GOING BEYOND PROGRAM AND STYLE
Any competent designer can make a reasonably attractive home that checks the basic boxes of utility and comfort. But what are the elements that will take design to the next level, truly capturing the heart as well as housing the body? This talk will help us learn how to both understand and evoke the emotional responses that always belong to the places we design and build.

The North Bennet Street School in Boston will host this talk. Doors will open at 5:30 p.m. for networking, apps, and drinks; the program will start at 6:30 p.m. More details to follow soon!
