The public spotlight often shines brightest on the artistic side of architecture + design. And we agree—this should be celebrated. Yet, too often, the immense value of the technical and delivery side of design is understated; or worse, overlooked altogether. At DELV, we believe in a holistic approach, one that invites a variety of lenses to engage in the design process. In 2014, our very first addition to the team was an architect with such lenses.
Meet Joel Young.
DELV Architect Kelley Miller launches an Indianapolis chapter of PechaKucha—the world’s fastest growing storytelling platform. Japanese for “chit-chat” and used globally in more than 140 countries, the PechaKucha model brings people together to tell powerful, visually-compelling stories in a simple format—20 slides, 20 seconds for each slide.
We sat down with Kelley to dig deeper into her motivation for this new launch and to learn more about how this simple idea is connecting people in meaningful ways.
Interior designer, Marisa Gegg was inspired to apply her design chops in a new way–through textiles. Hosted by Haworth, Mayer Fabrics, and Commercial Office Environments, the Dreamweaver Textile Design Competition awarded Gegg top prize.
