The Design Center is committed to investigating the uses, effects and meanings of design in our everyday lives. Through research, collecting, exhibitions, community outreach, The Design Center seeks to foster meaningful conversations concerning the impact of design on community, our health and our welfare. To achieve these goals, The Center places particular emphasis on school-age children and college students as potential catalysts for responsive design in the 21st century. In addition to its programs, The Design Center houses a nationally recognized collection of textiles, costumes, accessories, and fabric swatches that is available for use by scholars and researchers from industry. |
