Schools and Firms Endorse the National Academy of Environmental Design
Since the National Academy of Environmental Design’s (NAED) creation in May 2007, the organization has made great strides toward its goals of establishing itself to eventually exist as a parallel structure to the existing National Academies. Very quickly the NAED formed a steering committee, which now comprises more than 20 organizations representing over 500,000 individuals in the environmental design disciplines of architecture, engineering, interior design, landscape architecture, planning, and communications design. Together, these experts, in areas of scientific and technological endeavor, have begun devising research programs to address critical issues that affect the flourishing of individuals, communities, and the natural world.
A Steering Committee primarily composed of academic and professional leaders of the key design disciplines has incorporated the NAED in Washington D.C. and is currently forming a governing council.
