Future of homes

Among the panels held so far, Reimagining Our Future Habitats looked at "ways to create livable cities in the past and present" while making projections about the future of housing. Dennis Ho, director and East Asia regional design leader for architecture, urban design and landscape architecture at the global design collective Arup, was among the speakers.

"The topic is very relevant in the transformative period we live in; very much affected by the climate crisis, urban growth and the pandemic," he says.

"The BODW panel comes from different backgrounds, with unique knowledge and insights into how we may live in the future. This collective discourse is the key to driving a more diverse and enriched approach when designing our future habitats."
