ATLAS: Exchanging Knowledge is a free lecture series run by the European Council of Interior Architects. It promotes the release of the ATLAS Archive on 25th April 2025 and is funded by the European Union. 

In this month’s lecture, Dr. Joanna Cloy and Mathew Freeman discuss how we can build safe and sustainable indoor environments and therefore future societies by eliminating harmful chemicals in interior design.

Planetary pollution is one of humankind’s greatest challenges, impacting people, wildlife, and the environment. This lecture gives an insight about harmful compounds that can be found in everyday interiors and discusses safe-by-design solutions. Sharing her expertise as an environmental scientist, Dr. Joanna Cloy elaborates on necessary policy and industry actions to protect health and the environment for a safe circular economy in interior design.

Serving as an integral resource for interior architects, designers, researchers, students, and other professionals, ATLAS Archive is a pioneering digital collection that centralizes knowledge within the interior architecture discipline.
