ABOUT NYUAD DESIGN

NYUAD Design is the community of design in, from, and around New York University Abu Dhabi. It encompasses Prof. Goffredo Puccetti’s research practice, the Visual Design Lab (C3-112) in the NYUAD Arts Center, the Design Minor, and all the awesome design work of student and faculty designers not only in the Design Program, but also in engineering, science, humanities, and more.

This website is a student-curated digital archive of much of that work, including events, past projects, student essays, and more.
