Architectural Juxtaposition

Architects are designing a reimagined community hub

Implications - As urban planners and governments begin to rethink public spaces, architects and designers are challenging convention by creating dynamic mixed-use structures. In combining otherwise unrelated community facilities into a single dynamic structure, organizations can create space-saving civic solutions while investing in urban placemaking.
Workshop Question - What role does community have in your branding and how can you foster that?
Trend Themes
1. Mixed-use Structures - Architects and designers are challenging convention by creating dynamic mixed-use structures that combine unrelated community facilities into a single, space-saving civic solution and investment in urban placemaking.
2. Green Spaces in Urban Centers - Designers are adding green spaces to urban centers with unique and refreshing designs, offering a much-needed refuge for people in densely populated areas.
3. Interactive Conceptual Content - Experience-focused museums are including interactive conceptual content that offer a hands-on cultural learning experience and bring in new audiences.
Industry Implications
1. Architecture and Urban Planning - Adopting new sustainable and creative design solutions for public spaces and community facilities that go beyond traditional approaches is a disruptive innovation opportunity.
2. Tourism and Hospitality - Creating unique and refreshing urban spaces with green areas, including parks, airports or mixed-use structures, could be a competitive advantage to attract and retain customers.
3. Education and Cultural Centers - Integrating interactive conceptual content and innovative architectural designs that provide an engaging experience for visitors and students is a disrupting innovation opportunity.
