Knowledge network Designplus is set to cross the stratosphere between
design and science with a symposium and research networking event at
Kingston University.
The integration of design and science, with a focus on environments and
well-being, will be the subject of the event organised by Designplus on
12 June at Dorich House, Kingston Vale. It aims to bring together
academics with an interest in the subjects and features work from
various disciplines.
The keynote international address will be by Professor James Wise,

Syntax in Designing Restorative Environments.
Additionally, Professor Charles Spence from Oxford University will speak
on Multisensory Perception: Design Issues for Well-being, Dr Jacques
Mizan from University College London on Combining Science and Design for
Healthy Environments, and Hilary Dalke from Kingston University on
Colour, Design & Healthcare Environments.
