Rhode Island School of Design Department of Furniture Design SymposiumMarch 20 & 21, 2014 The Department of Furniture Design at Rhode Island School of Design is hosting a Symposium for the purposes of exploring the role of materials knowledge, research, critical making and engagement in expanding opportunities in art and design. Department pedagogy reflects the belief that relationships between ideas and applied skills, knowledge building and the material world all feature in the social connectivity that is central to effective practice. With a focus on objects, the curriculum encourages diverse work in the broad area of human scale experience. Through a series of events, workshops and discussions including students, faculty and guests, we propose a unique and engaging experience.
