Some of its aims are to focus on networking and empowering each of their members, charity projects and mentorship of young designers and students. Key note speaker Helen Gurura, Vice-president of the international association of color consultants and designers gave a captivating talk on the psychological, emotional effects and aspects of color. Said Gurura. “Color cannot be merely prescribed for ‘color’s sale’. It should always be specified to support the function of the building and the tasks being carried out within the architectural space.”
