Annual Report from the College of Design

2006 2007

The College of Design community recognizes that forms of collaboration will evolve from the social networks of work that result from a rapidly evolving professional design culture and societal demands for increasing demands for creative thought and an entrepreneurial spirit. The lesson of practice that is most dramatic for an educator is the uidity with which teams are formed, transformed and evolved over the course of projects and the development of the ofce. The team formed to undertake a complex project comes together from the distant reaches of the globe, completes the work and then disbands with the prospect that it may never be assembled again. Members of the new form of team bring specialized knowledge to the process even while each has a greater perspective for the team to share. While there may be a clear management hierarchy, as

the project evolves the leadership of the project may be shifted by the priorities of the issues to be addressed. A steep pyramid may quickly devolve into a matrix of relationships. This uidity must characterize the new relationships between education and practice. It will be this manner of working that will cause stress in the academy, but it is a transformation that must be undertaken even as fundamental knowledge is preserved. This engaging social network of work is the model for a vital relationship between researcher and practitioner. It is this model that will validate the work of the most advanced researcher in the eyes of faculty colleagues and professional associates. The underlying aspiration of the College of Design Compact Plan that has been developed during the past academic year

is to formulate a mode of design education enriched by a uid management model evolving from traditional disciplines. Clearly in this context, it will remain necessary to account for fundamental professional competencies, however, it is equally important to foster a design professional at ease with moving across intellectual boundaries. It is only possible to achieve this aspiration if it is practiced in the conduct of the affairs of the College of Design. Our charge is to employ the design process we value in our teaching and demand in the work of our students must characterize the very nature of our instinct to act. This is the D School mentality.

The Environmental Scan

The College of Design exists in a context of professional and social transformation. This is a time when the assumptions regarding design education are under serious reconsideration. With the changes under way, the college must develop an operational model for a complex design community to confront its own time with the courage and insight that characterized its beginning. Design education in this context must connect with industry and related design professions to address the increasing demands placed on graduates who seek more meaningful roles in their work lives. In this environment, demands are placed on faculty and students to act with an agile spirit embracing rapid change with no promise of success.

The College of Design must address:

Societal imperatives challenging the relevancy of design that denes the expectations to:
Respond to a society that is becoming extraordinarily complex Expand access to the college for a diverse student population Internationalize the student experience Expand life-long education Establish a collaborative culture of scholarship and engagement Utilize new instructional technologies and techniques Seek partnerships across the campus Promote and communicate understanding of the design domain of knowledge

A transforming student body that requires new approaches. Students today:

Are digitally literate Demand more service from faculty and staff Have ercely competed educationally from an early age Address pressures that undermine an innate love of learning Range from wealthy to nancially disadvantaged May work to support themselves and may be parents

Former master of industrial design student Allen Nelson created a lawn mower that ran on biodiesel fuel from leftover oil from university dining under the direction of Bryan Latte.

The College of Design has an important role to play in the societal shift from a consumption paradigm to a sustainable paradigm, a shift that is being forced upon us by the physical limits of our environment. In order to achieve this difcult task, the curricular programs in the college must teach students to be procient in design thinking approaches that are simultaneously effective in generating positive social, economic and environmental outcomes. Rather than being a simulacrum of a 75-year-old revolution in thought, the College of Design community must validate through continuing accomplishment, the position of Design as the Third Domain of Knowledge within the academy.

An agile posture to:

Connect with rapidly transforming industries and professional ofces Prepare students for success and excellence within a rapidly transforming culture Increase accountability for educational outcomes Respond to the necessity for interdisciplinary approaches Accept increasing parental scrutiny and expectations Respond to the requirements of federal research institutions and accrediting agencies

Projects Evolving from a Changing Service Environment

In response to the rapidly transforming societal demand for creative / design thought, the interests of the college have evolved and diversied with such vigor that an entirely new culture of scholarship and artisanship has evolved. There is no better way to express this transformation than to reect on the many projects under way.

Several faculty reached pinnacles in their respective careers: Gene Bressler was named a fellow in the American Society of Landscape Architects; Patrick Rand was named a fellow in The Masonry Society and in The American Institute of Architects; Nilda Cosco completed her Ph.D.; and Lee-Anne Milburn became a registered landscape architect in the U.S. and in Canada and completed her Ph.D.

The Prague Institute has expanded as a university center and is offering general education requirement courses so more NC State students will take advantage of the permanent facilities. Several colleges have secured space to offer customized courses at Prague as well.

Industrial Design Professor Percy Hooper developed and conducted the rst-ever College of Design course to assist local inventors ID582: Design Assistance for Entrepreneurs.

The School of Architecture successfully secured NAAB accreditation for a maximum six-year term. The national prole of the school has expanded through faculty publications, design and teaching awards, dissemination of lecture series and graduate programs posters and enhancements to the Web site.

The growth in doctoral programs in architecture and landscape architecture at other institutions signals the need for greater recruitment efforts in these areas for the colleges Ph.D. program. Study and research related to sustainability are especially relevant and comprise much of the interest expressed by students with architecture backgrounds.

The Contemporary Art Museum initiative, which began as part of the College of Designs art and design in the community outreach, hired its rst full-time director, A.T. Stephens, since the merger in February 2006. CAM led the operation of the three summer Design Camps beginning in June 2007, which is in line with their mission of K12 educational programming and it frees Student Affairs to concentrate on other recruitment activities.

The Landscape Architecture department initiated the Student/ Practitioner Mentor Program, a Landscape Imperative Lecture Series, and a departmentwide awards ceremony.

The Art-to-Wear fashion show brings attention to the Anni Albers program that is jointly run by the colleges of Textiles and Design. Beginning two years ago, the show became juried entry only.

The Industrial Design Department Chair is working with the North Carolina Ofce of Curriculum to develop an industrial design curriculum for the North Carolina educational system at the high school level.

The popularity of the Art-to-Wear fashion show required the need for a new venue so the show moved to The Court of North Carolina and saw more than 1,200 attend. Media coverage on the event, especially from The News & Observer, drew even more spectators. The students raised more than $1,000 from donors to invest in next years show.

The College Information Technology Laboratory acquired a data backup system to provide protection for the entire college. The EMC Retrospect backup software runs on a Dell PowerEdge server connected to a Dell PowerVault high-capacity storage system.

The Department of Art + Design forged a formal partnership with DELTA on campus to establish a research incubation laboratory that explores online educational information delivery systems.

As part of the Digital Games Research Center (formerly Center for Digital Entertainment), the college will play a role in the development of further programs with the Department of Computer Science in the College of Engineering.

The Downtown Design Studio director continues to manage more research projects. The venue has been a welcome addition to students and faculty at the college. Extension contracts for research and design assistance have increased in diversity and scope of projects.

With the reorganization of the Initiative for Inclusive Design, which encompasses the Center for Universal Design, the Home Environments Design Initiative and the Natural Learning Initiative, the amount of research done by the College of Design has increased to its highest level. Requests for assistance from communities and organizations seeking extension-related services are at an all-time high. Even with the addition of staff members, the college can only meet the resources of a small percentage of the requests.

College of Design The Initiative for Inclusive Design

The Need
Low-income communities, people with disabilities, and the needs of families and children at risk are the focus of the Initiative for Inclusive Design. In North Carolina, 21 percent of individuals have been identied as having a disability. More than 60 percent of North Carolina adults are obese. Increasing numbers of children are suffering health problems (overweight, sedentary lifestyles, ADD, ADHD) that can be ameliorated by design interventions in their healthy daily environments. The development of model affordable housing is imperative to support the needs of a fast-growing and aging population.

Serving the Need

The Initiative for Inclusive Design serves the needs of North Carolinians through the work of the Center for Universal Design (CUD), the Home Environments Design Initiative (HEDI) and the Natural Learning Initiative (see page 18). Impacts of the units include: In the last year the Center for Universal Design responded to more than 683 referrals providing specic technical assistance, distributed 2,073 publications and more than 8,500 Web site downloads/month, and provided information for almost 558,000 visitors through the Center for Universal Design Web site. In addition, the Center developed an ADA video training series for the U.S. Department of Justice and has published numerous planning guides on universal design for public facilities, temporary events, children, health care and tness facilities. CUD is working with the Duke University School of Medicine to develop tools to protect ultrasound technicians from injury. In cooperation with the Lumbee Tribal Council, the Home Environments Design Initiative (HEDI) is working to promote quality home designs to support the increase of home ownership among members of the Lumbee Tribe. These efforts have resulted in model homes being constructed and signicant progress being made with regard to solving the housing problem. The Initiative is also conducting workshops in the Lumbee community to inform children about potential careers in design and architecture. In addition the group is expanding its work with grassroots organizations to create other affordable housing models in the Triangle.

Impact Beyond North Carolina

The units have worked collaboratively with federal, national and international organizations. They include: U.S. Department of Justice, National Endowment for the Arts, National Association of Home Builders, Habitat for Humanity, National Easter Seals and Andrus Gerontology Center. In 2007, the Center for Universal Design signed an agreement of cooperation with the Beijing Institute of Technology, China. In addition, the work of the Center for Universal Design has been cited in The New York Times for its nationwide impact.

Compact Plan: The College Planning Process

The College Compact Planning process is best described as iterative and interactive. It is a process that continues to involve the attention of faculty and staff members at the academic and service unit scale as well engaging the College Administrative Council. Similarly the academic units of the college continued to work throughout the Fall and Spring semesters on the development of ideas related to the progress being made at the College Administrative Council. The rst intention of the process was to develop broad goals and themes within the college that would give perspective to the work of the faculty. It was decided in the many sessions that transpired that priority should be
12

given to interdisciplinary initiatives and partnerships. This process characterizes the normal practice of the design studio and of design thinking. We recognize that the plan is bold so as to challenge the very nature of design education. It is a concept statement that requires considerably more discussion and development. It is an expression of the energy contained within the College of Design community and an expression of the willingness to risk on behalf of the aspiration to lead rather than follow. It is a model entirely derived from the history of our place translated into our time with a view of what is to come. We believe this vision of what is possible will inspire a new era of productivity that stimulates research and sponsored projects. The Compact Plan as it has been formulated is a re-founding of the college with the intention to stimulate research, to foster greater involvement with the engagement mission of our campus and to energize teaching and learning. This is a commitment to work beyond the boundaries of the campus as never before in our history. It is a commitment to the most important issues of our time. The following mission statement and major goals have been articulated to inspire our aspirations and development.

MISSION STATEMENT:
The College of Design integrates practical, ethical and aesthetic thought and action to enhance the meaning and quality of life through the creation and critical study of places, artifacts and knowledge.

Home Environments Design Initiative, led by Georgia Bizios, is improving the quality of life for the Lumbee Indians through HUD grant building aordable homes.

GOALS:
The College of Design community commits to the development of place (virtual and real) and operating resources to sustain and enhance educational and scholarly experiences. The College of Design community embraces Design for Inclusion to advance and apply the body of knowledge of the design disciplines in service to society to improve the quality of life for all. The College of Design community integrates knowledge, people, practices and community fostering teaching, scholarship and application on the subject of Design for Environmental Well-Being. The College of Design community explores knowledge, communicates the creative search and educates through Design for Inquiry.

13

Natural Learning Initiative, led by Robin Moore, assists with building natural environments for children and holds grants for squelching obesity in children.

Compact Plan: Diversity

The college is committed to establish a culture of diversity. This is undertaken as a societal imperative but it is also crucial to the continuing evolution of the creative spirit. The actions undertaken by the college are broad in their reach to prospective students, staff and faculty. It is also characterized by an emphasis on the retention of a diverse community.

14

Under the direction of the College Student Affairs Ofce, the College of Design participated in a year-long university program celebrating African American Alumni. The African American Student Design Association volunteered in the NC Food Banks North Carolina State Fair promotion. Special visitation days were conducted by Student Affairs for Green Hope High School and Northern Granville Middle School. A weekly class for African-American design students is offered throughout the semester and taught by the Assistant Dean for Student Affairs. Guest speakers and special programming is offered to enhance the success rates of students. The college participated in the universitys African American Visitation for newly admitted students and their parents to visit campus and view presentations from colleges. Faculty has targeted working with the universitys Director of African American Cultural Center to share lectures and/or perform extension work. Faculty from each department has presented at high schools or hosted groups and met personally with students and their families. The School of Architecture has initiated a diversity thrust through new international exchanges, increased funding for design studio eld trips and materials, and regular funding for students to attend the American Institute of Architecture Students Forum and the National Organization of Minority Architects annual meetings.

Charles Joyner, professor of Art + Design, served as artist-in-residence at SeeSaw studio during Summer 2006. He provided a series of challenging workshops for 35 creative Durham teens, specically African American and other minorities. Designer-in-Residence Alejandro Quinto, a Mexican-native designer, taught a Pan-American Design Studio. It was a graphic case study of Americas relations with its immediate neighbors. Design-Tech, an interactive visual research program offered through the colleges Art + Design program and the College of Engineerings Computer Science department, is a summer undergraduate recruitment initiative with projects spanning articial intelligence, graphics, visualization and visual design. This program, which is funded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) Research Experiences Undergraduates (REU) and the Department of Defense (DoD) awards program to stimulate and support undergraduate research experiences (ASSURE), encourages applications from under-represented groups in design, science and engineering.

Compact Plan: Instructional Program Advances

Instructional programs continue to develop within the college. These developments expand research and scholarship in the study of design as well as enhance the relevancy of design education to the most pressing needs of society.

The curriculum in Design Studies has been approved for implementation. This will expand non studio based course offerings, enhance history and theory courses and increase offerings for non design majors. The Ph.D. in Design program has completed its second year of a revised curriculum that places stronger emphasis on individual student interests and faculty mentoring. Satisfaction from faculty is higher and student performance continues to improve. Under new leadership, the Graphic Design program aimed for better integration between classes with multiple sessions. Co-teaching opportunities encourage partnerships and planning for studio. Also under new leadership, the Landscape Architecture department began a detailed evaluation of its curriculum at both undergraduate and graduate levels for content, collegial information and improved productivity. Advanced urban design studio and seminars in history, research methods and perception and behavior were developed for the Prague Institute. A supplemental digital component has been added to Art + Design studios and core courses with enhanced digital literacy resulting from this effort. The Art + Design junior review was revised. The formal senior studio was reinstated with on-site faculty advisor and a supplementary weekly Web design instructor. A new studio was developed (ADN570-V) to support the Art-to-Wear fashion show with a parallel studio experience in the College of Textiles, which brings a studio format to Textiles (TAM499-003) for the rst time. The Center for Universal Design developed a proposal to teach an interdisciplinary course on universal design following an invitation from the National Endowment for the Arts to facilitate the understanding of universal design concepts and their application in the design disciplines. NLI will host its fourth annual professional development institute in West Virginia August 911, 2007.

design is

International
International programs have become a central experience of the educational experience of the design student. More than 45 percent of undergraduate students in the college have taken courses abroad prior to graduation from NC State University. The importance of this aspect of the curricular experience of the college is reected in the development of programs in the Czech Republic and Ghana. Programs also have been offered in London and in conjunction with universities in Germany, Scotland and Greece. The importance of international study is a direct correlation with the nature of design practice in the world today.

Compact Plan: Research

The research and scholarship efforts within the college have continued to grow. These efforts are establishing the college as a leader in design education. Research represents the means by which the college will develop graduate programs that make contributions to professional design practice. It is an essential aspect of the future of the college and its place in design education.

16

Design research continues to ourish at the College of Design. The faculty made several national and international presentations, have published books, book chapters and journal articles, and have funded research that is under way. This past scal year, the College of Design has submitted 20 research/extension project proposals and received more than $678,000 in new research and extension awards. The North Carolina Department of the Environment and Natural Resources (DENR) provided research support for a project, Water Quality Impacts of Alternative Buildout Scenarios for Brunswick County, N.C. that was completed in collaboration with the College of Natural Resources. The project evaluated water quality impacts based on alternative subdivision design scenarios. Recommendations for future planning and zoning to promote responsible and sustainable coastal development were suggested. The project totaled $181,000.

The Natural Learning Initiative received two signicant research grants this year. One from the National Institute for Environmental Health Sciences totaled $191,000 and focused on measuring physical activity affordances in preschool outdoor environments. The other grant for $205,000 was from the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation focusing on issues related to active recreation for children. Signicant research grants include collaborative efforts between design extension and faculty, for example The Nags Head, N.C., Conceptual Plan: The Beach Road and its Future Development, and Low-Income Neighborhood Rehabilitation Project in Henderson, N.C. are directed by faculty and/or the director of the Downtown Design Studio. Four graphic design professors are in the midst of writing books and one is conducting research in audience behavior in physical and online communities. One Landscape Architecture faculty member has become a registered landscape architect, earned her Ph.D. and presented 10 papers at national or international venues this year.

The Art + Design faculty is engaged in several research and public art projects. An Industrial Design assistant professor who also works with the Center for Universal Design has garnered eight concurrent projects totaling more than $100,000 in grants. Her focus is on ergonomics, obesity, aging and universal design. The Industrial Design department chair is part of a collaborative National Institutes of Health Surgical Robotics Project grant with the College of Engineering. This summer the project will conclude with a third-generation knot-tying device. Ph.D. and graduate students have conducted research in a vast array of subject areas and presented numerous papers as well as serving in professional organizations and publishing papers. The Environmental Design Research Association, Council for Education in Landscape Architecture, NC States graduate and undergraduate research symposiums, and Architecture Research Centers Consortium provide an overview of conferences in which College of Design students presented.

Compact Plan: Extension

The college continues to serve the community through a cooperative extension program that is a model for design schools throughout the world. The following list of projects is an indication of the vitality of the work of faculty and students.

The Home Environments Design Initiative (HEDI), led by Georgia Bizios, led the Home of the Month project for the second year with The News & Observer. In 200708, the project will expand to be included in The Charlotte Observer. Another long-term funded project that HEDI continued work on is the Lumbee Indian affordable housing project, which is funded by HUD. Both projects have been added to the colleges Web site. The AIA Triangle/School of Architecture lectures were held during Fall 2006 and Spring 2007. In addition, the college hosted Craig Dykers in conjunction with NCSU Libraries, Karsten Heuer in conjunction with NCSU Libraries and the College of Veterinary Medicine, and hosted the Designing for a Sustainable Urban Region conference (the fourth annual downtown Raleigh conference). Graphic Design professor Denise Gonzales Crisp was a co-programmer of the AIGA Schools of Thoughts III, biannual graphic designer educators conference. Associate Professor Tony Brock continued his work with the North Carolina Department of Justice in there online Internet safety campaign. Graphic Design Chair Santiago Piedrata and Graduate Program Director Meredith Davis worked on a proof of the concept for design of the future online research database to service design professionals, educators and students. The project is funded by AIGA. Each year the Landscape Architecture department participates in a charrette in North Carolina. During 200607, the three-day charrette, organized by Jay Tomlinson, was held in the City of Marshall in the western part of the state and focused on urban growth and expansion of the town, greenways, open space and trail plans and town entryways.

The Kinston Waterfront NOW-sponsored project, Conceptual Vision Plan: Recommendations for Rebuilding the Waterfront, was completed and won the college a university extension award. Beginning June 2007, The Dubois Center Alumni Association Board of Directors has contracted with the Downtown Design Studio Director Dr. Celen Pasalar to conceptualize a master plan for redevelopment of the historic Dubois School campus in Wake Forest, N.C. Dubois served as a prominent historically Black high school prior to integration. The Community Design Initiative has worked for numerous N.C. counties this year including Cherokee, Brunswick, Madison, Avery, Watauga, Pender, Orange and Wilkes. Many of these projects are in collaboration with the N.C. Cooperative Extension program. The Center for Universal Design brought in $175,000 of outside funding, in addition to funding from the State legislature in the amount of $300,000, to support extension-related activities. Included in this support was a grant from the Ministry of the Interior of the Government of Norway. The Contemporary Art Museum, as of this year, organizes and manages the colleges summer design camp program in three sessions reaching more than 250 high school-age students. In addition to this outreach and recruitment work, CAM also has an after-school program at the Museums Magnet Middle School located in downtown Raleigh. Each year, the students exhibit their work in several downtown sites. Students Affairs and HEDI has been endorsed by the Lumbee Native American Tribal Council to conduct a new series of outreach programs in Lumberton, N.C. This will be the rst formal NC State program endorsed by the Tribal Council. The pilot design camp is planned for August 2007.

College of Design The Natural Learning Initiative

The Need
Healthy childhood is essential for the successful development of North Carolina. There are 5,000 licensed childcare centers in the state serving almost 250,000 children up to 10 hours a day. The Natural Learning Initiative (NLI) research indicates the majority of these environments could be designed to instill healthy lifestyles in child nutrition and physical development and help reverse the 60 percent rate of overweight and obese adults in North Carolina. Research shows that time outdoors is essential for healthy mental and social development of all children. The design of parks, school grounds, neighborhoods and family weekend destinations has become a crucial strategy to combat nature decit disorder and its associated negative health trends, including attention functioning issues such as ADD and ADHDthat research shows can be ameliorated by design of outdoor environments.

Serving the Need

The purpose of the Natural Learning Initiative is to promote the importance of the natural environment in the daily experience of all children, through environmental design, research, training and dissemination of information. Impacts include: Through participatory community design processes since 2000, NLI has assisted in the creation of more than 60 masterplans for healthy outdoor spaces in public housing, childcare centers, schools, botanical gardens, environmental centers and zoos. NLIs scientic research program, in collaboration with the UNC School of Public Health, is working to create the evidence base to support childrens science learning and to counteract sedentary lifestyles. This effort is sponsored by the National Science Foundation (NSF), the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation (RWJF) and the National Institute for Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHS). The NLI Annual Design Institute has trained about 350 educators, designers, education facility owners and operators since 2003. More than 10,000 individuals visit NLIs Web site every month.

Impact Beyond North Carolina

The Natural Learning Initiative works in collaboration with several U.S. universitybased centers of research and community development as well as institutions in Brazil, Denmark, England, Japan, Jordan, Portugal, Scotland and Sweden. Currently, NLI is collaborating in the creation of an international Network of Excellence focused on health issues in the design of children and family environments in cooperation with the Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences (SLU); the Stockholm Public Health Center/Karolinska Institute, and the Edinburgh College of Art, Heriot-Watt University, Scotland; and the Faculty of Human Kinetics, Lisbon Technical University.

College of Design The NC State Prague Institute

The Need
NC State prepares individuals to be productive contributors to the global economy. Today both social and environmental issues transcend international borders. Our future leaders need to be able to work productively with a diversity of cultures and operate as citizens in the global marketplace. As the European Union continues to grow and eastern European economies begin to reach their potential, opportunities for collaboration in the sciences, business and the arts will continue to expand. Until the creation of the Prague Institute, NC State University did not have a permanent international center. The presence of this Institute enables NC State to compete with its national peers with regard to keeping and attracting the best students in the state. These students often see international experience as being critical to their future.

Serving the Need

For 14 years the College of Design had offered a summer program in the Czech Republic for College of Design students. In January of 2005 the NC State University College of Design began leasing space in the center of Prague and established the Prague Institute. From that time the Institute has offered courses on a year-round basis using both the colleges faculty and Czech faculty to provide NC State students with a unique and broadening educational experience. In January of 2007 the facilities of the Institute were doubled in size and were made available to all NC State University students. At that time offerings were broadened to include courses in the sciences and humanities, and special programs for the College of Management and Physics were developed. Today, the Prague Institute continues to grow. Facilities exist to accommodate 40 students each semester and educational offerings reect and build upon Pragues unique central European location. In addition to general university requirements, special programs are offered in architecture, urban design, international business, industrial design and the arts. Planning is under way to accommodate course offerings related to the new Master of International Studies program of the College of Humanities and Social Sciences. As the Institute grows and matures, it will serve as a key contact point for faculty seeking to broaden European contacts and research programs. It provides educational experiences to both graduate and undergraduate students.

Impact Beyond North Carolina

This spring the Institute hosted the International Conference on the Outcomes of Architectural Education. The conference was attended by representatives from Europe, South America, Great Britain and North America. Plans are currently under way to host a number of other international meetings including conferences on landscape ecology, childrens health and the environment, and accommodating disabilities.

Fund-Raising
Fundraising for the 20062007 scal year was successful as the College of Design exceeded its aggressive goal of $1,325,000. The college raised more than 80 percent of its $9 million goal for the Achieve! Campaign for NC State University. The colleges campaign committee made major changes by adding Franklin Bost as a co-chair to assist chair John Atkins.

College of Design Community Design and Development Initiative and Downtown Design Studio
The Need
In North Carolina there are more than 800 small communities in need of growth management and economic development assistance. Communities that have historically relied on traditional industries and farming to fuel their economies are now seeing population movement and economic pressures that require change. The need is for encouraging growth compatible with the current scenic agricultural environment and controlling developments that may have negative impacts on community character and environment.

Serving the Need

The work of the Community Design and Development Initiative and the Downtown Design Studio assists towns and cities to discover alternative strategies for creating and maintain community economic vitality and character. During the last 10 years more than 75 communities have been directly served by this Initiative. These communities have come from all parts of the state. Of the 100 North Carolina counties, 53 have beneted directly from these efforts. These Initiatives are currently working with the City of Raleigh Planning Department, the Triangle J Council of Governments, the Raleigh Urban Design Center, and the North Carolina Community Development Initiative on a variety of projects intended to improve the quality of the states urban and rural environment. Plans are under way to develop a workshop specically for community ofcials and extension agents to increase their understanding of the link between physical development and economic development. At this time the College of Design is working with 14 different towns on a variety of community development programs. An example of an outcome of one of these efforts is that the town of West Jefferson has implemented a signicant community development project that now links the Public Library to the town center.

Impact Beyond North Carolina

The Initiative has organized and hosted a regional workshop (Southeastern U.S.) on Growth and Development. In addition, the work of the Community Design and Development Initiative has been presented to a variety of national and international conferences including the Research By Design Conference, Delft, Netherlands, and the Urban Wildlife Interface Professional Development Program in Atlanta.

College of Design Initiative for Product Development and Entrepreneurship // Robotic Heart Surgery Tool
The Need
Ideas need expertise to become viable products. Design expertise can be the catalyst that transforms ideas into products that contribute to society and become economic drivers. An example of such a transformation in process is the interdisciplinary research effort developing tools that will decrease the time it takes to perform surgical procedures for critical cardiac patients, including bypass. This decrease in time will result in an increased survival rate for patients undergoing critical surgical procedures.

Serving the Need

The goal of the collaborative research between Bryan Laftte, Industrial Design Department Chair, and Dr. Greg Buckner, PI, and Dr. Denis Cormier in the College of Engineering, is to develop an automated knot-tying tool that allows for faster xation of knots in Minimally Invasive Surgery (MIS), while retaining the features of visual and haptic feedback, strategic exibility and the assured resistance to loosening that conventional surgeons hand-tied knots provide. Knot-tying in traditional suture material with laparoscopic or robot-assisted tools leads to increased operation times and a need for increased surgical skill. An increase in surgery time is especially critical for cardiac surgeries involving cardiopulmonary bypass. Patient mortality rates increase with the time during which the heart is arrested, especially with older patients. This leads to the double bind between the need for speedwhich the access and visibility of traditional open-heart procedures allow and the requirement that the MIS patient be comparatively young and healthy in order to survive the increased heart/lung bypass times required for MIS. While increased cardiopulmonary bypass times may have a minimal effect on young or otherwise healthy patients, increased heart arrest times often make elderly or compromised patients poor candidates for MIS. Furthermore, older patients and otherwise unhealthy patients make up a majority of candidates requiring surgical procedures.

Impact Beyond North Carolina Contact

This research will impact people globally by improving surgical treatment survivability of patients in the future. The impact of faculty members in two well-known colleges at NC State collaborating also capitalizes on the knowledge base here at NC State.

Aspirations
The College of Design community is challenged by external forces as never before. The demand for design extension assistance is placing considerable pressure on academic programs. Evolving technology in the professions is demanding a response in curricular experience and program support. This is a major concern in a college with a limited operating budget. Environmental concerns are being reected in the expectations for the college to lead in research and professional preparation on the subjects of sustainability and regenerative practices.

Growing Expectations for Engaged Activity

Building on a long tradition of service learning and applied research, the concept of Design Extension is evolving from the expressed need of individuals and communities who engage the college by seeking assistance for economic development and entrepreneurship initiatives. The college is expected to act as a think tank on community and economic development, providing for individuals of varying capabilities. While the college community has made the effort to establish staff lines dedicated to this need, there has been little support from NC Cooperative Extension. If the college is to meet this challenge, new resources must be assigned.

Evolving Technology
New technologies, particularly digital information management, simulation and analysis systems, rapidly transform the conduct of the design professions. The implications of new technologies on design outcomes also include the social practices and values represented by the introduction of new tools and means for doing things in peoples lives. A design school of the 21st Century must address the adaptation of traditional practices to new tools and technological systems; the development of new technology; and the social, cultural and economic consequences arising from the rapid acceleration of technological inuence in everyday life. It is imperative, as a university-based design program, that we sustain capability and leadership in this work.

Issues Surrounding Sustainability

The college must prepare students and generate new knowledge to address the quickly increasing challenges of urban growth and development. This encompasses our learning and applying appropriate strategies and methods in design and development of healthy and sustainable communities. At the forefront are issues related to water consumption and waste management, energy consumption and stewardship of precious natural resources. The American Institute of Architects, for example, has issued the 2010 challenge to schools. This challenge demands of schools the development of courses and evaluative strategies that will require students to learn the means to design buildings that will be carbon neutral in their need for electrical power. Green design is having a signicant impact on each of the disciplines of the college. This will require signicant faculty scholarship for the college to assume a leadership position.

It is in this context that this annual report is submitted with anticipation for the accomplishments we will yet achieve. This is a time when our will to achieve will be tested. Marvin J. Malecha, FAIA
