Time: 5 – 7.30pm in Queensgate Market, Huddersfield

Market Gallery Exhibition:

Sustaining China’s Villages - Making a Difference to Rural Village Regeneration.

The University of Huddersfield has for undertaken collaborative work (both teaching and research) in China which has led to the development of a research alliance with Chinese partners which has considered how to support sustainable redevelopment that is rooted in villages and towns in the southwestern region.

The exhibition displays exemplars of architectural, art and craft work tackling the need for a more sustainable approach to construction and the built environment generally in these villages and towns. This also supports local heritage craft and design skills. They aim to show what is possible, both in terms of buildings that are efficient and have a low ecological impact and in terms of development that aims to make the most of each community’s unique nature, heritage and culture.

The work presented has been undertaken by a number of universities along with professionals from design practices and other organisations in China collaborating with researchers from the University of Huddersfield.
