In this presentation we look at how the earth’s elements impact building movement and how the built environment can be responsive to those impacts. Mastering movement means designing buildings with movement in mind and choosing products that can provide better health, wellness, and safety for occupants no matter what the outside environment conjures up. The course will look at products designed for movement, explore new trends, and delve into the ways in which manufacturers and design consultants can help make good movement decisions every step of the way via collaboration and in service to better, more sustainable construction.
