Men and women clearly have different preferences on a variety of topics, as we are all familiar understanding. Tami Greene, Partner and Architect at IKM, asked herself the question one day, ‘Do I design and experience space differently than my male counterparts?” This intriguing inquiry lead her down a rabbit hole of exploration that may be eye opening for those in the Design + Build world to the curious individual who’s interest is also peaked by this question.
Join host Tammy Polenz, Integration Manager of Active Design with levelHEADS Inc and Tami Greene in this discussion about how men and women perceive the world differently and why Designers should consider these differences when creating spaces.
