About Us
Learn moreAt CAAD, we are dedicated to researching and sharing knowledge about Asian art and design. In particular, we are keen to explore the issues of arts, design, and media, and examine how they relate to Asian history and culture. The Centre adopts a broad view of Asia, extending beyond merely South Asia, East Asia, and the Middle East, which tend to dominate academic attention, to also include Southeast Asia and Central Asia. We operate our research and education programmes through several main pillars, including Programming, Continuing Education, and Conferences.
Programmes
CAAD seeks to serve many communities, including the NTU ADM community, the community of design and design education practitioners around the world, as well as the general public. We organise programmes for students to encourage them to see art and design in new ways.
Our People
At CAAD, we are informed by a diverse group of practitioners and academics to lead the pathway towards progressive education and research.
Collaboration Opportunities
As a centre for the arts and design within a research university, CAAD is uniquely placed to connect academic and industry leaders, artists and other creative practitioners, and passionate students to create active professional networks. Contact us today.
