a diverse group of people enjoying a lecture

Design Pavilion has been postponed to October, but we will keep the conversations alive and on-going virtually through an on-line curation of DESIGN TALKS NOW during May and June.

At a time when content is a dynamic addition to our professional and private lives, we are honored to share programming developed with our prestigious partners. The series will explore topics pointing to the Future, Resiliency and Sustainability, and Humanity as touched by design. And certainly we’ll discuss where we are today, from this day forward.

Design for Harmony: A Holistic Design Philosophy

May 19, 2020, 12:00 pm

How can we develop a holistic design philosophy that helps us deliver better experiences and greater value for all? Sustainability concerns are no longer enough to consider. We must evolve our design practices to reach beyond and enhance life on all levels. The goal of ecological harmony is to design with nature, like nature in order to develop urban solutions that measurably improve the wellbeing of all life.
