Program Overview

Interdisciplinary Design Studio 1

Transforming the Box

The Interdisciplinary Design Studio 1 aims to bring together students and instructors from various disciplines in a collaborative environment. The project, "Transforming the Box," encourages students to think innovatively and explore design processes beyond their disciplinary boundaries. The "box" in this context is a metaphor for an agent hosting means to be used in emergency situations, which can transform and mutate to respond to emergency needs.
