Futurewave: Five Ideas Driving Design

Special Host: Verda Alexander, Co-Founder, Studio O + A

Guest: Royce Epstein, A&D Design Director, Mohawk Group

In this podcast, we take a glimpse into the design industry at large through cultural shifts that are affecting how we live, such as the digital revolution, climate change, and the COVID-19 pandemic. As our environments – both natural and built - are influenced by these cultural shifts, we will explore five categories that will have a big impact on design in the future: Biobased; Phygital; Social Impact; Localvism; and Survival. By looking at these areas, Verda and Royce discuss solutions for making positive change through design.
