Between October 18-24, 2020, the Centre for Conscious Design (CCD) presents Conscious Cities Festival 2020: To Shape and be Shaped. Hosted at venues and online platforms around the world, this year's festival will feature 15+ event series to discuss how Conscious Design can empower and meet the needs of local communities and individuals. Conscious Design is a continually evolving process that incorporates systems and structures, science, storytelling, and participatory-design.

“Home” is now at the centre of the pandemic. With the commendation for isolation, quarantine, or lockdown, as a way of battling the virus, most of our lives are expelled from the public realm. It would appear we are now exiled at home. We have all retreated to a home space as much as we can, in whatever way we have configured a home. Even with some gradual relaxation, we are still mostly homebound. Which only makes home a poignant place, and makes us think it anew. Oftentimes, a thing that is closest to us and we take for granted—such as home—appears in a new light when the rhythms around it are altered, disrupted, or heightened.

What is the future of education, and what role will online learning play? This panel discussion will begin with a short presentation by Sanjay Sarma, Head of Open Learning at MIT and author of 'Grasp: The Science Transforming How We Learn,’ and Nader Tehrani (Cooper Union), Sarita Vijayan (For Young India), and Areti Markopoulou (IaaC Barcelona) will discuss the future of education in the age of Covid-19.

The vision for the project is to build unique and innovative showrooms, in Uhud area, Dammam city, Saudi Arabia. Our aim is to design a modern, cost-effective space that attracts prominent tenants of F&B and retail shops. The architect should create an integrated design of the project’s architecture, landscape and public indoor area.
