In this edition of I Hear Design, host Robert Nieminen delivers a wide-angle view of the current architecture, design, and construction landscape in 2025. Drawing from recent reports and economic indicators—including the AIA Billings Index, Sherwin-Williams' Construction Insights survey, and research from firms like Gensler, Perkins&Will, and Corgan—this episode unpacks the forces reshaping the built environment.

We explore the lingering impact of economic uncertainty, new tariffs, and supply chain delays, as well as emerging opportunities in wellness real estate, experience-driven placemaking, and carbon transparency. Plus, you'll learn how new tools like mass timber carbon calculators and healthier materials lists are helping design teams make smarter, more sustainable choices.

Topics Covered:

  • What’s driving delays and cautious investment in construction and architecture
  • How wellness and experiential design are commanding premium value
  • Why carbon benchmarking and healthier material standards are becoming essential
  • The Gen Z effect on urban design and multifamily development

Whether you’re navigating tough market conditions or planning your next project with performance and impact in mind, this episode is packed with insights to help you lead with purpose and resilience.
