Materialisting is excited to announce a new partnership with Metropolia University of Applied Sciences. This collaboration marks a significant step in educating the next generation of interior architects about the importance of sustainable design and material selection.
Metropolia's Interior Architecture program has decided to incorporate Materialisting into its curriculum, providing students with a valuable resource to research and compare the environmental impact of various materials. By utilizing Materialisting's comprehensive database, students can make informed decisions that align with their sustainability goals.
"Materialisting both enables and challenges"
Annaleena Lahtinen, Senior Lecturer of Metropolia's Interior Architecture Department, states:
"Sustainability is just a word and doesn't mean anything in itself. Only when responsible operations can be verified through figures and comparisons does the true nature of things begin to take shape. Materialisting collects data on the climate and environmental impacts of materials used in interior design into a platform service. It's great that information is available through a single service.
Hilda Rantanen [CEO of Materialisting] is a smart problem-solver. It's fantastic to see powerful individuals realizing their vision for a more sustainable design industry. The world needs top-notch people like Hilda."
Lahtinen continues: "Materialisting both enables and challenges designers, clients, and material manufacturers. When everyone agrees and commits to open and transparent operations, we can truly achieve measurable results and move towards more sustainable design solutions. Designers can search, compare, and find better and better materials.
The importance of sustainable material choices is emphasized in interior architecture education. The goal is for students to be able to utilize the Materialisting platform service both during their studies and as professionals after graduation."
A Significant step forward
This partnership between Materialisting and Metropolia represents a significant step forward in promoting sustainable practices within the interior design industry. By equipping students with the tools and knowledge needed to make informed material choices, we are working towards a future where design is both beautiful and environmentally responsible.
