New Task Forces Support Design's Role in Pandemic Response
The American Society of Interior Designers is leading the profession in the fight against COVID-19, using the rich experience and knowledge of its membership and other stakeholders to form two new task forces: the ASID Adaptive Living Task Force and the ASID IMPACT Review Task Force.
Focused on studying design and construction issues related to the pandemic and how the future of design will change as a result, the task forces fall under the Society's member-led Advocate by Design Council, which advises ASID's Government & Public Affairs Department on matters of federal, state, local and regulatory public policies that protect and advance the practice and industry. By activating the creativity and innovation of the design profession, in combination with the subject matter expertise of practitioners in other fields, ASID will amplify the power of design and its importance in the response to COVID-19 and future pandemics, improving environments for all.
