JRA London window display-exhibition: Collective Design for a Sustainable Future




Collective Design for a Sustainable Future
JRA’s latest window display/lobby exhibition blends the fresh perspectives of young minds with the seasoned expertise of industry professionals. It presents original thinking on tackling climate change and offers crowd sourced solutions to the current disjunct between the urban and natural worlds.
We used the submissions we received for our 2024 London Festival of Architecture, Reimagine project as a base and have revisited a curated selection of the material to create new dialogues that deepen our exploration of the theme. Exhibits include 3D masterplans, drawings, and handmade maquettes.
Placing the exhibits in conversation highlights the importance of diverse perspectives and the vitality of knowledge sharing on a topic that affects us all. The exhibition provides a platform to amplify voices that are seldom heard, including children due to inherit our present designs and environmental decisions.
The exhibits fall into six categories:
1. Urban Greening
2. Green Buildings
3. Utilising Waterways
4. Prioritising Pedestrians
5. Increasing Biodiversity
6. Energy Creation
Interact with the exhibition by identifying how the children’s ideas crossover with industry experts.
