Highlights from the Design Futures Forum 2024: Designing Our Collective Future

Missed the sold-out Design Futures Forum 2024 during #SingaporeDesignWeek? Catch the highlights here!

What will be the role of design and designers in the face of rapidly advancing technologies, a planet that is at the point of “global boiling”, and a future in which the global life expectancy is increasing?

Organised by the DesignSingapore Council (Dsg), the expanded two-day forum investigated the critical role of design and designers in the areas of emerging technology, sustainability, and care through the theme “Designing Our Collective Future”.

Featuring thought leaders and practitioners from Singapore and around the world, the forum explored how people – from an individual scale to a larger, societal one – and design intersect to make a positive impact and create a better future for all beings. Discussions centred around the evolving question of what it means to be a designer in today’s highly complex world, advocating for interdisciplinary collaboration across technology, business, environmental science, health, and inclusivity.
