Professor Schermer delivers talk at NC State, invited to write preface for forthcoming book

In October, Professor Brian Schermer visited NC State’s College of Design to deliver a talk titled The Amphibious Design Researcher and meet with PhD students. His talk explored how architectural research moves between the high, hard ground of theory and the murky swamplands of practice—where evocative ideas from both realms inspire design thinking and compelling research questions.

Professor Schermer was also invited to write the preface for a forthcoming book celebrating the legacy of Professor Henry Sanoff, who founded NC State’s PhD in Design program 25 years ago. The book honor Sanoff’s influential contributions to participatory design and design education.
