Developed by RIT Professor Josh Owen in 2010 as an industrial design course with an industry partner "Metaproject” is now running in its sixth generation.
The course results will be juried and then shown during design week in New York City in May of 2016. RIT will publish a case study book which chronicles the methodology and output from the course, shedding light on the design process. The “Design is One” philosophy exposed by the Vignelli Center for Design Studies will be overlaid into the conversation, linking the work thematically to the Vignelli Center. The official sponsor will be revealed, following tradition, on the first day of class.

“Design matters. It has an increasingly important role to play in our day-to-day lives. The collaboration that occurs through Metaproject, provides our students, faculty, and industry partners, with a remarkable experience in which design becomes a journey of mindful practice and unique collaboration. The high caliber of engagement, invention, and inclusive design that takes place during this experience is notable and remarkable.

R Roger Re*****on famously used this gesture as "V for Vignelli" at the inauguration of the Vignelli Center for Design Studies, 10 years ago. Now moving into the Center's 10th year and our 10th Meta project, we use it again to celebrate our collaboration. Thanks for capturing the moment, Elizabeth Torgerson-Lamark

The time is drawing near for the reveal of the tenth project. Here is a quote from the third:
“Design, as Metaproject 03 shows, is the by-product of intellectual elegance… As I have always said, in design it is not WHAT you do that counts, but HOW you do it that is relevant. Once again, Metaproject is a live demonstration of this principle.”
Massimo Vignelli, Designer
