British Council presents Ancient Futures.
Ancient Futures is a multidisciplinary research collective that integrates indigenous wisdom, traditional crafts, design, science, and biotechnology to envision regenerative futures rooted in earth, ecology, and cultural heritage. By blending the worlds of the grown and the built, we create culturally driven, lightweight, and adaptive forms that align with natural cycles and challenge conventional design paradigms.
