Published in the winter of 1951, the first issue of The Student Publication was conceived in the wake of tragedy.
The year before, Maciej (Matthew) Nowicki — who’d been commissioned by officials in India to help design a new state capital, Chandigarh — was traveling home to Raleigh after months working abroad when the airliner he was on crashed in the Egyptian desert, killing all aboard.
Much of the first edition of The Student Publication was devoted to Nowicki’s sketches for two of his postwar projects: his collaboration with American architect Albert Mayer on the design for the planned Indian city of Chandigarh, and his commission to create new designs and improve existing structures at the North Carolina State Fairgrounds.

Throughout the two decades since its first show, @ncsuart2wear has become one of the College of Design`s most iconic traditions. 💃🐺🧵
From its humble beginnings as a traditional runway show in the Pit to an immersive, technologically cutting-edge experience in Stewart Theater, Art2Wear continues to transform the imaginations of young designers.
“It taught us all a whole lot about running a production, as well as pulling together a collection. Turning a vision, a sketch, into a 3D object that can be worn was a new skill set for me. It helped me understand fit and how to think in dimension.” - Kate Fuqua, alumna and VP of Design at Coach.
On the evening of May 3, 2002, the six students presented their designs in front of a crowd of 250 people. To introduce each collection, a student walked across the stage wearing a placard bearing its name and the name of the designer. Now, it`s one of the largest student-run productions of its kind in the Southeast.

"You need to find your community when you`re in a big school like [NC State], especially as a minority student."
Art Clement enrolled in NC State in 1966 to study architecture at the School of Design. He later went on to become the first African American student to graduate from the school in 1971.
Clement has worked with nearly a dozen historically Black colleges and universities throughout his 30-year career, drawing on his passion for preservation architecture.

“Look to your left and look to your right,” said Henry Kamphoefner, first dean of North Carolina State College’s newly formed School of Design, in the fall of 1948. “Next year, one of you will be gone.” Out of about 120 students in Elizabeth Bobbit Lee`s class, only 23 graduated.
Under a new dean and new curriculum, Lee thrived as the sole female graduate in a class full of men, even as she set the mold for a life well lived. Read "Shattering Glass Ceilings to Shape a Modern World" in our bio.

This week, we`re going back to where it all began. As we turn 75, we`re sharing the firsts at the College of Design - the people who made us, the events that shaped us, and the community that laid the foundation for NC State to become a powerhouse in design education.
Our first story is about the students who graduated from the School of Design in the spring of 1953. They were the first to complete the new school’s five-year course load. Their commitment set the pace for everything that came after. They were the class that started it all. Link in bio to read the full story.

Celebrating Motion, Life and Change: an Art2Wear Story.
On the evening of April 26, a crowded Stewart Theater once again erupted with the applause and cheers that normally accompany the NC State College of Design’s annual @ncsuart2wear production.
Finishing its 22nd year, the show is no stranger to wowing audiences with unique, daring and sometimes bizarre wearable collections.
However, there was something different about Art2Wear this year. The show’s host department, formerly known as Art + Design, recently changed its name to Media Arts, Design and Technology (lovingly referred to as MADTech).
There was no runway present for models to strut across. Placed center stage was a massive LED display filled with colorful motion graphics and video content produced by fellow students.
Furthermore, the College of Design is currently celebrating its 75th anniversary – marking the numerous transformations throughout its campus since 1948.
These factors drove co-directors Megan Brown (GXD ’23) and Emma Anderson (MADTech ’23) to establish Art2Wear’s 2023 show as one of change. The year’s theme was dubbed Art2Wear: Kinetic.

The ribbon has been ✂️ CUT ✂️
The @ncstatelaep Design + Build Studio (LAR 506) class officially cut the ribbon on a renovated outdoor area for Wood residence hall.
The project is just the first phase of a multi-year plan to transform this central outdoor area of Wood Hall.
The Design + Build course in the Department of Landscape Architecture and Environmental Planning is an applied, hands-on experience available to College of Design students that has been offered in the department since 2010.
Students in the course must conduct research, perform site analysis, pitch ideas to clients, ideate solutions and construct a final product within a set budget and time frame. The course is led by Associate Professor Carla Delcambre, ASLA, PLA and Assistant Professor of Practice Jesse Turner, ASLA, PLA.
The Design + Build course has redesigned multiple areas of campus including the outdoor area of Lee Hall, Syme Hall and the Artists’ Backyard between Turlington and Owen residence halls. Each project has a focus on promoting plant biodiversity on campus by using pollinators and rain gardens.
