This exhibition highlights CDR projects over the past 20 years, each having increased in complexity and interdisciplinary collaboration. Featured are CDR’s award-winning LUMENHAUS and FutureHAUS. Linking the technical rationality of science and the rich ambiguity of design, each project advances CDR’s goal to cultivate a new type of designer within the challenge and excitement of discovery. 

CDR aspires to C.P. Snow’s commentary regarding the separate trajectories of science and art: “There seems to be no place where the cultures meet — At the heart of thought and creation we are letting some of our best chances go by default. The clashing point of two subjects, two disciplines, two cultures — of two galaxies, so far as that goes — ought to produce creative chances. In the history of mental activity that has been where some of the breakthroughs came.”
