We are excited to share with you the information and application for the CAAD Summer 2021 Summer Design Research Program, "Thinking with Things."

This is a four-week design research program focused on “Thinking with Things”— using (deceptively) simple, analogue prototypes to explore abstract ideas. A central project of summer 2021 will be to prototype a multidisciplinary workshop space in Old Laundry Building: to develop conceptual models for the workshop’s physical layout, to outline a list of key materials, and also to develop protocols and systems that would support the ongoing use of this kind of shared workshop space. After a year of depending on heavily digital forms of learning, we are especially looking forward to working with tangible materials in physical space, as conditions allow.

Students will participate in a series of design methods workshops led by program faculty and visiting guests.They will do archival research and site research, to explore and map analogous spaces at Vassar. They will conduct interviews with students and faculty whose work centers this kind of multidisciplinary, hands-on inquiry. They will make (virtual) site visits to similar kinds of spaces on other campuses.

To learn more about this program, and to apply, please visit https://creativearts.vassar.edu/summer-multi-arts-collectives/

Applications are due on April 5, 2021, we plan to notify selected students by mid-April. The Creative Arts Across Disciplines Summer Program Fund was made possible by the generous donation of Henry Wendt III and Holly P. Wendt '57.
