It Takes a Village…to raise a child. All of us stepped into RISD as children, ready to learn, ready to find ourselves and our practices, ready to find our callings. The camaraderie and community we struggled to foster as first-year students while traversing the challenges of pandemic times were all the more cherished when we stepped into the nine floors of the Design Center.

The identity reflects the nine floors of the RISD Design Center—a rounded window, an out-of-service elevator, a checkered floor—deconstructed and pieced back together, much like the way we built our own experiences. Through shared challenges and moments of connection, we turned these walls into a community that shaped not just our work, but who we are as designers. 

The exhibition design and layout recreates the essence of the building’s nine floors with each space reflecting its respective unique character and function. Red circle numbers, referencing the posters and identity, guide visitors through the layout, signaling which floor they are in.
