New exhibition on view in the Druker Design Gallery starting August 26!

"Infrastructure in a Time of Flux: Methods, Conditions, and Situations" explores how designers can respond to a world increasingly defined by environmental disruption, political instability, technological transformation, migration, and rapidly changing patterns of habitation. While the design disciplines have traditionally privileged permanence and stability, architects, engineers, urban designers, and planners have We are living through an era marked by profound environmental, social, political, and technological transformations. Yet architecture, urban design, and planning remain more invested in imagining permanence than in engaging with change. These disciplines have privileged stability, order, and enduring form, frequently treating transformation as a condition to be managed rather than as a productive force in shaping the future.

At the same time, architects, engineers, and urbanists have developed elegant and innovative methods of building and as well as have imagined urban interventions that employ lightweight structural systems. to challenge conventional assumptions about materiality, enclosure, and permanence. Their experiments demonstrate how minimal means could produce expansive spatial possibilities, generating an extraordinary repertoire of adaptable and resource-efficient structures.

The exhibition is curated by Rahul Mehrotra, John T. Dunlop Professor in Housing and Urbanization, and Dan Borelli, director of exhibitions.

Healthcare design is complex, technical and challenging. It is also fascinating,
human-centered, research-based and ever-changing. Hospitals are buildings with
multiple needs and uses, where the opportunities to enhance the user experience
through holistic design are endless. As members of an industry that actively uses
research to improve guidelines, designers are continuously challenged to excel and
innovate not only on their final product, but also through their process. So, what does
the concept of “Holistic Healthcare Design” really mean?

Join us at our next Scholar Series where Diana Araoz-Fraser and Emily Dickinson will discuss this topic and give us a clearer insight to healthcare design!
