Humans in the Future of Work? By: Kerala Woods
Ten leading experts answer this important question. For this year’s ‘DesignTO Symposium, Unlocking the Future of Work’, 10 leading experts explore the question: What about humans in the future of work? As technology develops and concepts of work evolve, these designers and innovators will investigate the ways in which humanity will change along with work. Here’s what some of them will be talking about. “The Internet has allowed architecture to develop in new and exciting ways, but it has also created new dangers,” says Wendy W Fok, Creative Director and Founder of WE-DESIGNS. Fok believes the fields of architecture, engineering and construction can gain a better understanding of how to regulate ownership and authorship by drawing influence from other disciplines, including computer science, music, fashion, economics and law.
