Green Tease: Reimagining Retrofit

  • Civic House 26 Civic Street Glasgow, Scotland, G4 9RH United Kingdom (map)

What would a sustainable retrofit of neighbourhoods across Scotland look like, during the climate and housing crises? At this upcoming Green Tease we will explore the overlap between housing struggles and climate breakdown with artists, activists, architects and sustainability practitioners.

We will be playing our Imagine If Game as part of this event to start conversations about how our homes, communities and lifestyles can be reimagined to support a just transition.

Co-created by Creative Carbon Scotland and Scott McAulay from the Anthropocene Architecture School, we invite you to imagine how we might thrive together if our neighbourhoods were prepared for the changing climate. Through discussions, and exhibitions we will reimagine what it means to ‘retrofit’, from individual homes to entire communities, reflecting upon our relationships to home and place.

This Green Tease will be an afternoon of coming together to explore the role of art and culture in shaping the future, and the role of those retrofitting homes, in practically getting us there. The tools to build sustainable, low-energy homes and to retrofit existing ones to standards fit for a climate emergency already exist - such buildings becoming the norm would both change and save lives. But without societal transformation, they will only remain possibilities.
