MSDx Student Resources

MSDx 2025 is evolving

Summer MSDx is here, and we are developing new themes to dynamically curate the work throughout the building. The Basement is dedicated to BDes capstone as in previous years. The Emerging Parts of Practice exhibition remains in the Design Gallery.

We begin MSDx from the Atrium level, which proved very successful since winter. Thesis (LArch, UDes and Arch) is allocated to rooms off the Atrium and Level 1. From there, we slice through the building layers (1, 2, 3 & 4) with the thematics of Culture, Systems, Detail and Representation (not necessarily in this order). These thematics allow for a lively interweaving of disciplinary work.

At the Masters level, we ask that each studio/elective/subject nominates which thematic they wish to be displayed in. Sometimes your work will fit into two categories. In this case, please nominate two themes so that we can have some flexibility in exhibition planning. We also invite the non-capstone BDes subjects to nominate a category to exhibit their work.

Happy MSDx and please reach out to the exhibitions team if you have any questions!

Posting your work? Don’t forget to tag us on your socials so we can share it too!

  • MSDx is a curated exhibition, which means not all student work will be included each time, however, all students will have the opportunity to exhibit their work in their graduating year — something we’re really looking forward to celebrating with you.
  • Unless we hear from you, we’ll assume you're happy for your work to be included in the MSDx exhibition.
  • Please note that while we take great care with all work on display, exhibiting does come with a small risk of damage or theft as the building is open to the public.
  • Even if your work isn’t exhibited this time, we’d love for you to come along to the launch. It’s a great chance to celebrate your peers, get inspired, and explore Thesis — our showcase of graduating student projects.

Thank you for being part of MSDx!
