Philippine Institute of Interior Designers will launch its first-ever Manila Interior Design Summit this April 10-12, 2023. The theme for the pioneer MIDS event is #DESIGNINGTHEFUTURE.
To celebrate the future of design, society, and creativity, PIID has a lot of activities in store for all the attendees. A Philippine Institute of Interior Designers Creative Walk in partnership with BGC Art Foundation on April 10, a two-day CPD Seminar entitled GRN META: Metamorphosis of Green Spaces on April 11-12, and the launch of the APSDA Awards.
The summit will gather esteemed speakers from the Philippines, Thailand, Malaysia, Indonesia, India, and Singapore to help us formulate our individual answers to the call: How do we want the future of interior design to look like?
“We acknowledge that technology is part of the now and it will also be a huge part of tomorrow. So the question of how we can utilize that for the environment and humanity’s advantage is what we wish to discuss and learn from this year. How can we help as designers? How can we make sustainable and future-proof design decisions? How can we preserve culture and humanity in the spaces that we create? How does the future look like?”
“We often consider the future in the way we live and the decisions that we make daily. As Interior Designers and shapers of the built environment, now more than ever, the call to action is to sculpt spaces that are future-proof, sustainable, and also preserving humanity and culture,“ said Hannah Dumlao, Communications Head of Philippine Institute of Interior Designers (PIID).
“By asking these questions and hearing the answers of different people from the various sectors of the design environment who have begun to explore the aspects of technology, culture, sustainability, and green design, we hope to contribute to the movement of Designing Consciously for the Future,“ she shared.
The main event of MIDS is a two-day seminar for interior designers, architects, and allied professions focusing on strategies and best practices for designing the future in a sustainable manner.
It is poised to explore the key principles of sustainable design– such as minimizing waste, reducing energy consumption, and using environmentally friendly materials, and how these principles can be applied in interior design and architectural projects.
The seminar will also emphasize the importance of collaboration between different designers of the built environment, suppliers and stakeholders in creating sustainable and innovative design solutions.
Aside from the two-day design symposium, PIID has also collaborated with a few collectives to present, promote, and help empower the creativity and vision of the Filipino. Creativity is a huge ingredient of cities, it greatly shapes and tells of the soul of a place. With this in mind, Philippine Institute of Interior Designers is kicking off MIDS with creative activities and initiatives.
