To date, two previous iterations of the series have successfully engaged over 1000 professionals, students, faculty and stakeholders in a wide range of investigative activities.

Future Ways of Living II

Future Ways of Living II, 2016, coincided with re-launch of the Triennale di Milano after a 20-year hiatus and was an official event of the Triennale. FWoL II built upon the concepts of the first lecture series and workshop and applied the principles and ideas to the Milan Expo site to create solutions for its adaptive reuse and development.

The current edition, Future Ways of Living: City Solutions Lab, will build on this foundation and apply interdisciplinary design thinking methodology to create solutions in partnership with municipalities around the world and help create a stronger, more resilient future.
