The Future is Flexible: Rethinking Space for People + Planet

The Future is Flexible: Rethinking Space for People + Planet

As our global population grows, we face an urgent challenge: how to design better spaces for more people with fewer resources. In this thought-provoking talk, Industrial Designer and Chief Product Officer, Sam Burton, introduces unió, a spatial living system grounded in sustainability and human-centred design. Sam challenges you to reimagine “living space” not as a fixed backdrop, but as a fluid tool for self-determination and social connection. This session explores the shift from static, space-hungry homes to dynamic environments that flex and respond to our daily rhythms, embracing a future where architecture is not just built, but lived. This talk will inspire new thinking on the homes of tomorrow and the impact of spatial transformation on the human experience.
