Description

The significance of buildings and in particular interior environments, has been elevated as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. The design of spaces that contribute to well-being of the occupants is a precedent for solutions today and into the future. This presentation considers the dimensions of wellness, their connection to interior design practices, examples from the field to demonstrate effective strategies, and opportunities going forward. Representatives from various stakeholders in the built environment, including the Owner, Designer, and Manufacturer will show how wellness impacts strategic interior design initiatives from their unique vantage point. The presentation highlights lessons-learned and strategies from the ASID Health & Well-Being INSIGHTS Brief.
