To expand critical dialogue on design education, engaging the public,
academia, and practice, the NDSU Department of Architecture and
Landscape Architecture will host a symposium addressing “the future of
design education,” featuring panel discussions and open forums between
diverse participants of strong national, regional, and local
reputation in design fields.
The symposium is proposed to coincide with the 100-year anniversary of
the founding of the Department, and in this context, will provide an
opportunity for participants to critically reflect on the trajectory
of design education over a considerable time period, even as they
speculate about future directions.
Through the venue of panel discussions and open forums scheduled over
a two-day period, invited speakers will address aspirations,
challenges, and anticipated goals for design education from their
unique perspectives. By bringing a diverse roster of speakers
together, the symposium also seeks to build collaboration and catalyze
future inquiry.
Admission is free and open to the public.
