Graduate Concentrations

DESIGN TECHNOLOGIES

Simultaneously investigated at various scales ranging from global/local ecologies to building and product development processes, this concentration considers advanced and innovative design technologies as catalytic tools for design inspiration and investigation. The Design Technologies concentration continually examines the transformative opportunities of emerging technologies during all phases of design, from conception through construction and far past completion. Interdisciplinary in nature, the concentration engages itself in emerging and innovative fields of inquiry and research collaborating with the profession as well as pre-established organization within the university, such as CUA Design Collaborative (CUAdc) and the Design Lab. The Design Technologies concentration is comprised of four separate yet inter-related components of specialization: Advanced Material Research and Theory, Computational Design and Morphology, Digital Fabrication and Design/Build, and Sustainable and Environmental Technologies and Theory.
