Home Invitation to Host a Public Interest Design Institute Public Interest Design: Training Program
There is a growing sector in the design professions known as Public Interest Design, as documented in MoMA’s Small Scale, Big Change exhibit and publications like Design Like You Give Damn . The projects in this sector are unlike traditional practice in critical ways and are an area of great potential for the future of the design professions.
Public Interest Design Institutes® provide training and in-depth study focused on how design professionals address critical issues faced by the communities we serve through collaborative processes and fee-based projects. Training in public interest design is a way of enhancing an existing practice by enhancing the skills needed to pro-actively engage in community-based design.
