Leading urban strategist and architect Timothy Swanson of CannonDesign, Chicago, is coming to New Zealand for three keynote presentations at the Design Experience Series in Auckland on 19 March, Christchurch on 21 March and Queenstown on 22 March.

The youngest person to ever lead a CannonDesign office, Tim guides 200+ architects, engineers, designers, planners and strategists, creating projects in locations as varied as rural India, New York, Chicago and the Middle East.

Swanson is broadly experienced in smart growth and sustainable development, working with leaders at the intersection of urban planning, public health and education, identifying new ways design and strategy can positively influence socioeconomic conditions.

Tim’s talk is titled FutureBuilt: Today’s Cities to Tomorrow’s Jobs, and takes on the challenging topics of building for a world with environmental change, less raw materials, much higher density and changing workforce – topics that are relevant in New Zealand as much as they are in every growing nation of the world.

A combination of a keynote speaker session and mini-trade fair, the Design Experience Series is designed to provide an environment where industry professionals can enhance their expertise, network with peers and discover new and innovative products.

Attendees can earn CPD and LBP points.

It is free to attend with registration. More info and register here.
