Sustainable Transformations: Leith Walk
Monday 28th - Thursday 31st May
10am - 5pm
In the University of Edinburgh Advanced Sustainable Design Master's Program, students learn how to design sustainable, environmentally responsive buildings and neighbourhoods. We are interested in how imaginative design solutions can make more resilient and secure communities within existing cities.
This exhibition documents our work around Leith Walk, working on a number of sites and corridors. Some of the work is speculative and blue sky, but all of it is informed by engaging with the many opportunities and challenges in the area. The exhibition is the final part of a process of community engagement that has enriched the students' work. We hope their proposals stimulate and provoke debate as to what a future Leith might be.
