Rethinking Materials for Design

Description

Introducing Wellness Wednesday, presented by the ASID NY Metro Health, Wellness & Sustainability Committee. 

Rethinking Materials for Design: Jonsara Ruth is the Co-Founder and Design Director of Healthy Materials Lab at Parsons School of Design and will discuss the following questions during this interactive webinar for our chapter members.

  • Why should we care about healthy materials for interiors?
  • How can Interior Designers dramatically impact people’s long-term health and well-being?
  • What if designers placed people's health at the center of all design decisions?
  • More and more scientific studies show that the materials surrounding us have a profound impact on human health. What if manufacturers of building materials considered the effects of production on people and on our planet's ecologies?
