Gregory Beson serves as a Part-time Assistant Professor at The New School within the Parsons School of Design, specifically affiliated with the School of Constructed Environments. His academic role centers on studio-based design education for graduate and undergraduate programs.
Professor Beson's primary teaching responsibilities include advanced design studios such as Design Studio 4 (PGIN 5201) and specialized courses like Designing Chairs (PSCE 4024). His pedagogical approach emphasizes hands-on prototyping, material exploration, and critical analysis of form-function relationships in designed objects. Research interests focus on the intersection of industrial design, furniture ergonomics, and sustainable production methods within constructed environments.
As a practitioner-educator, he bridges academic theory with industry practices, guiding students through conceptual development from sketch to physical prototype. His work addresses contemporary challenges in product lifecycle management and user-centered design solutions for everyday objects. Office hours are held at K-113 University Place, with correspondence via gbeson@newschool.edu.
