Crisis Design Studio
The design of the Beaconsfield community centre promotes resource conservation, renewable energy use, and resilience to environmental changes, all crucial elements during the current and ongoing climate crisis. The design also facilitates usage flexibility, which includes possibilities such as an educational hub where sustainable practices and climate change awareness can be taught. Furthermore, the regenerative design enhances local biodiversity and sequesters carbon, helping combat climate change. Finally, the centre fosters community cohesion, encouraging collective action and resilience in the face of environmental challenges. The centre breaks down its outcome into five core principles, serving as the criteria against which all design solutions were rated.
