Our Work


The work produced by the U–M Public Design Corps is varied in scale and scope, each effort inflected by substantive community partnerships and uniquely tailored project objectives.  The approach is anchored in the belief that rigorous design methods integrated with boots-on-the-ground expertise deliver compelling results. Steering clear of formulaic solutions, participants use design tools with rigor and imagination: calibrating research, representation, and deliverables to create contextually driven, culturally acute and empathetic environments.
