硕士申请条件(两年制)
一、专业概况
Highly experimental and individualized, the graduate program in Furniture Design supports each student's artistic development and articulation of an individual design philosophy through the conception, design and construction of furniture and related objects. The work produced ranges from one-of-a-kind objects, to designs for limited or mass production, to experimental, conceptually based projects. Aesthetic considerations in conjunction with a fluent use of materials and processes to support individual design concepts are paramount.During the first year, students are exposed to a variety of conceptual approaches to furniture and encouraged to expand their thinking, redefining functional and aesthetic considerations through design, material and making investigations. The curriculum challenges students to question their perception of furniture design, examine the changing role of objects in relation to culture and prompt inquiry into their own design philosophy and contribution to the field. The second year is focused on developing a thesis body of work.
家具设计研究生课程高度实验性和个性化，通过家具和相关对象的构思、设计和建造，支持每个学生的艺术发展和个人设计理念的表达。所做的工作范围从独一无二的对象到有限或大规模生产的设计，再到实验性的基于概念的课程。美学考虑与流利地使用材料和工艺来支持个人设计概念是非常重要的。在第一学年，学生将接触到各种家具概念方法，并鼓励他们扩展思维，通过设计，材料和调查重新定义功能和美学方面的考虑。该课程挑战学生质疑他们对家具设计的看法，研究对象在文化方面角色的变化，并迅速探究他们自己的设计理念和对该领域的贡献。第二年的重点是开发一个论文工作组。此外，我们还为少数合格学生提供为期三年的学习课程，他们在预科年度作为研究生参加罗德岛设计学院，利用一系列本科和研究生课程为两年MFA课程和论文工作做准备。教师可以在面试阶段为申请人提供最适合的途径。

三、学习环境
Faculty members work closely with approximately 15 graduate students and 75 undergraduates in the department. The graduate program attracts students from all over the world with very diverse backgrounds, but who are clearly prepared for advanced research in art and design. A three-year program is available for applicants without prior studio/making skills, while those in the two-year program work together in an integrated course of study.Graduate students work in the department's well-equipped studios and shops, and also take advantage of the rich manufacturing resources in the region. In addition to studio work, graduate seminars offer an opportunity to explore contemporary theory and broaden awareness of relevant issues. All work is refined through numerous reviews and critiques with faculty, students and invited guest critics. Grad students welcome opportunities to participate in sponsored research studios and departmental exhibitions at venues such asSalone Internazionale del Mobile in Milan and the International Contemporary Furniture Fair in New York.
