Let's talk about cities of the future! ✨ 🏙️ As #urbanization picks up speed, cities need to be smarter, more efficient and more sustainable. In an interview with Authority Magazine (Dina Costandina Aletra), FTI's Mark Bryan dives into the future of urban communities, exploring everything from additive manufacturing to digital twins. Mark, the head of our #builtenvironment practice, combines his decades of experience as an interior designer with asking the right questions. His curiosity and knack for storytelling are key to his success as a #foresight strategist. Want to know more about Mark's work and his vision for our cities?

Product Leaders and PMs from 50+ companies packed the room to shed light on the highs and lows of #productmanagement and see how Verdi is using AI to streamline, accelerate, and simplify the way we build products. In just minutes, everyone had used Verdi to discover and shape their ideas for how AI will change the products they build and the way they build them. -- Thanks to Kiln Lehi for the beautiful space, and Martina Hahn and Karl Lloyd for the brilliant insights! #ai #innovation #disruption #productmanagement #getverdi

Our cities's needs are changing. Advancements in technology, changes in resident behaviors, and global shifts are creating opportunities for an evolved and connected ecosystem within cities of the future. This new ecosystem has opportunities to be more efficient and sustainable, as I discussed in my recent interview with Authority Magazine and Dina Costandina Aletra. This does not come without its challenges. However, in the interview, I outline 5 strategic considerations for helping create the cities of the future that we all deserve. Check it out!

Our #initiative, ‘From the ARRchives,’ is more than just a series of conversations; it’s a heartfelt effort to #connect with individuals passionate about sustainability and art. This journey led us to the most humble soul, and we couldn't be more grateful. We had the incredible fortune of welcoming Ms. Chandrika Sahay, Principal Architect and Director at Meraki Dezine, to ARRCOAT. Ms. Sahay, a true visionary in architecture, has been making an impact for over two #decades with her innovative and sustainable designs. In our #conversation, we delved into a range of topics—art, architecture, and sustainability—exploring how Ms. Sahay seamlessly blends these elements into her work. Her words resonated deeply with us as she emphasised staying true to one’s #work, ensuring that everything else will naturally fall into place. Ms. Sahay’s #humility, wisdom, and dedication were truly inspiring. She reminded us of the responsibility we hold as creators and protectors of our environment. Her vision aligns perfectly with our mission at ARRCOAT—introducing #sustainability through #art — and we are honoured to have had the opportunity to learn from her. We need more people like Ms. Chandrika Sahay—individuals who not only dream but also take #action to make the world a better place. Her insights fuelled our journey, and we are excited to continue building a #community of like-minded individuals dedicated to creating positive change in architecture and design. This is an open #invitation to everybody making a difference; let’s align our paths and #collaborate to add value to this world! #CommunityBuilding #JoinUs #ConversationToUplift

🌏 Good Empire’s founder Andre Eikmeier and co-founder Tom Pennington have been blessed with an invitation from the amazing team at SXSW Sydney to share their thoughts on building smart places that put people first. Tomorrow, we’ll be joining the incredible Fiona Vale, co-founder of Humanico, for a powerful conversation: “Of Beauty Rich and Not So Rare: Stepping Up on Smart Places.” Together, we’ll unpack how different sectors are driving the future of smart, sustainable living—showing that true innovation isn’t just about technology, but about communities, empathy, and designing for people. 💡 Imagine if… your local town or neighborhood—not just a major city—was a global leader in smart living. Imagine if citizen voices shaped every decision about the future of our places, from inclusive transport to community-owned energy systems. We'll explore how citizen-centric design can create spaces that are smart because they listen to those who live, work, and play in them. We want you to #join this conversation. What role can we all play in building places where everyone feels empowered, connected, and cared for? And how can we ensure technology serves humanity—not the other way around? ✨ Two Free Tickets Giveaway: We’re offering two free SXSW tickets to the two most thoughtful replies!
