Designing with Healthy Impacts in Mind | Applying the Common Materials Framework for more intentional product choices

📍 Gallery at Ideation Orange | 420 9 Mile Rd, Hazel Park, MI 48030

Let’s Rethink How We Specify, Design, and Build.

Design environments that do more than look good—design with purpose. As experiential graphic designers, architects, and fabricators, we influence how people move through and connect with space. But how often do we consider the full impact of our material choices on people, places, and the planet?

Join SEGD Detroit for an in-person gathering as we stream a live webinar featuring Antonio Holguin of Material Bank, who will introduce the Common Materials Framework—a shared structure to understand and select sustainable building products. This tool helps cut through greenwashing and enables smarter, more responsible material decisions.

What You’ll Gain:

✅ A deeper understanding of material impacts beyond surface aesthetics

✅ Practical strategies to align specs with sustainability frameworks like the AIA Materials Pledge

✅ Tools to advocate for healthier, more transparent product choices

✅ A look at sustainable material alternatives to industry standards, presented by DFab

This webinar qualifies for AIA CEU credit. Attend in person to expand your knowledge and earn professional development hours while networking with fellow design professionals in the SEGD Detroit community.
