The effort intends to open the door for students in the College of Design as well as other colleges across the university to participate in events like Art2Wear without a high barrier to entry. Using these materials, students across NC State were able to produce garments and accessories at no cost to them.Īs part of the challenge, students were invited to design one complete look using the Under Armour fabric to be reviewed by a panel of judges. This community effort has also been noticed by performance apparel design giant, which has donated a sizable amount of fabric to be used as part of the One-Look Design Challenge. The annual event is organized and hosted by the College of Design’s Art + Design department, and usually attracts about 1,000 attendees including NC State students, greater Raleigh community members and industry partners.Īmong designers and faculty alike, one of the most greatly missed elements of holding Art2Wear in person is the collaborative community that is built throughout the design process. On April 27 in Talley Student Union’s Stewart Theatre, spotlights will once again shine on the runway following two-year hiatus from its widely anticipated in-person fashion show. We encourage any member of the college community to attend this meeting and engage in participatory dialogue.Ĭollege leadership will examine the results of the charrette and continue to develop a means to address the floor in a way that is meaningful to the college community and provides relevance and context to the current design.įeature: Art2Wear Takes the Stage in 2022 | Link in bio. will lead a participatory discussion on Monday, Apat 5:30 pm in the Rotunda to further discuss the connections between Le Corbusier, the Allred Gallery floor, and the results of the charrette.

The School of Architecture and other departments have been reexamining their curricula and are making meaningful changes to the content in multiple courses.Īssociate Professor of Architecture Burak Erdim, Ph.D. One of the results of that task force has been a critical examination of our academic curriculum and how it supports a broad range of global design perspectives. In addition to that activity, Associate Dean Sharon Joines has been leading our Diversity, Equity and Inclusion task force. On March 30, there was a student-led charrette in which students produced designs to reimagine the space. Through the work of a group of students, we are reexamining the use and meaning of this space as part of our campus. Our mission is to create a welcoming and inclusive environment for any individual who enters our space to work and learn. The values held by Le Corbusier, particularly those of homophobia, misogyny, and fascism, are not held by the College of Design. As we learn more about the history of this designer from contemporary research, we are learning more about his unfortunate ties to groups that excluded and persecuted others.

The floor of the Allred Gallery in Kamphoefner Hall was inspired by the work of well-known architect Le Corbusier.
