On the final day of Future Fest, Architizer’s Editor in Chief Paul Keskeys is joined by Wandile Mthiyane, Founder of Ubuntu Design Group and The Anti-Racist Hot Dog, to give their thoughts on what comes next for the built environment — at every scale.
We also asked the audience to take part by giving us their boldest architectural predictions.
During this talk, you’ll learn:
- How cities might evolve over the next 50 years to combat mounting challenges such as climate change, socio-economic inequality and overpopulation.
- How individual buildings may set new benchmarks for the wider profession, from new forms of housing to high-tech construction techniques.
- How the materials we have conventionally used in construction may be replaced by a new range of more sustainable, energy-efficient and resilient alternatives.
