SVA Launches MFA in Products of Design

A new graduate program launches at the School of the Visual Arts in NYC! I'm excited to be among the faculty. Core77's Allan Chochinov chairs the new program, called Products of Design:

Today marks the launch of a new MFA program at the School of Visual Arts in New York City. The MFA in Products of Design, chaired by Core77's own Allan Chochinov and co-founded with Steven Heller, will launch fall of 2012 and aims to provide an immersive, strategic, and making-based curriculum around purposeful artifacts, systems, and design offerings. Faculty include luminaries from leading organizations such as IDEO, Fuse Project, Antenna, Smart, frog, DesignObserver, Doblin, MAKE, Material ConneXion, and more. Visiting lecturers include Tim Brown, Janine Benyus, Aimee Mullins, Scott Wilson, Dale Dougherty and others to be announced as the program ramps up.

There is a one-week intensive Products of Design Summer Program in France this July 10-16 at the extaordinary Boisbuchet Estate, and applicants can be students, teachers, and makers of all sorts (maximum 20 persons so apply now). Check out the page on the site for more info.
