Promoting well-being through architecture design and wearable technology The Art in STEAM

- Visual Arts
In this special episode Nour the host and founder of Femme Designers really lets the guests do all the talking, with a deep dive into wearable technology, the intersection of photobiology and how design can affect our mental health.
Maroula Zacharias is an architect, designer, researcher, and founder of Atelier Morphology — a Boston-based smart, robotic lighting studio focused on transforming the interiors’ connection to nature through light. Her cross-disciplinary work is a bridge between the human body, its senses and biological rhythms, and the built environment we inhabit. Using 3d-printable bio-composites and re-configurable optics, she creates material systems that are dynamically attuned to essential photo biological processes of life.
Katarina Richter-Lunn is an architectural designer and researcher pursuing her Doctorate of Design at Harvard. Her primary research lies at the intersection of design, psychology, and neuroscience to address mental well-being through our environment. As part of this work, she explores perception through the lens of material development, wearables, computational design, affective computing, and robotics.
