Dak Kopec (Interior Architecture and Design) presented at Hochschule für Technik Stuttgart (Germany) on the topic of Trauma Informed Design on October 16.
We live in a divided world where violence, in one form or another, dominates the daily news. With this global trend, Interior design is being called upon to provide environments that support real and perceived safety, security, privacy, accessibility, and personal control. The design of these environments requires predesign research followed by the implementation of established theoretical frameworks to avoid unintended triggers and potential retraumatization.
