Agenda
2:00 PM - 4:00 PM

W1: In 3030 - Cities Are Without Buildings…Architects Are Currently Neurotects

Dr Ranaa El-Sabaa — Assistant Professor in Architecture,

With Heriot-Watt University, Dubai Imagine a future of architecture moving from a physical to a sensory interface. In Neurotecture, an architect is no longer a designer and builder, but a designer and translator of thought. Spaces are responding to neural signals and morph accordingly, to transform spaces from built to bring imagined, felt and experienced. Portals replace roads, entrances, and doors.

4:00 PM - 6:00 PM

W2: Moodboard Madness 1

Wasif Saddiqui — Sales Manager, Metered Squared Flooring

Join Metered Squared Flooring for an interactive moodboarding workshop designed for creatives to explore how to translate inspiration into cohesive palettes and materials and build your own moodboard that captures the essence of your design approach. Dive into a mix of flooring, fabrics, switches & paints — all yours to explore. No rules, just pure design energy.
