School Philosophy

Central to the school's philosophy is the commitment to design excellence that demands not only the skillful manipulation of form, but also inspiration from a broad body of knowledge. Instruction and research encompass design theory, as well as visual studies, history, technology and professional practice. The Design School's information infrastructure provides a foundation for design exploration and communication, offering students new ways to access design references, model buildings and present ideas.
