PCBC’s Design Trends Forum features keynote speakers and panel discussions that focus on intelligent, informed design. Join us for this full-day educational forum dedicated to the design innovations that are reinventing housing. Topics include how we are dealing with changing demographics, consumer priorities, household formations, and attitudes toward homeownership. You’ll hear from many of housing’s most respected builders, architects and researchers as they explore the design trends that have become iconic for their inspired design and those new ones that are fueling the industry’s recovery. Whether it’s small spaces that live large, site plans and density solutions yielding new levels of affordability and livability, multi-generational living, new innovations in green design, or adapting floor plans for new consumer lifestyles, you’ll take home invaluable insights to stay competitive in today’s evolving new market.

GENERAL SESSION KEYNOTE
8:30am–9:30am
To Sell Is Human, Dan Pink
According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, one in nine Americans works in sales, earning their keep by persuading someone else to make a purchase. But dig deeper and a startling truth emerges: So do the other eight. Whether we’re pitching colleagues on a new idea, enticing funders to invest, or cajoling children to study, we spend our days trying to move others. Like it or not, we’re all in sales now.
Daniel Pink is an extraordinary thinker whose ideas are reshaping how organizations approach innovation, motivation and talent. As he did in his previous bestsellers, Drive and A Whole New Mind, Pink’s latest blockbuster, To Sell Is Human, draws on a rich trove of social science to reveal counterintuitive insights. In it he reveals a fascinating new framework for moving others. Forget the old smarmy, glad-handing techniques—in its place is a new approach that involves three very human qualities and four surprising skills.

Growing Community through Agriculture
Daron Joffe is not what most people envision when they think of farmers. “Farmer D” is a maverick within the organic farming movement, a 30-something eco-entrepreneur with an impressive production history. Actress Jennifer Garner thinks his turnips “rock,” and Sir Richard Branson hired him to develop a farm-to-table experience at his exclusive New Jersey spa. Joffe was the founding farmer at Serenbe in Palmetto, Georgia, where he created a 25-acre biodynamic farm that continues to supply the community with fresh produce. On a “town-by-town mission to re-energize the food culture,” Farmer D has created sustainable properties such as Hampton Island Preserve in Georgia, Longleaf Preserve in Florida, and many others.

From Brown to Green: Strategies for Successful and Sustainable Urban Brownfield Redevelopment
Explore a development model fitting for today’s economic climate among a growing segment of buyers looking for a more urban style of living. Midtown is a 184-acre brownfield redevelopment site presently under construction just five miles from Denver’s Central Business District. The development team will discuss the process of acquiring, cleaning up, and delivering to market a Brownfield redevelopment project with over 1,300 homes, 150,000 SF of retail, and urban farming elements that make this a dynamic, one-of-a-kind infill community.

Campus to Career: What’s Cool About Apartments
Young people want to be close to the action. And close to work too. But home is still a refuge—a place to settle in and get away from it all. This session will explore the latest trends in high-density multifamily design, from floor plans to amenities to lifestyle accommodations. Where can I wash my dog? Where can I work out? Where can I park my bike? Can I plant a garden? Can I park my car under cover? Can I plug it in? Where can I barbeque? Where can I hang out on a sunny day? Answer these questions, and you will connect young people with what they want—and have come to expect.

Standing the Test of Time: Developments that Become Iconic
Most developments recede in people’s mind over time, but some are so special that they achieve and retain an almost cult-like following. As we celebrate 50 Years of PCBC’s Gold Nugget Awards for Design – we will look back at some Gold Nugget Winners and others designs that have stood the test of time. In this closing keynote session, John Martin and some of the West Coast's leading architects will discuss these inspiring, iconic projects, reflecting back on their favorites and discussing why they continue to be highly desirable today. These examples underscore the crucial role of good design in creating a solid reputation for the community’s—and the builder’s—brand.
