Art, Architecture + Art History

The Department of Art, Architecture + Art History is committed to shaping the next generation of artists, designers, critics and creative thinkers. Dedicated to exploring creative practices at the forefront of our disciplines, we believe that art not only mirrors the society in which it is produced, but also shapes it: we are most interested in art's potential to offer a critique of culture, and embody in the present that which is yet to become.

Repost @farrahkarapetian: How many fellows can you pack in the Casa de la Paz at USD? My CECArtslink fellow from Russia on the right and the International Peacemaker from South Sudan, photographing a student of mine, who grew up in China, with the Peacemaker she worked with, a Native American woman, In front of the piece they made together as the pairs happily show the fruits of their labor together tonight. Quick good work from all involved! Proud of you! (Second picture goofy outtake also including all the students and the Peacemakers from Israel and Pakistan.) Many thanks to the Kroc Institute for Peace and Justice and the Department of Art, Architecture + Art History for being so game. #daaahisgood #daaahsgoood

You’ll likely find your contribution to this research within these pages. #patternthinking #buckminsterfuller #larsmullerpublishers #usd_daaah #usdcas #princetonarchitecture #barrferreefoundation #architecturebooks #geodesic #daaahsgoood
