Enhancing the teaching and research activities of the UC Davis
Department of Design, the Design Museum explores how design
shapes, improves and makes viable the objects, technology and
environments we use, inhabit and experience every day.
Our Commitment
The UC Davis Design Museum is a founding adopter of the Green
Museums Initiative. The initiative is a set of five
principles that propel museums to become environmental
leaders and is administered by the California Association of
Museums and the Green Museums Initiative.
Building off the momentum from the “Village Homes: A Radical
Plan” exhibition, UC Davis is hosting a half-day symposium,
“Building Communities that Work: What Village Homes
Can Teach Us Today,” on May 2. The event will feature
conversations with scholars and practitioners from a variety of
disciplines.
