Innovation
SAID encourages innovation in teaching, learning, service, and research that explores and defines where the disciplines of architecture and interior design will be in the future. Innovation inherently involves risk-taking. Risk-taking inherently involves failure. Innovation in design and research is encouraged with the understanding that there will be opportunities for learning in this process. In the end, no goals will be achieved without risk and failure.
- AFFECT CHANGE: we apply the fundamental knowledge and skill of our work to experiments in process, product, and communication.
- EXCEED EXPECTATIONS: We learn more because we look for the unexpected and pursue the possibilities, with rigorous investigation, toward credible achievement.
What areas of innovation are most needed in modern architectural and interior design education? Are there any areas of research, which would serve the overall design methodologies and studio culture policies? How can we support and foster innovation in SAID?
