Primary tabs
Bookings are now open for the BIID Annual Conference 2014. 'Life-Changing Design: Transforming the Human Experience' will tackle the issue of improving interiors through intelligent and creative design with the help of a prestigious line-up of inspirational and influential speakers who will dissect the nature of good design and assess the impact it can have.
"We live in a world, where the vast majority of people realise that design offers enormous power for shaping and changing the human experience," says Sue Timney, President of the BIID. ""Design can be harnessed to solve our problems and make the world a better place. At this year's conference we'll look at how health centres and hospices, leisure and work spaces, retail and residential interiors can all be improved through intelligent and creative design. As the professional body for interior designers, it's our responsibility to tell this story, and help designers and their clients realise just what design can achieve."
Confirmed speakers for the 2014 conference include Lee Penson
from leading architecture and interior design studio Penson, who will
be talking about his practice's involvement in the new Google HQ
development; and Charles Jencks, a trustee and
Co-founder of Maggie's Centres. Charles will explain how Maggie's
Centres have created uplifting environments for cancer care, designed by
some of the world's most renowned architects. Also confirmed is Edwin Heathcote, an architect who has written extensively on subjects ranging from church architecture to the meaning of home.
