Reimagining the city

Fellowship events

 -  | GMT Standard Time

The Steps, RSA House and Online via Zoom

Join us for a Fellow-led panel discussion on how we can transform educational and professional spaces to meet the demands of a rapidly changing world.

As AI reshapes both education and the workplace, how can we reimagine our built environments to foster creativity and innovation? Drawing insights from the groundbreaking space designs of the 90s that spurred the Internet revolution, we’ll explore how lessons from the past can inspire the radical transformations needed in our cities today.

We’ll delve into how to new design environments cater to the unique learning styles of the AI-native generation, identifying key differences and considering innovative approaches for future-ready spaces.

Don’t miss this opportunity to engage with leading experts and discover the cutting-edge of educational design. Tickets are free but space is limited—register now to secure your spot!
