Vignelli Center for Design Studies at RIT

The Vignelli Center for Design Studies is an educational resource center at Rochester Institute
of Technology.

Its primary goals are to advocate design excellence
at RIT and beyond through innovative programming, supported by extensive archival holdings of design exemplars.

The Vignelli Center for Design Studies is a place for design education, research and critical examination. The key concept in all areas of the Center’s work is the rigorous reflection of Modernism–the discourse of Modernism, which forms a bridge between the history of design and the Vignelli design tradition. The Center’s aims therefore are to conserve, research
and extend this cultural heritage and, at the same time, investigate current design issues.
