10-Year Anniversary
The Vignelli Center is celebrating its first 10 years and founding director R. Roger Remington with a series of special programming through 2020 and beyond.
Vignelli Design Leadership Legacy Continues
As R. Roger Remington retires, Josh Owen has been named the next Vignelli Center Director and Vignelli Distinguished Professor of Design.
The recently retired R. Roger Remington's legacy of unparalleled design education excellence is celebrated on a tribute website.
10th Anniversary Events
The celebratory events include monthly guest lectures (Design Conversations), special presentations (Design Observations), exhibits and more. *Please note that some of the events are canceled or postponed. These actions are being taken to mitigate the potential spread of 2019 Novel Coronavirus (COVID-19).
The events during the 2019-20 academic year were scheduled to culminate in a 10th anniversary celebration in May 2020 at New York City's Saint Peter's Lutheran Church, a Vignelli-designed masterwork from 1977. However, due to COVID-19, the programming at the church has been postponed with the goal of rescheduling for a future date.
Below is a digital delivery of two parts of the event: a slideshow highlighting the Vignellis' legacy and first 10 years of the Vignelli Center and the RIT Metaproject initiative's 2019-20 partnership with the Center. In what was also Metaproject's 10th year, Industrial Design students in the annual course created products around their own definition of timelessness.
