The green transition is about more than cutting carbon emissions or switching to renewable energy sources. It means making impactful changes to how we build our homes, care for each other, develop our neighbourhoods and manage local resources.

This free display features four research projects from across the U.K. – by designers including Irena Gajic, Rifke Sadleir, Saqqra and Sahra Hersi with Dash & Miller – that are driving change in housing, healthcare, local planning and resource management. Together, these projects show how design-led research can be translated into practical tools to transition into a greener future. Based in Scotland, Rathlin Island (Northern Ireland), Ynys Môn (North Wales), Bristol and Swansea, they show how scalable, design-led research can be translated into practical tools for transitioning to a greener future.
