“This is down on the beach. It's tired and dilapidated, but still gorgeous.”

Architecture writer and design consultant Catherine Shaw takes us on a personal tour of the overlooked details that make Hong Kong uniquely Hong Kong. From weathered bus stops and mosaic-tiled apartment blocks to pawn shops, fishermen’s houses, lifeguard huts, and Bauhaus-inspired public buildings, she reveals a city whose identity is found not in its famous skyline, but in its everyday textures and quirks. Through a keen eye for color, craftsmanship, and urban character, Catherine celebrates a vernacular architecture that is practical, imperfect, and deeply loved.

“What I find really interesting with living and visiting another culture is that you get a perspective first for that culture but also towards your own country.”

Swedish creator Anton Wörmann shares how a fascination with Japan evolved into a mission to rescue and renovate abandoned homes through his platform Anton in Japan and design brand Japandi Houses. Blending Scandinavian simplicity with Japanese craftsmanship, Anton transforms forgotten properties into beautiful living spaces while learning firsthand about Japan’s unique renovation challenges, from termites and humidity to earthquakes and abandoned homes. Along the way, he discovers that thoughtful design is less about imposing a new vision and more about honoring what already exists, creating homes where Swedish and Japanese traditions meet in harmony.

“Once you’ve stared death in the face, you don’t sweat the small stuff. You choose joy.”

JoAnne Vigil Coppler shares a deeply personal journey shaped by poverty, perseverance, public service, motherhood, and survival. Growing up in northern New Mexico with hand-me-down clothes and limited means, she worked her way through school, rose through leadership roles across all three branches of government, and fought for fairness and dignity for others along the way. After surviving stage 4 breast cancer, her perspective shifted even further toward gratitude, joy, and service.

“One thing you can do at the wall is name rubbings. They provide a piece of paper to rub a name off the wall of a friend or family member.”

London Dunn explores the history and emotional impact of the Vietnam Veterans Memorial, from Maya Lin’s groundbreaking design to the powerful symbols woven throughout the site. The presentation also highlights the often-overlooked role of military chaplains through the “Chaplains at War” comic series, sharing stories of sacrifice, compassion, and service during wartime. Together, these stories reflect how remembrance, faith, and human connection continue to shape the legacy of those who served.

“I realized early on that I wasn’t an artist. But what I was very good at doing was making sure that people have access to art.”

Rick Erwin offers a fascinating look inside the ever-evolving world of City Museum, where salvaged architectural fragments, industrial relics, and forgotten urban materials are transformed into immersive spaces for exploration and play. Rather than beginning with a master plan, the museum’s designs emerge from the materials themselves — train wheels become spiral staircases, theater facades become castles, and discarded relics gain entirely new lives. Through stories of rescue, reuse, and creative improvisation, Erwin reveals how City Museum became a living monument to curiosity, preservation, and imagination.

“This is the only corner that you’re ever going to need in industrial design.”

Industrial designer Juho Viitasalo dives deep into one of the most overlooked details in product design: rounded corners. From smartphones and furniture to glassware and robotics, he reveals how subtle differences in curvature dramatically affect the way objects feel, reflect light, and communicate quality. Blending humor, geometry, and industrial design theory, Viitasalo unpacks why some corners feel smooth and satisfying while others feel strangely “off” — and why the smallest design decisions can shape our emotional relationship with everyday objects.

“Plants can become pieces of art when taken care of properly.”

In this lively and deeply relatable presentation, Vela H. Lightle shares how a single houseplant purchase during college spiraled into a full-fledged indoor jungle of nearly 70 plants. Blending humor, practical advice, and genuine passion, she explores the creativity, experimentation, and emotional rewards that come with caring for houseplants—from custom soil mixes and mounted ferns to navigating the strange economics of the plant market.
