The Greenhouse fosters thought leadership and innovation by nurturing creative solutions to social needs through collaborative problem-solving. Operating like a hackathon, participants tackle design provocations in groups, brainstorming ideas and addressing design challenges. Participants also explore opportunities for collaboration in articles, events, and other projects, contributing to the Conscious Cities Movement.

For the 2025 Conscious Cities Festival Greenhouse edition a distinguished speaker will bring us a research design challenge around design and technology, to be revealed during the event.

Join us to brainstorm ethical and practical ways to harness technology in advancing conscious design research and meet your future collaborators!
