Doctor of Design: Program Overview Information Session (Virtual)

The climate crisis, rising social inequality, and the digital revolution of smart cities, computational design, and robotic fabrication are rewriting the way cities are being designed, built, and operated. This creates enormous opportunities for architects, planners, and landscape architects to expand their practice, increase their value to clients, and make a bigger and more positive impact in the world. Mid-career professionals have the experience to identify and capitalize on these opportunities but often need a framework to help bring these ideas to life. SAPL’s Doctor of Design (DDes) program is a place for motivated professionals to develop their particular response to these opportunities and get them ‘project-ready’ for integration into practice.

Join Dean John Brown and Professor Barry Wylant for a program overview, discussion about the design-based curriculum, time commitment, eligibility criteria, and samples of current student projects. We will also have time for questions at the end of the session.
