Students in the MS in Textile Design program greatly benefit from the Design Center located at Philadelphia University. For more information about this critical element of our design success, visit www.philau.edu/designcenter/. Below is a brief description taken from their website:
"Design is as simple as a paper clip, as complex as a city plan, as critical as a ballot. It expresses style, inspires process, clarifies thinking. It informs, excites, provokes, delights. Design defines the way we live.
The Design Center at Philadelphia University is the rare institution solely devoted to design, showing us just how design shapes everyday life. Through its presentation of gallery exhibitions, enrichment programs, lectures and special events – such as DesignPhiladelphia – the center reflects Philadelphia University's extensive design curriculum encompassing architecture, landscape architecture, interior design, graphic design, textile design, fashion, interactive media and product design. The Center's library and collection serve as outstanding resources for scholarly research and provide inspiration to designers, artists, educators, students and aficionados."
