THE IMPACT

OF DESIGN

BY LISA H . FITZPATRICK , M . A ., ASID

Every morning we awake to design . From the first sights and sounds as we roll over to silence our morning alarms , to the lighting that leads us through our morning routines , to the flooring below our feet as we find the perfect outfit to inspire us throughout our day .

Imagine the world without design . As humans we are all individuals and share a common bond of the human body within a space . We exist in space and time . Do we need pretty things to exist ? No , but we do need shelter from the elements . Our shelters have changed over the years from simple structures to complex entities . Interior designers and architects are tasked with creative involvement backed by research , code specific design , and the safety of a creation that functions and inspires to make a true impact on how we live , work , play , and heal .
