AADU | Prioritizing Health, Wellness, and Equity through Material Choice
Join the Asian American Designers Union and Net Zero conference speakers for a panel discussion
Both architects and manufacturers have a significant role to play in moving the practice of material selection beyond one based on aesthetics, cost and durability to one that equally considers embodied carbon, toxicity, human health and social equity. This panel will share their resources and methods for improving accountability within the industry through Miller Hull’s Red List Action Plan and through Miller Knoll’s goal to leverage the power of their collective brands to design a more equitable and sustainable world. Using the University of Washington’s Center for Population Health as a case study, the panel will share lessons learned on how a healthy materials plan can inspire design and how through collaboration and transparency, we can move towards a more healthy, equitable future.
