Bryan Bell has focused on research, scholarship, and engagement in the emerging practice of Public Interest Design, a field that is using professional skills and collaboration to address community and global challenges. Bell has co-written and co-edited five publications on this field.
With the goal to share the benefits of design with the greater public, Bell founded the non-profit design service and advocacy organization Design Corps in 1991 with the mission: “Design for the 98% without architects” and has served as the Executive Director since the founding. Bell co-founded the SEED Network in 2005 and is now on the Founding Steering Committee for the global network of networks known as Design for the Common Good which showcases projects around the world. He has collaboratively organized seventeen international “Structures for Inclusion” conferences funded by the National Endowment for the Arts and the Graham Foundation for the Arts, thirty-three Public Interest Design Institutes, and seven international SEED Design award competitions. Bell has been an invited speaker at thirty-two universities nationally and at international conferences in England, France, Spain, Austria, Germany, Canada, Mexico, Australia, and India.
Bell’s work has been supported through a Harvard Loeb Fellowship, the Fellows of the American Institute of Architects Latrobe Prize and six grants from the National Endowment for the Arts. His work has been exhibited in the Venice Biennale and the Cooper Hewitt National Design Museum which was reviewed in Newsweek: “The attitude you don’t see much is non-ironic social concern: Bryan Bell’s clean, safe, attractive manufactured housing for migrant workers is a rarity among all the hyper-postmodern froufrous.” An article in the New York Times described him as follows: “Mr. Bell’s convictions that design can improve lives is unshaken. “It started as a search” he said. “Now I know it’s the truth: designers are needed to address social issues.”” Design Intelligence Journal called Bell one of the “early luminaries” of public interest design. Metropolis Magazine called him “the Noam Chomsky of architecture, barnstorming around the country in the name of social justice.” Since joining the NC State College of Design faculty in 2015, Bell helped start a new NCSU Graduate School Certificate in Public Interest Design. He has Created a new permanent 3-credit course, ARC 563, The Public Interest Design Seminar: Case Studies and Current Issues which is the requisite course for the certificate. He has taught 6-credit studios, ARC 503, titled Public Interest Design Incubators that have served the community and addressed multiple local issues: design for the blind with Governor Morehead School, recycling and reuse with the Scrap Exchange, the design for re-use of St. Agnes Hospital with St. Augustine’s College, and access to rural health care with Pender County Memorial Hospital which was funded and in collaboration with LS3P Architects. To find these community partners in an equitable and transparent process, Bell created an on-line “Request for Collaboration” application process between the public and the School of Architecture.
