returned 404. Use the browser search, discipline menus and topic links to select references, then describe the page structure, type, colour and interaction you want to study. Do not reuse the portfolio copy or images.
Watch out for
- This is the 2025 archive; the current school navigation also links to live programme pages, so check the year before treating a result as part of the show.
- The site says portfolios may include challenging work and that contributor views are not necessarily University views.
- University terms protect site material and restrict reproduction; featured work has its own creators.
Reusable ideas
- Combine discipline filters with theme tags so visitors can browse across departments without losing the academic context.
- Place a rotating student feature above the catalogue, then offer direct routes to the full student list and curated selections.
- Treat the school menu as a second navigation layer rather than forcing every visitor through one undifferentiated grid.
