SUMMARY:Ecological Futures in Design
DESCRIPTION:This conversation explores the future of ecological design beyond “sustainable materials” —shifting the dialog from replacing one material with another\, and instead rethinking our relationship to matter itself. New ecologies of design are emerging as a practice of building interdependency: with ecosystems\, with communities\, and with non-human life. This panel conversation brings together practitioners across the design world in architecture\, materials design\, human-computer interfaces\, fashion\, and industrial design for a dialog on the frontiers of new design ecologies with biomaterials.  \n  \nFrom extraction and consumption toward participation\, reciprocity\, and new forms of exchange – biomaterials are becoming a medium for new relationships between the built and living world: \n  \n\nOcean Ecosystem Regeneration with Sea Urchin Architectural Surfaces | Virj Kan –  Marblis by Primitives\nBiobased & Natural materials adoption in the Built Environment | Teresa Jan –  Perkins&Will\nDialog on the paradox of making in a climate crisis through fashion | Stella Harry Lee – WithRawMaterials \nNarrative Futures that create awareness and mindfulness around ecology through Fungi | Jerome Tavé – 10th Floor Studio\nBiomaterials and Biosensors: From Growable Interfaces to Biosensing Cosmetics | Katia Vega – Interactive Organisms Lab\, UC Davis\n\n  \nVirj Kan – Marblis by Primitives   \nVirj Kan is a designer\, materials engineer\, and the Founder of Primitives. Primitives is a biodesign lab that develops advanced materials to restore nature’s balance. Through cutting-edge materials science\, innovative design\, and environmental science\, Primitives is working to reshape the modern materials landscape into a platform that drives nature and biodiversity regeneration. Its architectural surfaces brand\, MARBLIS™ brings this vision to the built environment and introduces a new class of stone surfaces called biocalcite\, engineered to support ecosystem repair and design performance. Its debut innovation\, Urchinite™ is a biocalcite surface made from ecologically destructive purple sea urchins\, designed to restore kelp forests and regenerate ocean biodiversity. \n  \nTeresa Jan –  Perkins&Will  \nTeresa Jan is an architect and urbanist who leads design with curiosity and a deep commitment to community\, nature\, and their evolving interconnections. She brings a regenerative design ethos to diverse project types\, striving to advance climate justice through inclusive\, place-based solutions. Teresa listens with intention\, embracing complexity and the nuanced needs of each project to foster meaningful connections between people and the broader climate culture. A passionate advocate for healthy and resilient communities\, she promotes equitable building decarbonization and views all-electric cooking as a vital step toward a climate-aligned future. Teresa recently served as a content leader for The Building Decarbonization Practice Guide: A Zero Carbon Future for the Built Environment. She was a juror for the 2023 AIA Architecture Awards and remains active with AIASF COTE. Teresa also serves on the Northern California Regional Leadership Advisory Board for USGBC-CA. Currently\, she is the Director of Regenerative Design at Perkins & Will architects.  \n  \nStella Harry Lee – WithRawMaterials \nStella is a material and product designer exploring the future of materials and our evolving relationship with them. With a background in fiber arts\, she began by working closely with the raw ingredients of clothing—spinning\, dyeing\, and understanding their origins. Later\, her time at corporate fashion companies challenged her to think more critically about the lifecycle of products and the systems behind them. In response to the endless consumerism in the context of the climate crisis\, her latest work shifts focus toward biodegradable and bio-based materials like seaweed\, algae yarn\, mycelium\, and fish skin. Her work now aims to bridge the worlds of science and consumers through product and textile design. \n  \nJerome Tavé – 10th Floor Studio  \nJerome Tavé (he/him) is an artist with a background in design and has worked as an interaction designer for a variety of companies and design groups\, in addition to teaching in the Web & New Media program at the Academy of Art University in San Francisco. Over the last 6 years\, Jerome has incorporated fungi as a central part of his work. By experimenting with materials\, and presenting them in new ways\, Jerome hopes to explore narratives for new futures\, while creating awareness and mindfulness around ecology. 10th Floor Studio is a conceptual art studio operated by Jerome Tavé and Kyle Lawson focusing on works that envision futures they want to see and build together. \n  \nKatia Vega – Interactive Organisms Lab\, UC Davis \nKatia Vega is an Associate Professor in the Department of Design at the University of California\, Davis\, where she founded and directs the Interactive Organisms Lab. Her research integrates human–computer interaction\, biotechnology\, and wearable technologies to explore how the body and living systems can serve as platforms for computing. She introduced Beauty Technology (electronics embedded into cosmetics) and has since expanded her work to Biocosmetic Interfaces for discreet\, non-invasive health monitoring with cosmetics\, Animal Biosensing Computing for biosensing on animals biofluids\, and Growable Interfaces that employ bio-based materials for sustainable devices.

SUMMARY:Food as Infrastructure with Landscape Architects Christian Douglas Design
DESCRIPTION:In this talk\, principals and landscape architects Christian Douglas and Christian Macke of Christian Douglas Design\, explore food-centered design at every scale – from master plan communities and rooftop farms to hospitality experiences and the humble home garden. Drawing on Douglas’s book The Food Forward Garden and the firm’s broader design philosophy\, the talk reframes food as essential infrastructure: a framework for ecological resilience\, human health\, and lasting environmental impact. \nDirectly following this event\, join us for a Happy Hour on the beautiful Rooftop Garden \nABOUT: \nChristian Douglas Design (CDD) is an award-winning San Francisco Bay Area-based landscape architecture firm specializing in food-focused outdoor spaces that blend ecological resiliency with exceptional beauty. From residential homes and wineries to rooftop farms and large-scale master planning. CDD’s designs are fully immersive\, curated spaces for recreation and relaxation\, foraging and feasting. \n  \nChristian Douglas\n\nFOUNDING PRINCIPAL \nChristian Douglas is a multi-award-winning landscape designer\, creating beautiful and productive outdoor spaces for over 25 years.

SUMMARY:Social Justice Design Tour: Meet the innovative architects and partners behind the new Restorative Justice Hub in SOMA
DESCRIPTION:How can we use space for healing? We invite mission-driven designers and allies to join us at Designing Justice + Designing Spaces’ recently completed restorative justice space for Community Works in SF’s SOMA district to learn about the community-engaged process and innovative partnerships that made it happen! In this volatile time when justice is under attack\,  it is more important than ever that we shine a light on stories of hope\, creativity\, and collaboration in our industry and beyond.  \nDJDS is an architecture and real estate firm harnessing the power of the built environment to end mass incarceration. After 25 years of transforming lives in the Bay Area through programs rooted in humanity and healing\, Community Works partnered with DJDS to establish its first San Francisco office—a dedicated home for critical services that support people at every stage of involvement in the justice system\, from prevention to reentry. The 6\,000-square-foot sanctuary represents a radical alternative to the criminal legal system; instead\, it provides an empowering space where individuals can thrive and feel safe. \nAt this event\, you’ll have the opportunity to see\, touch\, and experience trauma-informed design in action\, and meet the cross-sector team that made this innovative project possible\, including industry leaders such as Turner Construction. We’ll share more about how we were able to collaborate with values-aligned partners at every stage of the project\, from acoustical engineering to custom furnishings. The event will kick off with tours and a cocktail reception\, followed by a panel discussion and Q&A with key partners\, including: \n\nDeanna-Van Buren\, Co-Founder and Executive Director\, Designing Justice + Designing Spaces \nAdrienne Hogg\,  Co-Executive Director\, Community Works\nChelsea Wong\, Project Manager\, Turner Construction\nEmily Pilloton-Lam\, Founder and Executive Director\, Girls Garage\nSasha Plotitsa\, Founder and CEO\, The Formr\nRashanda Udekwu\, Director of Strategic Partnerships\, Waymo (Formerly of CRI) \n\nEvent Surprise! We will unveil a limited-edition furniture piece designed by DJDS and Formr. Proceeds will benefit A New Way of Life\, a nonprofit organization that provides housing and support for formerly incarcerated women. \n  \nPhoto: Jordan Park

Today\, this history of craft and passion for shared making anchors its collaborative process. The firm’s approach to each project is client and site specific\, and includes open communication among clients\, consultants\, fabricators\, and builders. \nAt Aidlin Darling Design\, the firm thinks of design as a sensory art\, one where the way a space feels is as important as how it looks. As a multidisciplinary firm\, this ethos is its guiding principle across projects of any scale\, use\, or purpose. \nThe firm recently collaborated with director Braden King on a film that explores how its studio’s work moves beyond just the visual to engage all of the senses. The result\, Aidlin Darling Design: Architecture for the Senses\, captures the firm’s ethos and commitment to creating soulful environments. \nBAMO \nFor thirty years\, BAMO has created captivating environments that flow\, function\, and make people feel welcome\, at ease\, and inspired to live — and to dream — more fully. A collective of designers\, the firm brings to each project a richness of experience and perspective\, along with an impassioned view of life and our work. \nThe firm engages clients graciously\, listening for the unspoken needs beneath their stated desires. Speaking to the psyche through the senses\, and building in layers of meaning\, the firm creates true havens: places apart from the everyday. Its interpretive skill is matched by the rigor\, expertise\, and ingenuity the firm brings to seeing projects through to completion. This is why hospitality\, residential\, and corporate clients around the world trust BAMO to bring their visions to life.
