SUMMARY:Webinar: Interior Architecture Reconsidered (5-4-3) - The future of the hospitality industry
DESCRIPTION:5 Slides\, 4 Questions\, 3 Panellists\, 2 address 1 Topic: How has the pandemic impacted the interior design industry: where were we\, where are we and where will we be?\nThe upcoming webinar series in collaboration with Zaha Hadid Architects explores how the post-pandemic environment has forced us to reconsider our understanding of the traditional definitions of living\, working and leisure. Particularly for the Interior design industry\, these questions necessitate an investigation into the pre-established typologies in both the private and public realms. Hosted by SBID’s founder & CEO\, Vanessa Brady\, the series intends to examine specific typologies\, the conflation of their boundaries\, the emergence of new definitions of interior space and the consequential impact on the people who commission\, design and use them. \nFor PART 1 of the series\, the focus is on the hospitality and travel industries which have faced considerable challenges during the pandemic. The limited mobility and opportunities for interaction between people during this period have meant that demand has waned. On the other hand\, continual restrictions has created a pent-up need to escape and to bolster one’s well-being. The panel discussion will address how hospitality as an industry foresees a fundamental change in the services that it is expected to provide\, and how design can navigate these restrictions while satisfying the needs of current lifestyles. \nSpeakers include: \n\nSBID Vice President\, Kar-Hwa Ho\, Head of Interior Architecture at Zaha Hadid Architects\nDouglas Grieco\, Senior Director of Architecture and Design at Hilton Hotels\nMari Balestrazzi\, Director of Operations for Environments at Airbnb\n\nEvent Details: \nTopic: Interior Architecture Reconsidered (5-4-3): The future of the hospitality industry \nDate: Thursday 22nd July \nTime: 4.00pm (BST) \nDuration: 1 hour \nKey discussion points: \n\nOne key thing that the pandemic has underscored is the need for adaptability. While the focus has been on the immediate need to adapt to rules that keep changing constantly\, how do the effects impact the way hospitality services are programmed and physically designed?\nFor many\, what was missing during this period of enforced isolation\, was the sense of community and connection. While we have experienced the advantages of virtual connection\, how do we design or program experiences in a meaningful and global way?\nWith leisure/personal time being monetized and commodified with a decline in business travel\, has the design of experiences become the starting point of a design brief as opposed to the physical accommodation of its functions? Would we envisage the involvement of interior architects at an early brief development stage to allow for pro-active engagement rather than a reactive response to a pre-determined program?\nWith the hindsight of the last year and a half behind us\, would you approach your current role any differently? What are the key changes?\n\nClick here to register now

SUMMARY:Webinar: Interior Architecture Reconsidered (5-4-3) - The future of the workplace
DESCRIPTION:How has the pandemic impacted the interior design industry: where we were\, where we are and where we will be\nFollowing on from the last episode on the hospitality industry\, the next online panel in collaboration with Zaha Hadid Architects will explore the future of the workplace. Hosted by SBID’s founder & CEO\, Vanessa Brady\, the series intends will continue to examine the new definitions of interior space and the consequential impact on the people who commission\, design and use them. \nWith the two areas most affected by the pandemic being ‘work’ and ‘home’\, and as their traditionally segregated contexts were challenged while the demand for a hybrid work/live space evolved\, the guest speakers will address how their boundaries have blurred and what the future might hold for these fast-changing environments. \nSpeakers include: \n\n Arjun Kaicker\, Co-Head of Analytics & Insights at Zaha Hadid Architects\nJuergen Junker\, Head of A&D Development UK from Vitra\nBidisha Sinha\, Senior Associate at Zaha Hadid Architects\n\nEvent Details: \nTopic: Interior Architecture Reconsidered (5-4-3): The future of the workplace \nDate: Tuesday 14th September \nTime: 12.00pm (BST) \nDuration: 1 hour \nKey discussion points: \n\nHow has the pandemic affected the way we view\, design and use a living / working space?\nFor many industries what was missing during the pandemic\, apart from the physical divisions between work and home\, were the serendipitous encounters that contribute to the sociability and richness of the work environment. Can these encounters be designed and planned?\nHas the pandemic accelerated the natural evolution of the workplace? Were there already existing fault lines that it exploited and exacerbated?\nWith the hopeful return to pre-pandemic normality\, do you envisage ways of working returning to pre-pandemic status quo\, or is there a paradigm shift in how we approach work / live lifestyles?\n\nClick here to register now
