"The Role of Design in Social Substainability- an International Perspective" Lecture
Come experience our new showroom, and earn CES credits!
Everyone is talking about the next generation of sustainable design. What makes sense for an expanded vision going forward?
A representative of Adaptive Environments, a prominent Boston firm and sponsor of The Center for Human Centered Design, makes the case for designing for social sustainability. Irresponsible energy and building practices in the 20th century were the catalysts for the environmental sustainability movement. Positive scientific progress has created just as potent a catalyst for new issues that need to be addressed now:
We live longer and survive more than ever before. Design that anticipates a wide range of age and ability, minimizes limitations and enhances strengths is the next big idea for supporting and shaping the human experience. Call it design-for-all, inclusive design or human centered design, come learn about the state of the global art with examples drawn form architecture, landscape, interiors and industrial design.
