Few things get me as excited as buildings and spaces that work - and environments that support a purpose. Now more than ever, we need to look at the buildings that have lost their purpose and establish a new life for their next chapter. Let's bring these built structures to their maximum potential by either elevating their positioning or repurposing them for a new use. #RepurposeWithPurpose #SustainableDesign #AdaptiveReuse #BuildingRepositioning #ArchitecturalInnovation #FutureOfWork #DesignThinking #RealEstateDevelopment

Designing for mixed-use spaces requires careful planning, collaboration amongst various stakeholders. Deep information of the wishes and challenges of different user businesses. When finished thoughtfully, combined-use trends can create thriving, sustainable, and harmonious urban environments.

Four days, countless dreams, and one undeniable truth: real estate and architecture are not just about structures, they are about connecting us, to each other and to the experience of living. This year at Cityscape Global 2024, we witnessed the transformative power of empathy in design and the incredible role real estate plays in creating meaningful human connections.  . Cityscape wasn’t just a showcase of groundbreaking architecture and spacial innovation; it was a testament to how empathy, when placed at the heart of design, can scale human belonging. It positioned intentional design within stadiums as the powerful bridge between identities, communities, and dreams. ⭐ My proof (again) that empathy is growing stronger globally. Everywhere.  ⭐ Clarity as to how real estate design connects us to our communities  ⭐ The ever-inspiration of humanity and technology as they evolve together Who wouldn’t want to be part of this incredible journey? Who wouldn't want to live their Life By Design?

The core concept of a "soft city" revolves around creating urban environments that are #adaptable, #diverse, and designed for people, not just vehicles.   Here are 𝟱 𝗸𝗲𝘆 𝗹𝗲𝘀𝘀𝗼𝗻𝘀 we learned from "Soft City":   1️⃣ 𝗛𝘂𝗺𝗮𝗻-𝗰𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗿𝗶𝗰 𝗱𝗲𝘀𝗶𝗴𝗻: Urban spaces should prioritize human scale and experience, fostering walkability, social interaction, and a sense of community. 👥🏙️   2️⃣ 𝗠𝗶𝘅𝗲𝗱-𝘂𝘀𝗲 𝗱𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗹𝗼𝗽𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁: Creating diverse neighborhoods where people can live, work, and play in close proximity reduces the need for long commutes and enhances the vibrancy of urban life. 🏢🛍️   3️⃣ 𝗙𝗹𝗲𝘅𝗶𝗯𝗶𝗹𝗶𝘁𝘆 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗮𝗱𝗮𝗽𝘁𝗮𝗯𝗶𝗹𝗶𝘁𝘆: Cities should be designed with flexibility in mind, allowing them to evolve and adapt to the changing needs of their inhabitants over time. 🛠️🔄   4️⃣ 𝗚𝗿𝗲𝗲𝗻 𝘀𝗽𝗮𝗰𝗲𝘀 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗻𝗮𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗲: Integrating nature into urban environments is essential for improving mental and physical well-being, as well as for fostering environmental sustainability. 🌳🍃   5️⃣ 𝗖𝗼𝗺𝗺𝘂𝗻𝗶𝘁𝘆 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝘀𝗼𝗰𝗶𝗮𝗹 𝗶𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗿𝗮𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻: Encouraging social interaction through thoughtful urban design can create stronger, more connected communities that thrive together. 🤝🏘️   "Soft City" is a must-read for anyone passionate about urban planning, architecture, and the future of cities. 🌍   #UrbanDesign #CityPlanning #SustainableCities #SoftCity #DavidSim #Urbanism

In our twenty years of practice, we have gone through many transitions. As our projects got bigger, so did our impact, making us acutely aware of the immense responsibility that all of us in the building industry carry. We are one world, and one planet. We must act like it and build like it. This #WorldEnvironmentDay, we are renewing our commitment to #NatureIntegratedDesign for creating habitable and sustainable spaces. The spaces we design foster the wellbeing of a project’s end-users, while also minimising environmental impact. As we see it, this is the only viable way forward for design practitioners of today #GenerationRestoration #BASICSarchitects #SustainableDesign Vinod Singhi Ranju Singhi
