Join us for the second event of Crossing Design Borders, an annual speaker series launched by the USC School of Architecture in partnership with USC Visions and Voices. This year’s distinguished guest is Sadie Morgan, an acclaimed designer and co-founding director of the London-based firm dRMM.Following an introduction by Brett Steele, dean of the USC School of Architecture, Morgan will discuss integrity through design. What makes design good or bad? What are today’s priorities or ambitions for design excellence in our built environment? What must design support and achieve for it to bring value to people’s lives, and how can design reconcile what people need with what the planet and our ecological system can withstand? Championing longevity, well-being, and resilience in national development, Morgan will address the role of design at different levels and scales of development, what and who make good design happen, and how to widen that pool of decision makers. She will also look at practical examples where early design testing and thinking have helped elevate the impact of infrastructure projects on both people and place.
Presented by USC Visions and Voices and the USC School of Architecture.
