The New Bauhaus:
The IIT Institute of Design is the legacy design school of the New Bauhaus that was founded in 1937 in Chicago by László Moholy-Nagy, a Bauhaus teacher in Germany (1923–1928). In 1944, the New Bauhaus ‘School of Design’ became the Institute of Design, and in 1949 it became part of the new Illinois Institute of Technology. Moholy authored an account of his efforts to develop the curriculum of the School of Design in his book Vision in Motion. In 1981, the IIT Institute of Design became the first design institution in the United States to offer a Doctor of Philosophy in Design program. The Institute of Design offers two professional degrees, the Master of Design (MDes) and the Master of Design Methods (MDM), and a dual MDes / MBA degree program with the IIT Stuart School of Business. In 2010, the IIT Institute of Design was ranked #1 for its excellence in design research and design strategy in a survey of deans and chairs of industrial design academic programs by Design Intelligence.
