The Product-Architecture Lab at Stevens Institute of Technology is a pioneering graduate program integrating the study of Architecture, Engineering, Product Design, and Interaction.

The program overcomes longstanding deficiencies in design education by creating a distinctive fusion of design culture and technology through the disciplines of computation, analysis, and advanced production methodologies.

The curriculum focuses upon immersion in the tools that inform this design convergence, and creates opportunities for students to undertake applied research on real projects and collaborate with designers, engineers, scientists and manufacturers at the most progressive design firms in the metropolitan New York area.

The goals and objectives of this program are:

• To prepare a new generation of design professionals that are fluent in cutting-edge technology and working methodologies.
• To use performance criteria to design and engineer expressive environments and form.
• To push design computation beyond form finding and visualization towards form resolution and fabrication.
• To integrate the study of information management and communication with digital and physical manifestations of data.
