On October 13at the Congdon Yards in High Point, attendees will hear from Dr. Rebecca Tapia, a brain function specialist from the University of Texas, on how designers should approach clients the way she approaches patients. Determine needs and symptoms, and then diagnose the design remedy!

– Are you using the new technologies that predict where the mind’s eye will be attracted and read emotional reactions to images? You’ll learn about them at the symposium!

– We’ll include presentations on Science in Design, the Science of Color, and a special, personal interview with two faculty members of Science in Design, Don Ruggles and Ann Sussman, authors of “Beauty, Neuroscience and Architecture”, and “Cognitive Architecture”, respectively.

You will interact with, and experience the sciences of color, biophilia, and the new technologies at the Home Furnishings Hall of Fame. Two full hours of hands-on learning and experiences! Bring your flashdrive, filled with images, and let science and technology corroborate your work!

– As part of the launch of the Science in Design Certification program, Hooker Furniture and Trio Design Studio are collaborating on an exclusive room display incorporating biophilic design and neuroaesthetic principles. IMotions software will identify the emotions you experience while inside this specially designed room!

Science in Design is breaking the mold. It is the future of design! October will be an exciting, game changing, and validating market for the design industry. Designers, retailers, and manufacturers are coming together to experience the future of design!
