Ronald Brady, Goethe and the Sciences
CMU School of Design's New Grad Studio
Our new graduate studio came online last year!
Design must disengage itself from consumer culture as the primary shaper of its identity and find a terrain where it can begin to rethink its role in the world. The result of this activity, if successful, will be a new power for the designer to participate in projects for the welfare of humankind both inside and outside the market economy.

Ideas for a sustainable world from Schumacher College. Both my partner, Gideon Kossoff and I have articles in this book, along with Ezio Manzini, Fritjof Capra, James Lovelock and Satish Kumar.
