WELL Executive: Up close with Avinash Rajagopal

An IWBI Webcast Series, sponsored by Daikin

A historian of contemporary design and a prolific author, Avinash Rajagopal, Editor in Chief, METROPOLIS, bridges the gap between digital-age innovation and the urgent need for decarbonization. Under his leadership, METROPOLIS has pioneered essential resources like the Climate Toolkit for Interior Design and the Interior Design Pledge for Positive Impact–platforms that challenge designers to hold themselves accountable for the climate, health and social impact of their work.

In this installment of the WELL Executive, IWBI President and CEO Rachel Hodgdon sits down with Avi to explore the historian’s perspective on the future of design. They’ll discuss the critical role of the interior design community in the race to net zero and how the stories we tell about our spaces can drive a more sustainable and inclusive world.
