FLOW By John Arndt, Assistant Professor
The UO School of Architecture and Allied Arts is proud to launch the new program in product design. This program provides a thorough grounding in the use, invention and production of consumer products. It integrates the theories and applied practices of the art, architecture, and design disciplines with business, humanities, and science.
This product design program uniquely exposes and expands on the significance of materials in products. Our students develop a deep understanding of how materials choices impact issues such as sustainability and ergonomics. Our exploitation of materials produces innovative design work and it enhances the base principles of aesthetics, ethnography, economy, and engineering that are vital in today’s global design.
Your interest in being a rigorous, hands-on mission-driven designer makes you a perfect candidate for our B.A.,B.S. Or B.F.A. Degrees.
The application deadline for the Product Design Program is February 1.
