December 10, 2002, DALTON, GA - The Carpet and Rug Institute (CRI) recently partnered with the American Society of Interior Designers (ASID) and the University of Minnesota to support a three-year project of the InformeDesign web site, an online database of research in the fields of design and human behavior.

This online resource was created for use by architects and designers, but is available to the general public at www.informedesign.umn.edu. The website contains research summaries in a user-friendly format, updated on a regular basis. CRI will contribute research summaries for the site.
