The Resilience Factor: Commercial Interiors, Climate Change, and Occupant Wellbeing

Description: 

Every project, no matter the scale and scope, has the ability to impact the health, safety and welfare of the occupant. Resilience is not just about new building construction; principles of resilient design can be applied to commercial interiors projects from the real estate search, through design, and continuing into turnover and operations. This session introduces resilience and its application to the interiors market, including how the current state of design, construction, and real estate can be impacted by a focus on responsible, adaptive design.

Hosted by the AIA Interior Architecture Knowledge Community
