Designing workplaces for the future

Join us for a hands-on, drop-in event that brings together insights from cutting-edge research on low carbon buildings, circular economy principles, and workplace wellbeing. Hosted in SPARK Cardiff University, this event invites you to rethink what makes a workspace truly work.

This event will involve mix of interactive activities alongside a scheduled session of short talks from researchers and building designers. Together, we’ll explore themes such as access to workspace, material reuse, transport, gentrification, and home working.

This event led by Dr Fiona Shirani (Research Fellow, Cardiff University) is part of the ESRC Festival of Social Science, which is taking place at universities across the UK between 18th October and 8th November 2025.
