I recently visited the Victoria and Albert Museum for 'Tropical Modernism - Architecture and Independence'. The exhibition focuses on the decolonisation of British territories, particularly in terms of a kind of 'handover' of responsibilities in the built environment - impacting on architecture and sustainability in these hot countries leaving British rule. This called to mind some Passivhaus concepts and even the controversial and complex Future Homes Standards that have kept builders on their toes since 2016, promising all new builds to be up to 80% more energy-efficient by 2025. It's interesting to see that a few of the tried and true methods on show are being revived, despite most of the practices being abandoned decades ago. With global temperatures on a rapid rise, will we see more of these old zero carbon practices being tweaked for modern use or are we approaching a 'too hot to handle' scenario? #builtEnvironment #architecture #exhibition
