Our aim is to create and support a new breed of designers, who is, in the words of Buckminster Fuller, “a synthesis of artist, inventor, mechanic, objective economist and evolutionary strategist.”

Toronto has Canada’s largest concentration of design businesses and is one of North America’s four top centers of design. We reflect this context by developing programs that foster excellence in design thinking, our programs assist students in applying the latest technologies for a career in design. Our unique educational approach combines academic programs with authentic-task projects.
