You are invited to attend the sophomore Interior Design students’ Furniture Design Shows during the first week in May. Students’ iterative designs consider The American School and the work of Bruce Goff and the students of his era. Central to The American School philosophy were considerations of organic architecture and how a building’s context can influence design outcomes. The students welcome your presence and feedback.
