A Universal 5-Star – How to Design for Today’s Unpredictable Workforce
As choice transitions from a luxury to a necessity, the obligation to provide for flexibility poses a significant challenge for organizations when crafting work environments and policies that are unswervingly aligned to the diverse needs of their workforce. Balancing varying provisions and office time preferences can seem like an insurmountable task when attempting to please everyone. Join us for Episode 46 as we explore methods for unravelling the complexities of employee needs to create a 5-star experience for all.

What do we do when “home” is a commodity and homelessness is reduced to a violation of property rights?

Adapted from the Shenzhen Museum of Contemporary Art and Urban Planning’s large-scale solo exhibition that ran last year, “Ma Yansong: Landscapes in Motion” has been exclusively curated for the HKDI Gallery by its founder, and principal partner of MAD Architects - an architectural collective, Ma Yansong. After graduating from Yale University in 2002, Ma has participated in various international exhibitions and is now set to debut his first-ever large-scale solo exhibition in Hong Kong, solidifying his status as one of China’s most influential architects. The exhibition presents MAD’s most significant urban architectural projects in history led by Ma Yansong, including the soon-to-be-completed Shenzhen Bay Cultural Park, the Lucas Museum of Narrative Art in Los Angeles, and the FENIX Museum of Migration in Rotterdam. In addition to Ma Yansong's thought-provoking design concepts and imaginative vision, this exhibition offers a glimpse into the future of urban civilization – proffering a harmonious coexistence of urban landscapes, historical sites, and natural environments.

We often take plants in the urban landscape for granted: we see them on a daily basis but don’t really look. We usually cannot name them, nor do we know whether they’re edible or have healing properties. It’s typically only when nature becomes a nuisance, for example during allergy season, that we take note of plants in the city.

This May, in Discourse: art across generations and continents (May 4 - 12, 2024), browngrotta arts in Wilton, CT, will assemble an eclectic group of artworks that celebrate artists from different countries, who work with varied materials, and represent distinct artistic approaches. Discourse will feature dozens of contemporary art textiles and fiber sculptures. More than 50 artists from 20 countries will be featured.

Under the Artistic Directorship of Iain Grandage, the 2024 Perth Festival is inspired by the theme of Ngaangk (a Noongar word meaning sun or mother). Giver of life and light, Ngaangk is the ultimate creator – rising, surely, each morning at dawn to break the still darkness of night. Ideas of light and perception, so critical to the experience of the visual arts, punctuate the 2024 Perth Festival program, across a series of projects that encourage consideration of related themes of sustainability,
growth and nourishment, and the tension between heat as both a creative and destructive force.

In occasion of Milan Design Week 2024 Oxilia presents the duo exhibition ‘Tandem’.
The gallery will showcase the minimalist furniture by Danish designer Frederik Fialin, whose practice straddling art and industrial design seamlessly fits into the gallery’s curatorial path, engaging in dialogue with ceramics and tapestries from the ‘Traduslation’ series by French-Swiss artist Réjean Peytavin. In this series, Peytavin’s unmistakably non-conventional approach to exploring production techniques shines through.

Organized by Womxn in Design and Architecture (WDA, @princetonwda), a graduate student group formed in 2014 at Princeton University School of Architecture, this annual conference celebrates the work and memory of a pivotal architect or designer with contributions from international historians and scholars, in addition to artists, musicians, curators, and practitioners. The eighth Womxn in Design Conference at the Princeton School of Architecture honors the life and work of Alero Olympio.

For the forthcoming installation "Homeplace", Matri-Archi(tecture) re-imagines and re-configures the Rotunda at the Pinakothek der Moderne, as a site for critical reflections on the spatiality of dwelling, sharing with–and inviting–visitors to consider what forms and imaginings a home might invoke and hold. In coming together, Matri-Archi(tecture) interrogates the plurality of a homeplace, not fixed in scale, duration or state. Through assemblages of textile, sound and storytelling–mythical, speculative and performative–the installation explores commonalities and possible forms of place-making by centering the homeplace as a place that is both affective and intimate, revealing the dimensions of personal, interpersonal and embodied experiences of belonging.
