BRAVE NEW SPACE – Redesigning Human Connection


Philipp Kirnbauer

Interactive Keynote & Discussion (EN)

Rethink real estate as a strategic tool for cultural capital — designed to foster connection, creativity, and human flourishing.

Rooted in pioneering research from UCL London and HSLU Lucerne , and shaped in dialogue with Google, Zaha Hadid Architects, and Vitra, BRAVE NEW SPACE explores how hospitality and design can create gravity — drawing people together through random encounters and shared purpose.

Philipp Kirnbauer reveals why serendipity is strategic, and how we can move beyond aesthetics to shape resonant spaces — places that connect with people on a deeper level and foster culture, well-being, and measurable social impact.
