If the future of Houston design was left up to the next generation of architects and designers, what would our city look like? It's a concept Houston design firm Gensler is exploring with their group called ByDesign. The group is meant foster conversations about design and to think about what’s next for Houston.

Group members recently presented their latest ideas to a small group of brokers clients, and community influencers.
