KC Design Week | Using Design Psychology to Create Ideal Spaces
What does it mean to be a Design Psychologist? Find out from Toby Israel, Ph.D.
Defined as “the practice of architecture, planning and interior design in which psychology is the principal design tool”, this new discipline continues to gain international attention. You may have recently viewed articles in Oprah Home, The New York Times and The Wall Street Journal or heard Dr. Israel interviewed on NPR’s Talk of the Nation and Radio Times. Unlike traditional designers, she helps clients “design from within” to create an authentic place that is not only aesthetically pleasing, but also supports positive growth and change.
In this presentation Dr. Israel gives examples of how the Design Psychology process can be applied to real projects, including residential, institutional and corporate. Participants will have the opportunity to complete hands-on exercises from the “Design Psychology Toolbox” — exercises that can be used to help the designer create ideal places.
Trained as an Environmental Psychologist, Dr. Israel has over 25 years of experience in design, psychology, the arts and education. She is the author of Some Place Like Home: Using Design Psychology to Create Ideal Environments, which summarizes her groundbreaking theories.
