Connectivity
Thanks to digital technologies, we are more connected today than we have ever been before. Now that the real and the digital world are progressively merging, new space for innovation with regard to the design of hybrid living environments is being created.

Silver Society
The widely varying impacts of the shift in demographics towards an ageing society presents us with huge challenges – but also opens up great opportunities for a new sociocultural vitality. An inclusive understanding of design guarantees quality of life – at any age.

Health
As a result of the pandemic, our understanding of health has evolved from an individual endeavor into an overall societal task. Although health continues to be a lifestyle component, the focus is on shaping an environment which can ensure the welfare of all as much as possible.

Urbanisation
As intersections of the globalized world society, cities function as workshops of innovation for social justice, innovative technologies and new forms of living together.

Mobility
The world of mobility is in transition: digitalization, the shift to renewable energy and new lifestyles are driving a wave of innovation that is giving rise to all kinds of new services and offerings. But it isn’t just the vehicles themselves that are adapting. The structures around them are also becoming adaptive, sustainable and connected.

Neo Ecology
As it enters an ecological age, the world community is currently undergoing an economic and industrial transformation that is affecting all areas of life and society. The sustainability paradigm is changing behaviors and perspectives regarding society, culture and politics – and is fundamentally restructuring corporate policy as well as the economic system as a whole.
