Good design matters.
It touches everything around us. It drives innovation. And it has the power to make life better for everyone.
From Dean Hoversten
We make sense of the world for the benefit of the public. Our rigorous programs prepare students to develop solutions that serve the greater good, and our research has life-changing impact.

Alumnus Turan Duda, FAIA [B.Arch. ’76] is the recipient of the 2022 College of Design Distinguished Alumni Award.
As an internationally renowned architect, Turan has designed notable regional, national and international projects including the North Carolina State University Talley Student Union, 405 Colorado in Austin, the Center for Health & Wellbeing in Winter Park, Florida, and Ikon Tower in Monterrey, Mexico.
“Turan Duda is the epitome of a successful graduate of the College of Design, and has spent his professional career both engaging with and giving back to his alma mater,” says Dean Mark Hoversten, PhD, FASLA, AICP. “He is a firm advocate for the placemaking ability of architecture, and has designed many notable structures both nationally and internationally. His work is driven to reshape the built environment to meet the demands of today’s communities.”
At the College of Design, Turan serves on the Leaders Council, and supports current students and recent graduates through generous gifts and programs such as the Linda and Turan Duda Visiting Designer program, the Linda and Turan Duda Traveling Fellowship, and the Duda|Paine Architects Fellowship Fund.
Most recently, in 2022 the college was able to bring MASS Design Group to campus as part of its new Duda Visiting Designer Program – an interdisciplinary, two-week intensive program that engages students in addressing the compelling questions of today while working hand in hand with leading designers.
Turan continues to give back to the college by providing professional development opportunities for students and recent graduates, hosting networking open houses, creating summer internships, and hiring recent graduates to work at his firm.
Turan has been recognized for his contributions to the profession: as a Fellow of the AIA in 2012, and as a recipient of the F. Carter Williams Gold Medal from AIA NC in 2021. His firm, Duda|Paine was named Architect Magazine’s Top 50 Firms in Business in 2017.
Thank you for being a part of our family. Happy Thanksgiving, designers. ❤️🐺

Some of the best stories are told one frame at a time.
In spring semester of 2022, the Department of Art+Design launched a Senior Capstone Animation Studio. In the studio, students worked individually and in groups on a year-long project to complete an animated film.
The films ranged in form from hybrid 3D animation to traditional 2D animation and in length from 4 to 7 minutes. The films were screened as part of the @asifahollywood-sponsored 2022 Student Animation Showcase with other animation programs from around the country.
Watch all of the animated shorts in our bio.
Happy Friday, cool people.

Recent graduates Anusha Khansaheb and Caroline Anderson recently set out to investigate four Latin American cities with long, unique architectural histories. 🇲🇽🇨🇴🇪🇨🇦🇷
As students, both wanted to focus on different topics within the field of architecture but agreed on the importance of studying the discipline outside a European lens.
A primary goal of the trip was to share lessons learned about the intersection of architecture, society and culture with students and faculty back in Raleigh. They even started their own Instagram channel, @anushacarolinetravels, documenting their experiences as they happened.
With the help of professors Burak Erdim and Patricia Morgado, the duo narrowed their itinerary down to four locations throughout Latin America: Mexico City, Mexico; Medellín, Colombia; Quito, Ecuador; and Buenos Aires, Argentina.
“These countries have more recent histories in terms of post-colonialism,” says Caroline. “We wanted to pinpoint the identities those countries attempted to project globally. A big part of our investigation focused on how the countries worked to reclaim their history and their past, while also grappling with their indigenous roots.”
Since returning from the month-long journey, Caroline has started work as a designer for a local firm in Durham, and Anusha has since started a Master of Science of Historic Preservation at @weitzman_school.
They plan to return to the COD campus in 2023 to share their research with students and faculty.
Both graduates made the journey thanks to the Linda and Turan Duda Traveling Fellowship - an annual scholarship awarded to architecture graduates who have demonstrated academic and design excellence during their time at the college. Turan graduated from the college in 1976 and is a founding partner of @dudapaine, the award-winning firm behind the design of @ncstateunion.

The Bachelor of Graphic Design and Master of Graphic Design programs are getting a name change to better reflect the skills of our students.
Going forward, the programs will be officially recognized as the Bachelor of Graphic & Experience Design (BGXD) and Master of Graphic & Experience Design (MGXD).
“These new degree names emphasize not only the current strong curriculum taught by faculty, but deepen our alignment with exciting trends in the profession,” says Department Head of Graphic Design and Industrial Design Tsai Lu Liu.
The name change officially acknowledges the program’s understanding that user experience and user interface design (UX/UI) represent strong growth sectors within the profession—sectors that will continue to thrive according to statistics from the Department of Labor.
UX/UI intersects with more traditional graphic design practices like branding, publication design, service, and exhibition design, bringing a human-centered approach to the design process.
The program’s strong national and international reputation reflects this deep understanding of current and future trends.
Animation Career Review ranks the program number one among the top 50 public graphic design schools in the United States. 69% of professionally-placed alumni over a recently tracked 5-year period are employed in high-paying UX/UI positions.
Such alumni also informed the name change process, encouraging the program to expand its title to better reflect student expertise. Strong interest by companies, which continue to partner through sponsored studio projects, testifies to the program’s success in UX/UI.
Recent sponsored studio partners include such companies as SAS, REI, Sealed Air, Advance Auto Parts, WebAssign, Red Hat, and IBM.
