San Diego Arts & Architecture: A Unique Culture of Post-WWII Modernism and Mod Swap are proud to be part of San Diego Design Week. The five-day celebration of design presented by Mingei International Museum, featuring presentations, studio tours, workshops and self guided tours hosted by groups throughout the binational design community of San Diego-Tijuana.
San Diego Design Week is an annual celebration of design featuring presentations, studio tours, workshops, and self-guided tours hosted by groups throughout the binational design community of San Diego-Tijuana. Programs feature all disciplines of design — from interior and landscape design, to fashion, graphic design, technology, and more.
Design at its core is collaborative, interconnected, experimental, and holds the potential to shift perspectives and imagine new possibilities. After a year of deep reflection and changes in the way we work and live, we’re exploring the power of design in action — to rethink, transform, and renew — as we envision a path forward.
