IIDA Industry Roundtable Report 25

Industry Roundtable Report

The future starts now: For 25 years, we've gathered at the IIDA Industry Roundtable, this year we decide where the next 25 years might take our community of thinkers and doers in design. We’ve built a strong network of diverse viewpoints — we challenge each other, but we’re allied and united in our strong intention to build a better design industry and profession. We’ve equipped a generation of leaders with actionable plans and strategies.

Perspective: Future Female

In this issue we center the contributions of women in design. We look at the projects, firms, and people that are shaping the future of our industry—join us as we travel from Australia to Italy and around the U.S. for insights into entrepreneurship, leadership, breaking the rules, and morning affirmations.

Perspective: Innovation

Perspective

In this issue of Perspective, we investigate how the pandemic is pushing designers to think differently—how are we innovating, and what can that mean for how we rethink the future. We look at prefabrication, a 300-year ryokan transformed into a contemporary hotel, and next-gen, flexible design.

Perspective: Community

Perspective

In this issue of Perspective, we take a look at what community means. How has COVID-19 shifted how we look at "place," from workplace to retail we hear from designers as they explore new ways of thinking about how to design spaces for a changed world.

Perspective: Access

Perspective

What it means to have access? We talk with designers about how to provide deeper access to design education at the K-12 level, and accessible design for those with impaired vision or mobility. How can our industry truly become more diverse and inclusive?

Perspective: Fast-Forward

Perspective

A look forward—COVID-19 has changed everything, we look forward to what is in store in the workplace, the new urbanism, automation, and how to manage mental health in the workplace. Andrés Duany on the new, new urbanism, shifts towards the next normal, automation, and more.
