Homes and communities
Consider how a home supports daily life, adapts to changing needs and connects with shared spaces and services.
FUTURE OF LIVING
Better places to live. Better questions to ask.
Explore how housing, energy, materials and community design connect. Start with the needs of people, then build the evidence behind a better living environment.

Three areas to explore.
Energy and resources
Make energy demand, generation, material choices and environmental assumptions visible before describing a solution as sustainable.
From concept to project
Connect design ideas with site constraints, project responsibilities, costs and the evidence needed for the intended market.
TRY AN APPLIED LEARNING ACTIVITY
Start with one useful question.
Choose one home or community concept. Describe who will live there, the need it addresses and one improvement you want to evaluate. Identify the evidence you would need before claiming that improvement.
This is an editorial learning prompt. Save programme-specific notes and evidence inside My Workspace.
