Brett gives an introductory talk and welcome at the opening of a two-day design workshop by the AA School at the Instituto Empresa, one of the world’s leading business schools. The subject of the talk and workshop is the contemporary convergence of design and management theories, and the role of intelligent workplace design in the making of creative learning environments. The IE is the AA of business education today, and our new partner for a multi-year series of events; a small, entirely independent, and world-renowned international school. AA Tutors Peter Ferreto, Anne Save de Beaurecueil and Ricardo de Ostos will lead the workshop, speculating on alternative office/work environments.
