PBA AT NYCXDESIGN 2026: DESIGN TALK, APERITIVO & CONVERSATION

A conversation on inclusive and sustainable design with a guest architect from HLW and a guest speaker from Understood.org

NYCxDESIGN Festival is coming up, and we’re excited to share that pba will be hosting events again this year in collaboration with selected partners. We’ll bring architects and designers together for conversations on some of today’s most relevant topics in architecture and interior design, with a focus on how the built environment can respond to evolving needs and expectations.

On May 15th, pba, in collaboration with Tecno, welcomes professionals, partners, and industry leaders to Tecno New York showroom for an evening exploring how design can create more inclusive and sustainable environments.

Designing for Impact brings together diverse voices to examine how architecture, materials, and spatial systems shape the way we experience the built environment. The conversation will explore sensory-inclusive design, accessibility beyond compliance, and the role of thoughtful design in supporting human diversity across workplaces and public spaces.
