This will be the fifth edition of the symposium
A series of stand-out projects dedicated to creating multi-purpose spaces will be discussed
Experts will discuss this year’s theme Real Estate Through a Wellness Lens
The Global Wellness Summit (GWS) will host its fifth annual Wellness Real Estate and Communities Symposium in New York City, US on 12 May at The Assembly.
Industry professionals will meet to discuss this year’s theme Real Estate Through a Wellness Lens. The event will include a presentation of 75 stand-out projects from around the world. They have been singled out because their design and construction is focused on creating environments for living, working, playing and even healing.
Nancy Davis, chief creative officer and executive director of the GWS, beleives the theme is particularly apt this year, saying: “What we are seeing through that wellness lens is nothing short of astounding. Capital is moving. Expectations are changing and ‘wellness’ is no longer a feature – it’s the foundation of how projects are designed, financed and valued.”
Experts will reveal ideas, challenges and opportunities for collaboration and attendees will learn about how art and neuroscience are impacting the ways places are being built.
An opening reception will be held at The Greenwich the evening before (on 11 May) for registered attendees. Román Vińoly will give a speech about his late father, the architect Rafael Vińoly, and how the firm’s design practice is informed by the human experience.
Tickets cost US$1,500 (€1,380, £1,170); and are available here.
