Green Tea Hour

Sharing Slow Design Ideas

Open Forum

Slow design, a movement inspired by slow food, calls for designers to consider a more overall lifecycle examination of their projects, to utilize local sourcing, and to take more time to develop ideas that ensure the most well-crafted, ecologically friendly, and economically healthy solutions.

Join AIGA Philadelphia for some wine and a debate on Wednesday May 12. Participants will have a chance to gather with other local designers, artists and thinkers to discuss slow design concepts in an open forum. Share any work, philosophies and ideas you have related to the slow design movement, and afterwards, you'll be given a chance to continue the dialogue online at AIGA Philadelphia's facebook page.

This event is co-moderated by Rob Fleming, LEED® AP, and Chris Pastore, Ph.D., Co-Directors of the Engineering and Design Institute at Philadelphia University, an interdisciplinary research center focusing on green materials, sustainable design and community outreach. Together they host the weekly radio show "Ecoman and the Skeptic."
