"BUILDING VALUE"
From Heritage Preservation to Adaptive Reuse

"Designing the Iconic: Harmonising Data, Design and Experience"

Through projects including King Abdullah Financial District, World of Volvo and Lighthouse at Darling Park, Viggo will examine how data-driven design can inform everything from urban scale and environmental performance to movement, identity and human experience — and how these approaches can create buildings that are both highly functional and iconic.
