Jenny Jones is a practitioner, educator and adviser. She runs her architecture and design studio in the United Kingdom and runs the Interior Futures Platform, on the Masters Program at the Royal College or Art in London. She is a client adviser for the Royal Institute of British Architects and is the chair for the Royal Institute of Architects in Scotland Awards 2020/21. Here she gives a short talk about how she came to be involved with the Conscious Cities movement, and why it matters to the practice of designing our environments. “The design of our environments has a profound impact on us and has the potential to create conditions for flourishing. As an architect, I find the more I learn from the world of the cognitive sciences, the more my design advocacy and inquiry grows, which in turn creates more confidence in communicating and translating the social value of design, in a language inspired and informed by both citation and intuition.” www.studiojennyjones.com
