Biographical Note
Charles L. Owen, Distinguished Professor of Design, joined the faculty of the Institute of Design in 1965, with prior service at Illinois Institute of Technology Research Institute, 1962 - 1964. Owen served as Program Head for Product Design for more than 20 years. He served as associate director from 1969 to ca. 1972, and was instrumental in reviving the design program from near failure by a series of communication projects and competition wins from the late 1970's to the early 1980's. Owen retired in 2010 and was named "Distinguished Professor Emeritus." Owen directed a number of highly visible class projects in his role as an ID faculty member including Project Phoenix which was given "Grand Award, Environmental Technology" for Popular Science's "100 Greatest Achievements in Science and Technology for 1991." "House of the Future" and "Aquatecture" both won Grand Prizes in the Japan Design Foundation's international competitions.
