Mapping CDes
This spread graphically interprets the College of Design's organizational structure, as visualized by Steven McCarthy, associate professor of graphic design. The surrounding images were taken during a trip he and his students made between the St. Paul and East Bank campuses -- out by bus, back by foot. The documentation is part of a class project to "animate the geographic and conceptual corridor" connecting the units of the new College of Design. Students' concept maps orbit the composition.

The Goldstein Museum of Design
Founded in 1976, the Goldestein Museum of Design is based on the collection of Harriet and Vetta Goldstein, professors in the University's Design Department from 1910 to the late 1940s, and their philosophy that well-designed objects enhance the quality of daily life. The Goldstein is the only dedicated museum of design in the country located in a design college. Full story
