Bringing Architecture to the Next Level

by Maria Lorena Lehman

Overview

Do your architectural designs foster well-being or discomfort in occupants? Do your designs innovate architecture technology in new ways? And do you make design decisions that pull from the latest scientific findings, including biomimicry design or where design meets neuroscience?

As an architect, your design process is vital to the quality and outcome of your built environments. Yet how do you know if you are creating optimal designs for well-being? Or strategic designs that uplift the future of architecture into new, more innovative realms?

In Bringing Architecture to the Next Level, you will discover how to solve the six greatest design challenges that hinder all architects. And when you unlock these six keys, you position your architectural design process to achieve its highest potential.

Within this one-hour guidebook, you will shift your mindset to reach breakthrough ideas, meet and predict occupant need using sensory design, leverage your design process to get more with less, and rethink technology to unleash your innovative edge. For both architecture and interior design professionals alike, Bringing Architecture to the Next Level will help you integrate innovation in architecture to create environments where people thrive.
