The Whanganui School of Design (WSD) is a publicly funded tertiary institution that inhabits NZIA Heritage buildings on Taupo Quay in Whanganui, New Zealand. The building forms part of the Whanganui UCOL tertiary education campus. Whanganui Iwi named the campus Matapihi ki te Ao “Window of opportunity to the world” in Māori. ==History== The Whanganui School of Design was the first institute of its kind in New Zealand. It was established in 1987 by Professor Hazel Gamec on the Wanganui Regional Community Polytechnic Main Campus and has an international reputation for experimental work in both time-based and print-based disciplines of graphic design. The WSD is a national member of the Designers Institute of New Zealand (DINZ) and an international alumni design school speaker at AGideas Conference held annually in Melbourne, Australia. Over the years, the WSD has been located at the Wanganui Regional Community Polytechnic campus, the Westpac Building, the old Department of Conservation building, the distinctive Terrace House and the Whanganui UCOL campus on Rutland Street. On April 1, 2001, the Wanganui Regional Community Polytechnic and Wanganui School of Design were integrated with UCOL. The Wanganui School of Design adopted the ‘h’ in Whanganui, and as a part of UCOL continues to approach Design and Arts in a uniquely Whanganui way. In 2015, the School will be located in safety strengthened Heritage buildings on Taupo Quay which are part of the Whanganui Campus site, and shared with the community. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア(Wikipedia)』 ■ウィキペディアで「Wanganui School of Design」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
