"Future of Work: What are we trying to design for now?"

Our speakers were Jacob Culbertson and Luke Ward of Gensler. Their talk covered a wide range of topics, including the 'why' and 'what' of work... They argued:

• Employees now seek purpose at work. "Purpose is the new amenity". "Purpose begins with work culture".

• We need new methods to study work. "Anthropology teaches you *not* to take at face value what people say about their own lives".

• Cities must be more 'liveable'. "The future lies in our autonomy over time, and less so over space".

We highly recommend this talk for anyone with an interest in the future of work and workplace design .
