This year, a diverse team of NELSON design leaders attended industry-defining events, representing practices across our organization, including workplace, civic and justice, education, hospitality, mixed-use, multifamily, and adaptive reuse and repositioning. Each of these leaders was there to be inspired and to continue boldly transforming the human experience through design and architecture.

We are excited to share our findings and insights around key themes that are driving innovation and transformation. Join us as we explore the intersection of creativity, purpose, and innovation in design, discovering how these trends are poised to influence the spaces we inhabit for years to come. In this report, we will cover trends in sustainability, connection, health and wellness, equality and equity, aesthetic influences, and trends that push the boundaries of design.
