## Speakers

- **Eran Chen** — Founder

What if buildings were designed not just around structure or code, but around human experience? As cities are constantly evolving, architect Eran Chen shares how architecture contributes to the built environment to benefit its community. Two of the guiding principles for his design philosophy, “form follows experience” and “porosity leads to prosperity,” are carried to ODA’s projects worldwide. The session will explore how an experience-centric approach can redefine design globally to create urban environments that challenge the boundaries of conventional structure and improve engagement.
