We live in a designed world. Everything we buy, wear, read, watch, ride in and on as well as our homes, neighborhoods and cities have been thought up, thought through, proposed, approved, financed and fabricated by a team of diverse professionals. By its very nature the process of creating our environment employs all the learning disciplines thus making design arts the perfect model for interdisciplinary learning. Adopting ARC design education programs as the link for all disciplines may finally answer for one and all the perennial questions,
"Why will I ever need to know this?"
