RISD Nature Lab

Founded in 1937 by long-time faculty member Edna Lawrence [RISD ‘20], Rhode Island School of Design’s Nature Lab inspires countless art and design projects throughout the college and beyond. Its hands-on natural history collection and studio environment offers the opportunity to examine and explore the patterns, structures and interactions of design in nature.

RISD students always use this lab for studying especially in the foundmental educaiton. Some students also get inspiration from Nature lab because the natural elements still play an irreplaceable part of RISD eduction.
