The journey at WAF has been an enlightening experience, an opportunity to engage with a diverse array of professionals and to capture the essence of architectural innovation through candid conversations and interviews. Our series, filmed on location, features the insights of leading figures like programme director Paul Finch, and delves into the festival’s theme of "together," celebrating unity and the collective spirit post-pandemic.

 

Paul Finch, who initiated WAF, likens the festival to a multi-layered cake, offering a blend of competitive showcases, thought-leadership conferences, and unparalleled networking spaces. Our involvement as a founder partner extends beyond showcasing our products; it's about immersing ourselves in the industry's heartbeat and contributing to its vibrant dialogue.

 

In the exclusive interview, Patrick Speck, LIXIL Global Design EMENA echoes this sentiment, emphasizing the importance of absorbing global insights to inspire groundbreaking products and services. His presence at WAF, presenting the World Building of the Year award, symbolizes our commitment to fostering innovation.

 

WAF 2022 in Lisbon not only highlighted the city's architectural splendor but also marked a significant return to in-person gatherings, resonating with the theme of "together." We invite you to experience this convergence of ideas and creativity through the series, which provides a window into the future of architecture as envisioned by its most passionate advocates.
