Without having a crystal ball to disclose what’s coming, how do design professionals address the future demands of built environments? Well, to learn more on this question, we were happy to sit down with Mark Bryan & Jonathan Wilch of M+A Architects to hear how they address these design challenges.
Mark is the Director of Innovation + Research, a Sr. Interior Designer, Certified Futurist, and foresight practice leader. Jonathan is the Director of the Healthcare and Higher Education studio as well as the Healthcare Practice Leader at M+A Architects.
Mark and Jonathan describe the roles of a foresight practitioner or futurist and how they apply this technology to the design and construction of a variety of built environments. They highlight a recent project application with The Ohio State University School of Nursing and the correlating signals & drivers to frame respite rooms for clinical staff, designing for experiences, and what the future of architecture might look like in the years ahead.
