Future

Architect and educator Donna Goodman will present A History of the Future, a lecture based on her book of the same title that traces the impact of each era of technological innovation on visionary design. The lecture will touch on the impact of the automobile age, World War II, the space age, the media age, and the digital age on 20th-century design and planning.
Donna Goodman, RA, has been on the faculty of
NYSID since 1994. She studied art and philosophy at Smith College and architecture at Columbia University. In addition to her professional practice, she has created drawings of a conceptual future city that present new urban and environmental concepts, media and cybernetic systems, infrastructure and resources.

David Oakey – Respect for the Future
The Sally Henderson Memorial Lecture on Green Design
Whether designing products or a business model,
sustainable-design expert David Oakey inspires architects, designers, and business leaders to change their approach to the “design” process. This shift necessitates reconsideration of materials, products, and processes within the entire business realm. This lecture will trace Oakey’s transition from questioning the sustainability movement nearly a decade ago to becoming a leader in sustainable design.
David Oakey leads global efforts in sustainable or “smart design” inspired by biomimicry,
a discipline that applies nature’s designs and processes to solve
human problems. He passionately follows steps to achieve sustainability through process, product, and people.
Oakey has been featured in Business Week, Fast Company, Interior
Design Magazine, The New York Times, Green Futures Magazine, I.D.
Magazine, and Smithsonian Magazine.
