About US
As Arnold Matthew said, over one hundred years ago, culture is the ability to know what is best; to be the best it can be; the application of mind and soul at its best; and the pursuit of what is best. In other words, it is both the goal of and the best method for pursuing the best life. The Design Research Center was established to make manifest the aesthetics of life. It is a research group that surveys all areas of aesthetic life, centered on design. Research will examine new interpretations of Plastic Language and the pursuit of a methodology to ensure relevance in the 21st Century with regards to planning, production, distribution and realization.
