The game-changing 3-day event experience is the first time the design and trade industries have heard from leading academics and scholars who will present on the convergence of science and design.
Science in Design Founder, Mike Peterson, shared, “Our Sympoisum’s speakers and presenters, represent the top minds in the world and hail from prestigious design firms and world-renowned institutions including, the University of Colorado, University of Pennsylvania, University of Oregon, Boston Architectural College, with studies and research from Eurac, in Athens Greece, citing medical sources documenting how beauty and design improve health.”
Science in Design's Design, Art & Science Symposium tickets are available on Eventbrite. The cutting-edge three-day event experience will be held in person and in tandem with High Point Market, offering hundreds of B2B trade industry professionals the opportunity to learn freshly discovered science. The Symposium's agenda includes (5) events, interactive workshops, networking opportunities, experiential exhibits, product discovery, innovation, and design inspiration.
The Symposium's world-class educational program will be delivered at Congdon Yards, The Loft on Friday, October 13th from 8 am to 5 pm. The full day of education will teach designers, architects, manufacturers, and retailers how to use beauty to promote healing, which is proven by the study of neuroaesthetics and medicine. The Symposium's sessions will cover Biophilia, Neuroaesthetics, the Health Benefits of Interior Design, and the Importance of Beauty & Nature, as well as helping attendees to discover firsthand the Intersection of Technology + Design.
Science in Design’s Co-founder Linda Kafka commented, “Science in Design is dedicated to teaching design and trade professionals about the positive effects of beauty, nature, and fine design. Science now proves that design has the power to create pleasure and beauty, which positively impacts our emotions and physical health.”
Symposium headliners feature several of Science in Design’s Faculty members and represent the leading experts in the field of science and design, including Architect Don Ruggles, the CEO of Ruggles Mabe Studio Architecture & Interiors and Author of “Beauty Neuroscience and Architecture”, Ann Sussan, Co-Editor, Urban Experience+Design, Instructor, Boston Architectural College, President of the Human Architecture & Planning Institute, Inc, (theHapi.org), and Author of “Cognitive Architecture,” and Angela Harris, interior designer, product designer, and CEO of world-renowned design firm TRIO, who will deliver the Symposium’s closing keynote presentation on “Interior Design is an Alternative Health Resource, Understanding Neuroaesthetics in Built Environments.”
The Symposium’s Color Design & Trend Headliner Roz Kavander from Roomworks Happy & Roz Kavender Design, will present on the “Fundamentals of Color, Art & Design”, while an industry-led panel discussion on “Designing For The Human Experience” will be moderated by Diane Falvey, Editor in Chief of Furniture, Lighting & Decor. This discussion will include Symposium headliners Lisa Staprans, Owner and principal of Staprans Designs, Lisa Kahn, CEO, Founder, and Chief Design Officer - Finding Sanctuary by Lisa Kahn and principal of Lisa Kahn Designs, and Dr. Rebecca Tapia, Professor at the UT Health & Science Center San Antonio, who will detail how designers can approach their clients in a scientific way. These science and design experts will also showcase how implementing neuroaesthetics and biophilic design into their businesses has revolutionized their design focus and is improving the health of their clients.
Diane Falvey, Editor in Chief of Furniture, Lighting and Decor commented, "Converging design, medicine, and science is game-changing. I'm excited to be speaking with our panelists about the positive impact beauty and design have on our health and well-being. Science now proves what many interior designers know intuitively, framing design through a neuroaesthetics lens can add a new — and effective — layer to improving their clients' health.”
