Join us for the second event in the three-part series, What Design Can Do for Human Health and Community Wellbeing, presented by the AIANY Social Science and Architecture Committee. This event invites designers, engineers, architects, students, and anyone interested in the built environment to reflect on how design shapes our daily lives and overall well-being.

Building on the short film What Design Can Do, the guest panelists will discuss the importance of how design impacts human experience, and the challenge of integrating evidence-based design and neuroscience insights into architectural education and practice.

Representing diverse fields including design, development, academic research, and government agencies, the panelists will examine the critical role of architects, social scientists, and allied professionals in centering the human experience within the design process. The discussion will address current challenges, uncover opportunities for innovation, and offer actionable strategies for creating healthier, more equitable environments through collaborative design.
