EVENT THEME
Detailing Interiors
In some ways, architectural projects succeed or fail based upon how well material and system junctions are negotiated. This is just as true for interior projects as it is for entire buildings. How does the wall meet the floor? How does one ceiling system transition to another? How are mechanical registers handled? When these small junctures are deftly detailed the effects ripple out across the entire project, so it pays to know how manufacturers’ systems work so you can successfully bring them together. In this accredited workshop, experts will lead tutorials on a variety of interior detailing conditions.

This course introduces interior designers and architects to the innovative fields of Neuroaesthetics, Neuroarchitecture, and Biomimicry, focusing on integrating Preserved Gardens and Biophilic Design principles. Participants will learn to create environments that enhance human well-being and environmental sustainability, exploring design elements’ psychological and regenerative impact.
The curriculum is structured to progress from fundamental concepts to more intricate applications, making it ideal for professionals aiming to incorporate cutting-edge science & Evidence Based Design into their design practices.
Learning Objectives
- Explain the basic principles of neuroaesthetics and neuroarchitecture and how these disciplines intersect with interior design and architecture, using insights from key studies and research.
- Apply the concepts of biophilic design and sensory experience to enhance indoor environments and boost mental health and productivity via biomimicry.
- Design spaces that integrate preserved natural elements, such as moss walls and preserved gardens, and form a dynamic fusion between aesthetic values and psychological well-being.
- Critically evaluate and adapt existing architectural and interior designs to better comply with Neuroaesthetics principles, improving both the functionality and the human experience within designed spaces.

This course explores how channel-specific needs drive flooring design and material selection. Architects will examine multifamily, commercial, and single-family residential applications, learning to match flooring solutions to performance, aesthetic, and budget requirements. Participants will gain insights into resilient and wood flooring options that meet diverse project demands and market expectations.
Course Abstract:
Every project type demands its own flooring solution. In this course, architects will explore how material performance, visual design, and cost considerations shift across three key market channels: multifamily, commercial, and single-family residential development.
Participants will analyze industry trends and performance requirements unique to each segment, examining real-world challenges and how resilient and wood flooring solutions can address them. Multifamily spaces prioritize budget-conscious, durable, and stylish LVT solutions; commercial environments demand high-end visual appeal and easy maintenance, favoring loose lay and luxury vinyl systems; and single-family developments elevate design expectations with premium wood flooring.
This session also explains the differences between LVT, LVP, and LVF to help architects specify confidently.
Through a blend of material science, design trends, and market insights, participants will learn how to align flooring performance with the needs of occupants, owners, and developers.
Architects will leave with a strategic framework for selecting appropriate flooring solutions that balance resilience, aesthetic goals, and project budgets—delivering spaces that perform beautifully in every market segment.
Learning Objectives
- Analyze performance needs, design trends, and cost priorities across multifamily, commercial, and single-family residential segments.
- Compare key resilient and wood flooring solutions and their benefits based on project application.
- Differentiate between LVT, LVP, and LVF flooring types to improve specification accuracy.
- Evaluate how material construction impacts durability, maintenance, and acoustic properties in different environments.
- Apply channel-specific flooring strategies to enhance occupant satisfaction, design outcomes, and project value.
