Frame #163 - The Next Space - Autumn 2025

From material durability and sustainable practices to how design supports us as we age, Frame #163 explores longevity in design. Reflecting on the return to craft and Indigenous technologies – as well as the impact of new technologies like AI on heritage – it features projects that are designed to last, to evolve and to disappear.

- Discover which products are prioritizing longevity today, from lighting that could belong to any decade to objects that consider their entire life cycle.

- Delve into the portfolios of forward-thinking design practices shaping everything from second-life timber and adaptable architecture to culturally rooted forms that evolve over time.

- Gain insights into museums that preserve the past and look to the future, affordable housing for ageing populations, AI tools that safeguard architectural heritage, and slow hospitality experiences that frame time as the ultimate luxury.

- Learn from experts in Indigenous nature-based technologies about how reviving or upholding traditional solutions can help us to design for longevity and tackle the climate crisis.

- Be inspired by cross-disciplinary creative projects that respond to shifting climates and mindsets, questioning our relationship with time, longevity – and mortality.
