Trends in Design

We will explore 4 major forces driving the evolution of design today:

Designing Experience

Virtual reality enables designers to model complex products, buildings, infrastructures or even cities within their own virtual environment, and experience them before they even exist.

Design is Tribes

Design is social and collaborative. We draw inspiration from the wealth of talent and creativity in the ecosystem, driving co-creation for identity-changing experiences.

Design is Science-Driven

Automation and generative design technologies mimic the beauty of nature to accelerate and sustain the innovation process.

Design is the Business Plan

Design affects the way consumers interact with products, giving rise to new business models in which modern ecosystems reinvent product purpose and a range of new applications.
