EDRA is one of the organizations that the members of the Health Design Lab value.
We appreciate their mission to "recognize and create more humane environments to improve quality of life for all people" and are willing to participate in their endeavor through our research and design.
Dr. Lim joined the EDRA53 conference in Greenville, South Carolina, and presented her research with her colleagues through multiple presentations. Also, our undergraduate student Jaechang Noh's study was shared via a poster session, congratulations!
Especially this year, Dr. Lim announced the winners of the Great Places Awards during the award ceremony on June 2nd. She co-chaired the Great Places Awards program that recognizes work that combines expertise in design, research, and practice, and contributes to the creation of dynamic, humane places that engage our attention and imagination (Great Places Awards - Environmental Design Research Association (edra.org)).
Lastly, the conference is (always) a great opportunity to meet new colleagues, and re-connect with friends and colleagues, especially with good local food!
We share EDRA's mission and plan to continue putting our efforts into creating better environments for all people through our research and design. We hope to see many of you at the EDRA54 Mexico City conference next year!

"The Environmental Design Research Association (EDRA) is an international, interdisciplinary organization founded in 1968 by design professionals, social scientists, students, educators, and facility managers. EDRA came into being in the 1960s, during a period of social awareness and social unrest, but also new horizons and new visions. True to its origins, EDRA continues to believe in an agenda of social responsibility that has grown from a barely perceptible idea to a more fully-formed vision for healthier, more democratic human environments."
