This year’s theme, Designing Time, focuses on creating experiences and interactions that engage our senses across various design disciplines. It emphasizes designing time within specific spaces—whether in homes, structures, or public areas like campus squares. This approach fosters immersive experiences and meaningful interactions that resonate with all the senses, contributing to diverse cultures over time.
Scheduled for November 29 as a hybrid event, the half-day Forum will bring together distinguished leaders for high-level dialogues, offering insights into past design processes and preparing for the future.
