Architecture is often about what we can create. But how often do we stop to ask what we should create?

For our next Let’s Talk Design conversation, we’re joined by Shane Laptiste, Principal & Co-Founder of SOCA, for an honest conversation about design, people, practice, and the responsibility of creating spaces that respond to real needs.

From the ideas behind SOCA’s work to the realities of designing for people and context, we’ll be unpacking what it truly means to make architecture meaningful.

Saturday, 19 September 2026
4:00 PM WAT 11 AM EST

Are we designing what people really need?
Come join the conversation.

Built for moments. Ready for what comes next.

The National Stadium, Surulere, stands as a reminder of what purposeful infrastructure can mean to a city.

Today, its ongoing transformation speaks to a larger vision for the built environment, reviving existing spaces, adapting them to contemporary needs, and creating infrastructure that serves future generations.

At Built Futures 2026, we’re exploring that same spirit of transformation: rethinking how we design, build, and shape the places that define our cities.
