The 3rd and final day of the Icsid World Design Congress in Singapore saw five additional speakers sharing their predictions for the future.

Keynote speaker William Halal presented the impact future technology would have on our everyday life, while Thomas Heatherwick highlighted his opposing view that it is creativity, not technology, that will guide us to a better-designed 2050.

Design2050 Studio Leader Feng Zhu believed that technology would evolve to be self-aware in the near future; Bill Mitchell showcased light energy-efficient modes of transport for urban areas via live videocast; and David Nelson presented a clear, positive and sustsainable future path that Foster + Partners crafted for Singapore.
