Abstract
ArchxClimate looks at a broad range of exhibition projects from across Europe, which are designed to engage visitors with architecture and surrounding critical themes, using first-hand observation and stakeholder interviews.
As highlighted by RIBA (Goals in Practice), architecture and the built environment plays a key role in implementing some of the UN Sustainability Development Goals.
Physical exhibitions offer an effective and valid vehicle for bringing architecture to audiences, even where the methods of doing so are varied. The cross-section of visitors reached through these venues allow for relevant messages to be spread wider than publications or CPDs alone. As conversations about architecture become increasingly focussed on sustainability and climate, there will be benefits in both educating wider audiences, whilst providing new opportunities for the public to engage with architectural professionals and policy makers.
ArchxClimate considers how architectural exhibitions hold the potential for broadcasting, educating and engaging on these subjects – highlighting how the quality of design, and the diversity of the programmes can better facilitate meaningful impact.
