In this free display, discover four research projects from across the UK 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.
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.
Tools for Transition presents four Green Transition Ecosystem research projects from across the UK that demonstrate how design is driving these changes.
Based in Scotland, Rathlin Island (Northern Ireland), Ynys Môn (North Wales), Bristol and Swansea, these projects show how scalable, design-led research can be translated into practical tools for transitioning to a greener future.
The display involves four Future Observatory commissions, developed through roundtables that brought together designers and researchers to spark creative responses to ongoing research for the green transition. The commissioned designers include Irena Gajic, Rifke Sadleir, Saqqra and Sahra Hersi with Dash & Miller.
