Explore the future of high-rise design
Can high-rise developments help solve the UK housing crisis? Building upwards is one answer – but questions around fire safety, sustainability and public perception remain.
To explore what future-fit high-rise buildings should look like, we brought together leading architects at Clerkenwell Design Week.
Their insights reveal both optimism and challenges ahead. We discussed three key themes:
- Developing attractive, sustainable and future-fit high-rise developments
- Building safety in high-rise buildings
- The future of our high-rise buildings
Our insights report captures the insights from the discussion – from tackling regulations and client confidence, to designing high-rise buildings that are truly future-fit.
