The New Scene of the Future City

Fusing technology and creative design
Technology is changing the city every moment right before our eyes, but we believe technology is not the only force that is going to shape urban development in the future. Innovation and humanity are at the core of the development, and by combining both humanistic creative ideas and fast-growing technology, a new scene will emerge under this mutual influence.

Unifying the Future City

Empower businesses with “borderless” design
Social behavior evolves as the city continues to develop rapidly. Collective trends dominated the market in terms of consumers behavior in the last century, and today, it is all about personalization and individuality. Base on the insights collected from big data, consumer trend is going to diversify in the future, and consumers are likely to broaden their shopping behavior. A multi-facade “Borderless” design approach can empower businesses by breaking down the border and achieve a multi-disciplinary integration. It will allow enterprises to reduce costs and sustain the momentum of growth.

Game Changer: Shaping the Future City with Design

Avant-garde vision for the best design
Urban problems such as aging infrastructure and an aging population are growing increasingly prominent. It is crucial for us to take a closer look at these problems, and to reinterpret the urban texture with “adaptive design,” using technology, data models and new sustainable materials to avoid or alleviate potential problems in the future.

The Evolution of Commercial Design

From consumer experience to brand awareness
The rise of the Z-generation consumer trend has made the practical value of goods no longer the only concern. The trendiness and relevancy of both the products and purchase environment will play an essential role in social life. A thoughtfully designed interior helps enhance brand awareness with its consumers by creating aesthetic resonance. The multi-business solution is going to revolutionize the shopping environment and lead to the birth of a new commercial habitat.

Creating a Healthcare Ecosystem

Design with care
The Chinese have a strong emotional tie to the concept of “home,” and the traditional elderly care environment has broken far away from “home.” The J&A healthcare team proposes to establish age-friendly healthcare and medical community and to bring a healing and heartwarming healthcare experience for the elderly with the “Ecosystem” design concept.

The Future of A Home for Life

Utilize unlimited design in limited space
“Home” is a sentimental concept for the Chinese. With the steady increase of life expectancy, we are facing a need to fit three-generations in one space. To create a home for life, designers need to balance the contradiction between the increasing demand of required objects and the decrease of available space, through multi-functional research and development, technology, and standardization, we will utilize the useable areas to create living spaces that will meet future needs.
