Designing for the Other Four Senses, Part 3 : Taste

Continuing our series, Designing for the Other Four Senses, Lori speaks with the international award-winning Director of The Drawing Room Interiors, Diana Celella, about taste.  Not the ‘good taste’ of a designer or architect, but the way in which interiors can have an impact on health by encouraging appetite. In a follow-up to a previous Innovation Spotlight, we also speak with Salutem Care and Education CEO, John Godden, about the day he switched jobs with a carer and the way it changed his perceptions on needs within the care environment.
