Five days. Four disciplines.
Hundreds of bold ideas.
The event showcases the final work of graduating students across disciplines, where ideas, processes, and collaboration come together. Many projects address social and environmental issues, reflecting a commitment to meaningful change and demonstrating the power of design, architecture, art, and planning to drive positive impact in the world.
Each year, DAAPworks transforms the entire college into a living exhibition, where studios, hallways, and galleries become a large-scale showcase of the graduating class. As the most anticipated event of the year, it brings together projects from across disciplines in a shared, dynamic showcase.
An evening of recognition for DAAP's graduating class — awards, remarks, and the first look at the exhibition.
