RISD Presents Design Science Symposium Inspired by the Arthur Loeb Collection

An international group of thinkers, makers, and educators interested in spatial phenomena, complex systems, and nature-inspired design gathered on campus in late September.

Modeled on the EFS curriculum, this one-semester program for first-year students is a unique, immersive option for students beginning their RISD journey.

In late September, an international group of thinkers, makers, and educators interested in spatial phenomena, complex systems, and nature-inspired design gathered at RISD for a weekend symposium called Geometry of Uncertainty.

Hosted and organized by RISD’s Fleet Library and the Edna W. Lawrence Nature Lab, the event was inspired by the Arthur Loeb Design Science Teaching Collection & Archive.

The collection of objects and prints was amassed by late crystallographer Arthur L. Loeb, who used them to help students envision the world at macro and molecular scales and understand key spatial concepts.
