The Longevity Revolution: The Built Environment Comes of Age
February 6, 2020 | Time: 1 – 2 p.m
Presented by: BJ Miller, FASID, CCIM
Founder and Principal, The Vision Group
As the aging culture replaces the youth culture, the resulting demand for products, services, and the buildings we inhabit will contribute to the Longevity Revolution. Developing an understanding of how profoundly our health is impacted by the built environment has implications across all design sectors: workplace, hospitality, retail, education, and public space, as well as our homes. This session explores built environment biohacks and emerging living models which allow more choice to accommodate the coming Longevity Revolution.

February 7, 2020 | Time: 10:30 – 11:30 a.m.
Presented by: Angelita Scott, Ph.D., Allied ASID, IDEC
Assistant Professor of Interior Design, Georgia Southern University
Biophilic design, the inclusion of nature into design, has psychological and physiological implications to well-being. Traditionally, however, natural features are not incorporated into the built environment when budget is a critical factor. This seminar will present case studies of design and construction projects making strides in support of “nature for all.”
Materials That Matter
February 7, 2020 | Time: 1 – 2 p.m.
Presented by: Carolyn Ames Noble, ASID, WELL AP
Founder, Ames Design Studio
As we enter the next decade of design, healthy and sustainable design is paramount. In this course, we will explore the material’s role in human health in space. Physical samples will be examined in an interactive demonstration. At the culmination, we’ll survey innovative examples of healthy and sustainable materials in interior design. Designers will leave with a deeper knowledge as they specify healthy and sustainable materials for future projects.
