Bring the Material World to Your Classroom

Material Intelligence founder Kenn Busch has been creating materials-focused Certified Education Unit articles and presentations for practicing architects and interior designers for more than a dozen years. He’s a seasoned public speaker with a passion for engaging the next generation of interior and furniture designers. With his knowledge of the engineered wood products lifecycle and carbon offset capabilities along with his extensive coverage of international design and materials fairs, he brings a global perspective on sustainability and aesthetics to your classroom.

Speaking of the next generation, don't miss our collection of interviews and profiles of forward-thinking young designers from around the world: voices and visionaries. 

 

“His lecture was informative, engaging, and educational. The material was presented at the right level for my third-year students.

He didn't bore students with too many technical details, but put materials in a global context with his observations from international exhibitions. His coverage of projects created by students and young designers from around the world helped bring students into the conversation. 

Kenn kept the class tuned in, and handled students’ questions well.”
