The Cost of Losing Our Public Spaces: From London to Lima
Public spaces like parks are increasingly becoming less accessible. This phenomenon, observable from London to Lima, affects how we socialise, engage in physical activities and participate in our communities. One reason for this lack of access is the commodification of these spaces but what are the consequences of charging a fee to access a park? In this episode, Onya speaks with Nadar Chioino, an MSc PIE alum and multidisciplinary designer, and Daniela Chung, a city planner, architect and designer from Lima, Peru. What are the benefits of public spaces for our well-being, and what are the consequences when these spaces are privatized and become less accessible?

Wellbeing, COVID-19 and the Future of Workplaces
This seminar is designed to challenge students, researchers, experienced and aspiring workplace practitioners to reimagine the role built spaces play in supporting the twenty-first-century worker, especially in a very challenging period of the ravaging effect of the COVID-19 pandemic. As this pandemic accentuates an already changing workplace philosophy, the workplace must adapt and transform spaces sustainably. Ubiquitous technology now affords the flexible use of spaces, with homes being the primary places of work in a world where spatial fixity no longer characterises the workplace. As such, built environment practitioners must rethink, adapt and realign their strategies to stay relevant as we look ahead Post-COVID.
