Entro's Udo Schliemann, Principal Creative Director, and Vedran Dzebic, Head of Research & Development, speak about creating purposeful places though design intuition and colour psychology.
On Thursday, March 11th, join us at noon to hear creative director Udo Schliemann and cognitive neuroscientist Vedran Dzebic speak about creating purposeful places though design intuition and colour psychology.
Feeling blue? Red in the face? White as a ghost? It goes without saying that colour has an intimate relationship with how we think, feel and behave. Yet the application of colour in design is by no means simple or straightforward. By balancing design intuition with the psychology of colour, we will explore how colour can support human needs.

Speakers
Vedran Dzebic | Head of Research and Development at Entro
Vedran leads the research and development practices at Entro. His work sits at the intersection of cognitive neuroscience and environmental design. Through the use of innovative techniques and technologies such as virtual reality, computer vision and machine learning, he explores how the physical environment shapes how we think, feel and behave. By applying rigorous yet human-centred research perspectives, he advances the mandate of building stronger connections between people and place. His expertise ranges from the study of visual complexity within urban environments, to biophilic design, to the role of emerging technologies in shaping how we think about our surroundings.
