Details

Seismic shifts in the ways we work, particularly precipitated by the pandemic, have given us the opportunity to reshape and redesign our future workplace in ways that consider what matters to our work communities in the long run.

As we chart into a post-pandemic world and beyond, how can we frame disruptive approaches to space, human connection and technology within the larger picture of a city-wide or even global evolution of the office? What cultural changes might we anticipate in Singapore over the next 5 years, and what are the design solutions and possibilities that might shape the next generation of workplaces?
