Boundless: Design Beyond Limits

Today’s designers face new challenges at an unprecedented scale. At a moment of limitless technology and creativity, unknown frontiers ask us to imagine a world of reinvention. To rise to the occasion, designers must embrace emergent, evolving, and responsible practices that challenge traditional conventions.

“Boundless: Design Beyond Limits” invites us to discover new approaches through concepts, explorations, and design-driven solutions. This exhibition reveals a landscape of interconnected actions, systems, and tensions that can yield infinite possibilities.

Through the approaches of divergence, convergence, emergence, and resurgence, we can realize design’s impact and press towards the brink of new possibilities. By charting new courses at an accelerated rate, we can transform today into an imaginative and truly boundless tomorrow.

Designers must be ready to embrace technology in its fullest capacity. We cannot be satisfied with invention alone — instead, designers need to translate and apply new technologies towards transformative futures. At ID, we focus on design that impacts society and culture to solve the world’s biggest challenges. The 2024 End of Year Show is a testament to the many ways our students actively engage in this work as they embark as tomorrow’s future leaders.
