Net Zero Possible Futures
As part of the 2024 Melbourne Design Week, Net Zero precincts will hold a terrarium building workshop.
What might net-zero futures feel like? What kinds of new relationships to energy, mobility, and buildings will people need for this future to become a reality?
‘Net Zero Possible Futures’ invites participants to explore these questions through experimental terrarium building. Using natural and artificial materials, we’ll engage in a process of prototyping speculative terrarium ‘worlds’ which will explore the possibilities (and fantasies) of a net-zero future. Participants will engage in imaginative explorations of what net-zero means to them, and how we might work beyond the workshop toward caring for our vision.
‘Net Zero Possible Futures’ builds on findings from the Net Zero Precincts project, a collaboration between Emerging Technologies Research lab and the Monash Sustainable Development Institute. For Melbourne Design Week, we’re partnering with Regen Melbourne, “a platform for ambitious collaboration, in service to greater Melbourne and host of bold projects for a regenerative city”. Regen Melbourne brings deeply impactful research projects to life in order to reimagine and remake Melbourne.
