Inspiration for Impact— How Sustainable Design Advances Social Equity

ASID believes that design has the power to impact lives, and the spaces we create in the built environment work best when they are accessible, inclusive and sustainable. There is an intrinsic connection between sustainable design and social equity. Whether we are talking about fence line communities struggling to thrive against challenging toxic and unsustainable conditions or access to health and wellbeing, the design profession can create spaces that have the capacity to regenerate our environments and rejuvenate our health and wellness. Join Khoi Vo, ASID CEO, Jon Strassner, ASID CSO, George Bandy, President and CSO of Fiber Industries and Sequoyah Hunter-Cuyjet, Vice President +Advocate for Design Equity at Determined by Design in a panel discussion moderated by Mark Wilson, Global Design Editor of Fast Company, to address the social equity and sustainability challenges that affect the interior design profession.
CIDA Future Vision: Closing the Gap Between Interior Design Values and Practice
Virtual CEU
As part of its commitment to research-based standards development, the Council for Interior Design Accreditation (CIDA) scans the interior design industry looking for data, trends, and other information as to what designers (and therefore students) will need to know to be prepared for successful practice. Scans of economic, demographic, environmental, and technological trends are invaluable for charting the future in increasingly uncertain times, but so too for looking deeply into the interior design profession itself. Future Vision presents a thoughtful look at what interior design practitioners, educators, and allies think about the evolution of the profession and the perceived gap between interior design values and practice. Our panel of distinguished speakers will discuss how closing the gap may require disrupting the whole ecosystem.
