What are we actually building — and for whom?
That was the question at the heart of Kohina’s Susanna Kallio’s talk at Smart Spaces & Design, organised by Professio.
The way we work and live has changed. So have our needs. Yet too often, we continue to design spaces based on yesterday’s demand.
A valuable property is not simply about square metres. It is about relevance.
It was a pleasure to share thoughts on how property value can — and should — be created long before the first line is drawn.
And just as valuable as the presentations were the conversations between the sessions: unexpected encounters, familiar faces and honest exchanges across architecture, real estate and design.
A big thank you to Peter Nyman, an excellent host and facilitator who created the perfect setting for meaningful discussion.
We were particularly inspired by White Arkitekter’s vision for Stockholm Wood City and the possibilities of timber in shaping future urban environments.
Leaving the day with plenty of new thoughts — and even more questions.
What is worth building next?
