  Peter Seitz: Designing a Life

  Kolean Pitner

  Peter Seitz was a design pioneer. A graduate of the first class of the Hochschule fur Gestalten Ulm and Yale

  Seitz arrived in the Twin Cities in 1964 as the first design director at the Walker Art Center establishing a tradition of modern design in the Midwest

  before founding a succession of pathbreaking design studios in Minneapolis. In the 1970s

  he was among the first practitioners to understand and advocate for the role of computers in the design process. He brought technology and modernist rigor to the curriculum at the Minneapolis College of Art & Design

  where he taught for more than 30 years and influenced generations of designers.
