In the second episode of ‘The Future of Space’ podcast, host Rubah Musvee sets the ground for an insightful discussion on Social Design as a domain that brings together design, architecture, sustainability and community behaviour. Guests, Architect Nermin Büyükçapar and Interior Designer Gözde Kösemen from Turkey’s Studio Design, join Rubah in unfolding this phenomenon that is now taking workspace design and architecture by storm. No detail is too small when it comes to perfecting member experience: be it matters of lighting and air filtration or the exploration of biophilic design.
