Design Talks | Aidlin Darling Design
Channel: Cooper Hewitt
Date: 2014-05-21

With a shared interest in exploring design across a wide range of scales, programs, and disciplines, partners Joshua Aidlin and David Darling started Aidlin Darling Design around a woodshop in 1998. With an emphasis on designing for all of the senses, they have cultivated a diverse and collaborative studio that acts as the creative hub for an extended network of builders, fabricators, artists, engineers, chefs, and other collaborators. The firm has garnered many regional, national, and international awards including a James Beard Award, two American Architecture Awards from the Chicago Athenaeum, an International Civic Trust Award, and several awards from the AIA, IIDA, and ASLA.

Join us as Aidlin Darling Design speak about their work designing for the dining experience with Cooper-Hewitt's Director, Caroline Baumann, and guest Mitchell Davis, Executive Vice President of the James Beard Foundation.
