Future Burngreave (2020)
WE LIVE IN THE HOMES
OF THE FUTURE.
80% of the homes we will be living in by 2050 have already been built. To meet the UK’s emissions targets we must deep retrofit the UK’s 25 million homes.
Future Burngreave explores community-led retrofit by the activist community of Burngreave. Through common ownership of their homes, the project demonstrates neighbourhood-scale retrofit is an opportunity to add value to communities through social and technological infrastructure to live sustainably and affordably.
Future Burngreave was featured in Climate Action and Visual Culture (2021), an online exhibition, event and publication, produced by Temporary Contemporary and Centre for Cultural Ecologies in Art, Design and Architecture, University of Huddersfield.
