Inaugural Professorial Lecture: “Design as a Force for Good” by Sadie Morgan

Prof Sadie Morgan’s lecture chronicled major endeavours over her twenty-five year career, including a selection of projects and roles that have provided fertile testing ground for how design can work to authentically  improve people’s lives. Morgan focused on the lessons learnt throughout – the power of collaborative design thinking and doing; the need for real social value; gender parity and diversity within the industry; the importance of listening and gathering knowledge; the importance of collective criticism; and the need for well-being and quality of life to become central to the built environment.
