| Sensory Design and Eliciting Emotion | CEU-119724 | 2. Interior Design | 10. Space Planning | Health, Safety, Welfare | In person | The built environment, in some ways, is a transition. In terms of homes, it’s a segue from public life to private. External to internal. Various philosophers, including Martin Heidegger and Gaston Bachelard, have put forth influential theories on home and living, romanticizing country life and condemning the city. Perhaps somewhat surprisingly, some contemporary architects and designers have embraced the philosophers’ spatial and sensory theories while rejecting the idea that “home” can only be created in rural areas.
This course will examine Heidegger’s and Bachelard’s theories alongside contemporary homes in both the country and city. It will also analyze the ways in which design can elicit emotion and create experiences. Lastly, it will propose that a sense of balance and form can arise out of objects regardless of their origin, whether organic or man-made.

| GAUGED PORCELAIN | CEU-115530-R1 | 5. Technical Knowledge | 8. Floorcoverings | Health, Safety, Welfare | Both | Ceramic tile is a well-known building material that has been used
for interior and exterior walls and floors for centuries. While
ceramic is a proven material, porcelain tile has gained in
popularity because it is an improved product with superior
performance characteristics such as strength, resistance to stains,
and durability. The key difference is the vitrification of porcelain
tile during the process of firing. Vitrification occurs when fired
clay has fused together completely, so that the pores between
refractory particles are filled with glass formed by heat, making
the tile impervious to water.
ANSI, the American National Standards Institute, defines porcelain tile as:
“a ceramic tile that has a water absorption of 0.5% or less that is generally made by the pressed or extruded method.”

| Out is the New In: Designing Workplaces that Foster Natural Connection | CEU-109496-R2 | 3. Interior Design Education | 1. Instruction | Health, Safety, Welfare | In person | The human body was made for connection - connection to mother nature and all of the health-infusing, mood-boosting benefits she has to offer. But let’s face it, people spend most of their waking hours indoors; at the office, in the car commuting to and from the office, at home catching up on email from the overflow that wasn’t accomplished at the office.
And since ‘the office’ is becoming the place we spend our days (and sometimes even our nights), it is becoming incredibly important to design workspaces that promote happiness, health, and productivity, through the purposeful infusion of biophilic design.
This CEU educates participants on why people need a strong connection to nature at work, the benefits of making these connections through purposeful design, and the tools architects and designers can use to bring the indoors out and the outdoors in in both practical and inspirational ways in the future.

| Lick the Frog | CEU-111636-R2 | 1. Theory & Creativity | 2. Design Creativity | General | In person | Lick the Frog! And other creative thinking techniques……
Creativity is inspired when there is a problem to solve. The first time we encounter a problem we craft a solution and try, if that works, we don’t usually explore other options. What if there are more solutions, better ones? Pushing the boundaries and utilizing Creative Thinking methods is a way to develop novel or unorthodox solutions that do not depend wholly on past or current solutions.
Although some people might seem more “creative” than others, thinking creatively is a skill that all of us can develop and improved using various techniques and practices.
In this session we will:
Explore why creativity is such an important and valuable skill.
Examine what science says is going on in our brains when we are thinking creatively
Define what makes an idea creative
Review techniques that can be utilized to promote creative thinking in all of us. | Intermediate | 1.00 | Teknion | Ongoing | http://www.teknion.com/ | No | No |

In our experience of working with hundreds of design firms across the United States we have found that it starts with the leaders of the architectural practice and whether as they are walking their talk with their own wellness. Most firms in our experience are far from understanding what a
wellness design should look like because they are not practicing wellness in their own lives. This curriculum will explore the parallels between embracing a wellness lifestyle design from a practice management perspective and the positive impact it has on the actual projects being designed. The data we have collected shows us that leaders managing firms that embrace and demonstrate a wellness culture are far more resilient, win more work, increase their creative output, and have higher employee satisfaction. | Basic | 1.00 | Shaw Industries | Ongoing | http://shawfloors.com/ | No | No |

Indeed, most architects spend a lot of design time working natural and artificial lighting into buildings in ways that are both functional and beautiful. Of course, it is really the interplay of that light onto materials and surfaces and the way it is spread throughout a three-dimensional space that produces a total experience. Factor in time of day and different lighting conditions, and the total process is a very dynamic one, not just a static event. Among the materials that are part of an architect’s palette for incorporating light into buildings, coiled wire fabric is becoming a more widely used medium. With variable light transmission or reflection qualities, it provides a very customizable but cost effective and durable option for achieving a wide range of design outcomes. | Intermediate | 1.00 | Architectural Record | Ongoing | http://continuingeducation.construction.com/ | Yes | No |

| Bathroom Design: The Differentiating Factor | CEU-106879-R2 | 2. Interior Design | Universal Design | Health, Safety, Welfare | Both | For occupants that interact with a building on a daily basis, the restroom performs a crucial function and is also a lynchpin for perception, which can waterfall into their performance and productivity. We inherently are asking people to do something very private in a public space and almost all of our senses are engaged fully when we are in the bathroom even for such a short period of time. However, commercial restrooms are often relegated to an afterthought, a space designed and installed without a great deal of consideration for its impact on occupancy and their experience. Bathrooms then become the weak link of the overall architectural experience of the building. Poor restrooms set a very negative tone and set back the occupant’s perception of the entire building and business, regardless of how beautiful and functional the building may be in every other aspect. | Intermediate | 1.00 | Architectural Record | Ongoing | http://continuingeducation.construction.com/ | Yes | No |

This is true for indoor and outdoor locations as well as many different building types. However, just because there is a functional need doesn’t mean that the solution can’t also be a design feature. Architectural linear drains have been used to achieve both – effective drainage and design feature excellence. Many architects are paying closer attention to the quality of the drainage products and specifying architectural drains instead of commodity solutions. This is particularly true where higher amenities are concerned such as outdoor areas, wellness spaces, wet rooms, balconies, etc. where high-end appearance is required but so is compliance with performance requirements such as effective drainage and accessibility. In this course, we address some of the basic principles and criteria for incorporating architectural drainage and show examples of successful solutions. | Intermediate | 1.00 | Architectural Record | Ongoing | http://continuingeducation.construction.com/ | Yes | No |

| Creating Healthy Education Environments | CEU-121947 | 4. Design Specialties | 1. Corporate/Office | Health, Safety, Welfare | In person | In the U.S. there are over 100,000 K-12 schools and 5,000 colleges and universities that define the education sector of our society. These facilities are central forces in the lives of 60 million K-12 students, 20 million college students, and 13-15 million faculty and staff. Altogether, that represents almost one-third of the U.S. population who spend a significant portion of their day in an educational setting. We take for granted that these facilities are safe, healthy, and productive environments in which children and adults can learn, grow, and develop. However, solid scientific evidence is increasingly linking the epidemic rise in serious health issues among our nation's youth to exposure to conditions and toxins emitted by what have been considered “standard” school building construction materials, cleaning products, and maintenance practices. The alarming reality is that educational settings may be compromising the health of their occupants and children's ability to learn. | Basic | 1.00 | Forbo Flooring Systems | Ongoing | https://www.forbo.com/flooring/en-us/ | Yes | Yes |

Building products can reduce their carbon footprint and even become carbon sinks that help remove excess greenhouse gases from the atmosphere. This session will equip manufacturers, architects, designers, and other building industry professionals with specific and practical strategies for selecting products and materials that reduce embodied carbon emissions and move the industry toward making buildings part of the solution instead of less of the problem. | Intermediate | 1.00 | CEU Events | Ongoing | http://www.ceuevents.com | Yes | Yes |

| Precision & Performance with Manufactured Stone Veneer | CEU-108381-R2 | 5. Technical Knowledge | 3. Bldg. Construction & Materials | General | In person | Manufactured stone veneer is an inspirational design element, born from innovative technology and creative solutions. Also known as MSV, manufactured stone veneer is a lightweight, non-load bearing building material used as a decorative wall covering for exterior or interior surfaces in both residential and commercial construction.
Manufactured stone veneer products are cast in molds taken from carefully selected natural stone, using a process that faithfully captures even the faintest detail. The use of molds also leads to consistent strength of material, and panelized systems can be used for quicker installation. Manufactured stone veneer products adhere to any structurally sound surface and require a simple installation process of lath, scratch coat, mortar, and grout. Each color and texture uses a blend of Portland cement, lightweight natural aggregates, and iron oxide pigments. Even on close examination, manufactured stone looks and feels like natural stone.

Instruction | HSW_Sustainability | In person | Natural Steps in the Evolution of Textiles explores bio-inspired textiles throughout history with considerations for a sustainable future. Man’s journey with textiles began early. From prehistoric string skirts to modern day smart fabrics, we will see how textiles are in our nature. Humans have been inspired by nature’s examples to create textiles that evolve along with us as a second skin. Today we look to nature more than ever before for design solutions to address environmental challenges. Textiles provide unique opportunities to emulate nature and history presents us with many examples. Nature has evolved to develop highly sophisticated examples. Functional surfaces, fibrous structures, structural colors, self-healing, thermal insulation, recycling of waste, energy efficiency, etc. Biophilia, biomimicry, biomimetics, bio-based synthesis, and bio-fabrication are design practices that we embrace as we take the next natural steps to create textiles for a sustainable world. | Intermediate | 1.00 | Mayer Fabrics | Ongoing | http://mayerfabrics.com | Yes | No |

| Neuroaesthetics and The Built Environment | CEU-120027 | 3. Interior Design Education | 1. Instruction | Health, Safety, Welfare | Distance learning | Neuroaesthetics is a relatively new disciple that investigates the biology of aesthetic experiences. I will review its conceptual underpinnings in light of three core questions. What is the biology of aesthetic experiences? How are they malleable? Why do aesthetic responses matter? Given the fact that people in the materially developed world spend more than 90% of their time in the built environment, and our environment has a profound effect on our well-being. I argue that our brains respond automatically to our aesthetic environment by discussing how we harbor hidden behavioral and brain responses to architecture. Our brain responds to spaces based on psychological constructs of coherence, fascination, and hominess. We are often not aware of these responses, the weightings of which varies by individual differences, educational expertise, and the influence of nature. | Intermediate | 0.30 | Science in Design Academy | Ongoing | https://scienceindesign.academy/ | No | No |

However, it has become an outcast as other materials, namely synthetics, take center stage and are touted for – and labeled as - being more “sustainable,” “ethical,” and “cruelty -free.” But in a linear economy, when profit is undeniably and unavoidably the primary priority and requirement, what does “sustainability” even mean? That is, how can we – the consumers – trust or know for certain if what we are being sold is “sustainable” if it’s money over everything – when it really comes down to it. And what does “sustainability” mean to us? Is there a universal meaning and understanding of “sustainability?” A closer look into the Leather Supply Chain could give us some answers.

| Neuroaesthetics and the Built Environment | CEU-120929 | 3. Interior Design Education | 1. Instruction | Health, Safety, Welfare | Both |
“Beauty is, for the greater part, some quality in bodies acting mechanically upon the
human mind by the intervention of the senses”, wrote Burke in 1757. Neuroaesthetics
can be defined as the quest to understand this action, by investigating the neurological
correlates of the aesthetic experience, and the nature of the stimuli that cause it. In
Architecture and Design, it helps ground individual experiences – often dismissed by
professionals – on more solid foundations, giving a newfound basis for forgotten truths:
People need the psychological nourishment provided by immersion in certain types of
environments. The fact that much of current Design is making people feel
uncomfortable should suffice to discredit it, but demonstrating the neurological
underpinnings of these feelings disarms the apologists of an elitist approach from the
last vestiges of scientific credibility.

| Fractal Fluency | CEU-120936 | 3. Interior Design Education | 1. Instruction | Health, Safety, Welfare | Distance learning | Dramatically referred to as ‘the fingerprint of life’, fractals are the basic building block of many
natural patterns. Examples include clouds, trees, and mountains. The growing impact of fractals
on cultures around the world and their prevalence in nature raises a crucial question – does
exposure to fractals have a positive impact on the observer? Using sophisticated techniques such
as eye-tracking, EEG and MRI, I am investigating fractal fluency – the idea that, through
exposure to nature’s fractals, the eye has evolved to process these patterns with relative ease,

| Designing for the Subliminal Brain | CEU-120937 | 3. Interior Design Education | 1. Instruction | General | Distance learning | This class introduces designers to the 21st Century Paradigm shift in Biology; how new, 21st-century understandings in the life sciences transform our understanding of how people function and, in turn, give us significant insights on how to most successfully design for them. A key idea here is that the human design experience begins subliminally, or non-consciously, and our conscious experience and behaviors that follow, always do so from a non-conscious foundation. Attendees will learn about biometric tools, including eye-tracking and facial-expression-analysis software, that can track non-conscious behaviors and are widely used in today's advertising world, and how they can also be applied to both assess and improve outcomes in interior design and architecture. The class reviews the human brain's visual bias and face-bias, as well as its hard-wired aversion to blank spaces and affinity for detail and organized complexity. | Basic | 1.00 | Science in Design | Ongoing | https://scienceindesign.com/ | No | No |

| Neuroaesthetics- Why do we need it | CEU-121056 | 3. Interior Design Education | 1. Instruction | Health, Safety, Welfare | Distance learning | Neuroaesthetics can be defined as the quest to understand the neurological
correlates of the aesthetic experience, and the nature of the stimuli that cause it. In
Architecture and Design, it helps ground individual experiences – often dismissed by
professionals – on more solid foundations, giving a newfound basis for forgotten truths:
People need the psychological nourishment provided by immersion in certain types of
environments. The fact that much of current Design is making people feel
uncomfortable should suffice to discredit it, but demonstrating the neurological
underpinnings of these feelings disarms the apologists of an elitist approach from the
last vestiges of scientific credibility. Here, I will present an overview of the field, some
basic findings and controversies, and discuss the importance of its applications.

| Neuroaesthetics and Evolution | CEU-121057 | 3. Interior Design Education | 1. Instruction | General | Distance learning | The aesthetic appreciation of our surroundings is the manifestation of non-verbal and
often non-conscious computations, resulting from evolutionary processes that promoted
the survival and reproduction of our ancestors through habitat, food and mate selection.
This is not an exclusively human phenomenon, as once thought, as we share aspects of
it with many other species. Evolving exposed to (and as part of) the geometry of nature,
seems to have had a profound impact on the way that we connect to natural forms,
which explains why people feel more comfortable in surroundings with geometrical
properties similar to ancestral evolutionary environments. In this presentation, I will
discuss evolutionary aspects of Neuroaesthetics, along with results of our own work
highlighting the preferential perception of certain forms, and how this knowledge can be
used for creating designs, without restricting creativity: not a “censorship guide”, but a
“spell-check” for design.

nervous system achieves balance when the flow of stress and pleasure inputs is in balance and
this balance is directly affected by the quality of our built environment. This session will look at
the steps that architects and designers can take to help achieve a balanced nervous system
response generated by your designs. During this session we will cover the following pattern
types that you can use to help achieve a homeostatic response:
1. Biophilic patterns from nature known as fractals
2. Biomorphic patterns that approximate curvatures and angles from the human body
3. Bi-Lateral symmetrical facial pattern known as the 3x3 / Nine Square
