Juliana Sharkey (Manufacturers Representative at 3Form) spoke to FIU Interior Architecture students in the course Materials for Interiors. Materials for Interiors, taught by Adjunct Faculty Lisette Boosooboy, is a blended learning lecture course that introduces students to the analysis and research of critical issues affecting selection and application of interior finish materials.
In addition to discussing the use of materials like acrylic, resin, poly carbonate, and glass in design, Sharkey spoke to the students about LEED v4, which is “the newest version of the world’s premier benchmark for high-performance green buildings.” LEED, or Leadership in Energy & Environmental Design, is a green building certification program that recognizes best-in-class building strategies and practices.
