Our Aerial Futures: The Drone Frontier series continued this month in Boston with AERIAL FUTURES: The Third Dimension. This two-part event featured a public panel discussion on emerging Urban Air Mobility and was followed by a think tank with experts from around the world. Discussions from the experts’ meetings were captured by a graphic facilitator and can be viewed here. 

Join us at WantedDesign as we team up with the Consulate General of Switzerland in New York and the Federal Office of Culture – Switzerland to present a new exhibition by one of the most talented up-and-coming Swiss designers. The exhibition Shelter Fallout revolves around the project by Swiss designer Iskander Guetta Abri+ (Shelter+), which he created in 2018 as his master’s thesis in Industrial Design at ECAL, the Lausanne University of Art and Design in Switzerland. Abri+ responds to the need for privacy and human dignity in the often challenging and crammed living conditions in shelters hosting migrants, asylum seekers and homeless people. 

A group of 21 high-level Swiss executives came to Boston last month to better understand and identify key actors that are shaping the future of A.I. and what effects A.I. will have on their businesses. For three days the interdisciplinary group immersed themselves in the Boston ecosystem, engaging with key players in Healthcare, Computer Science, Insurance and Design. Thank you to our participants and partners for a successful program.
