James Ludwig on the future of the things we build

The Next 20 Years

For this last episode of our podcast series we have invited James Ludwig to talk about how the things we build and the things we make will have to change in the future. James is the VP at Steelcase Inc. Spearheading their Global Design and Engineering. James is occupied with the human capacity for invention, and for his presentation, he will talk about how future cities, buildings, and products will abandon the idea of the machine and embrace the living organism. Instead of viewing our latest technological achievements as the pinnacles of our imagination, we should figure out how to fuse these technologies into an ecosystem that we want to be a part of.
