from around the world . Benchmark will join a panel on wellness , alongside Trifle *, looking specifically at workplace design and what progressive spaces now need , by way of space as well as materials . BIID will shine a light on some of the female talent within their roster of interior designers .
The 2022 talk space is designed by Fieldwork Architects , with a concept that reimagines the traditional Victorian bandstand as a focal point within the park , a place for gathering , discussion , entertainment and shelter . Rather than a traditional forward facing seating arrangement , the nature of the bandstand form allows the focus point to be partially in the round and engage the audience as a discussion , rather than a presentation . Daily yoga sessions will also take place in the Talks Space at 9:00am .
The full talks programme will be announced closer to the show .
