There will be a spacious relaxation area, and of course a bar that represents the historic brewery grounds on which the exhibition is located.To complement the exhibition, there will also be curated talks by renowned architects, designers and thought leaders.

How do we design cities that support a sense of belonging? How do we feel seen and meet in our communities?These questions will be the springboard for three inspiring talks. The talks will be moderated and curated by London-based editor Amy Frearson (ex. Dezeen) and co-founder of The Lobby, Dorte Bagge.“We live in a time where there are endless modes of connectivity but how do wetruly meet the inherent human need to connect with our surroundings?
