Life Interrupted: How Home Design Can Reconnect Us

Description:

The pandemic has disrupted how we connect—with others, with ourselves, and with our surroundings—as we spend more time than ever at home. Design, however, can shape our perceptions, transforming our feelings from confined to comforted. But how do we inspire those emotional connections with our spaces, and what underlying design elements make us feel content within a home? And as the lines between work and home blur even further, how do we design our spaces to foster connections with others—whether that means shifting away from the virtual and into the physical environment or creating the best atmosphere for digital discussions? From supporting personal well-being to bringing loved ones together, this discussion will examine design choices that can revitalize human connection.
