Today, global architecture and design firm Gensler unveils its 2025 Design Forecast, spotlighting five transformative forces set T to shape the future of design and urban life worldwide. The publication identifies the top global design trends that will impact the real estate and built environment in 2025, emphasizing human-centered, adaptable spaces and a shift toward resilient urban environments. With forward-thinking research and strategic advice, the trend report empowers clients and industry partners to tackle today's critical challenges and create positive impact in their communities.
The trends identify five key dynamics driving the future of cities, from the reimagining of urban centers as community-centric hubs to the global surge in sustainable design: .
• Experience-Driven Lifestyle Districts Reignite Global Cities: Mixed-use lifestyle and entertainment districts will take center stage in 2025 as the new anchors for cities looking to drive community engagement and bring people together around visceral shared experiences. Hospitality, retail, sports, and residential spaces make up the mix of these experience-driven areas, whose rise is also driving demand for safe streets and reliable transit options.
• Demand for Sustainable Design Supercharges Innovation and Values: With organizations everywhere increasingly wary of climate risk, buildings designed with resilient and sustainable strategies are trading at premium values. This sustainable surge is also driving demand for gamechanging innovations in construction processes and the materials industry. Adaptive reuse of old buildings, energyefficient designs, weather-scenario planning, and other green techniques are anticipating local climate challenges while lowering waste and carbon. Solutions such as mass timber, low-no-carbon interior finishes and furnishings, and zero-carbon cement are leading a materials revolution.
