What will be the key characteristic of the industry in 2050?

Data and communication will pervade and reshape every aspect of our lives. We need to have the foresight to design buildings that are resilient to change and that will remain relevant in a world with rapidly shifting physical and social structures. We will see an intensification of usage of buildings, spaces and cities that optimises their utilisation. Carbon & Energy will be critical metrics in all aspects of our lives.
