What to expect
Edward Richards will lead a group tour of Future Observatory's display How to Build a Low-Carbon Home.
In this exhibition, discover how architects are reimagining the use of wood, stone and straw to design homes fit for a greener future. The display follows the journey of these ancient materials from fields, forests and quarries to cutting-edge buildings through models, samples, tools, films and photographs.
Richards will then lead the group on a tour exploring the architecture of the museum.
