Survey: In times of too much, what is just enough?

We’re collecting insights from around the world to understand how architecture and design can respond to the challenges of excess, noise, and complexity.

Your reply will help shape a shared reflection – one we’ll continue live at the BIG SEE Festival 2026 in Portorož.

By replying, you will:

  • receive a free entrance invitation – access to both architecture and design at BIG SEE 2026
  • join a live public discussion on this theme – as part of a selected audience
  • have your response considered for publication on bigsee.eu
  • become part of a global creative community

Take a moment. Say something that matters.
