Description
How do you inclusively design interior nature-influenced spatial experiences considering equity, diversity, and culture, while promoting play, education, and growth? You will learn about systemic inequality issues related to nature access and investigate what biophilia means for the nature deprived. Design Ethics will be introduced as a toolkit to establish a baseline for framing and terminology and explained through a series of Case Studies. We will discuss participatory design processes or co-design to allow for more inclusive and creative spatial conditions while simultaneously considering the health, safety, welfare, and delight of the community.
Content developed as part of the ASID Ones to Watch Scholars Leadership Development Program, supported by Steelcase, Benjamin Moore, Wilsonart, and Loloi. Learn more about ASID Ones to Watch.
