Commencement 2009

June 3 – August 3, 2009

This collection of work by the graduating students of the GSD represents the culmination of many years of intellectual commitment and imaginative speculation. The vast range of ideas demonstrated by the aspirational research and projects of our graduating class provide a confident, creative, and  hopeful set of possibilities for the future. These contributions, developed within the fertile and collaborative context of the Graduate School of Design, enhance the knowledge of respective fields while transcending disciplinary boundaries. Overall, it is inspiring to know that the authors of this work have decided to make design and the physical environment the focus of their endeavors; this impressive presentation of material, however, is but a promising early sign of what these exceptional graduates will achieve in the years ahead.
