Public Design Corps

Design gains relevance when practiced in relation to people, places, and the issues that shape them. As a Taubman College initiative, U-M Public Design Corps invites students from architecture, planning, urbanism, and across campus to approach design as a civic practice: collaborative, situated, and open to the uncertainties of working in public. Public Design Corps courses expand learning beyond the classroom and provide opportunities to work with community and organizational partners on situated projects.
