Building Futures, the think tank of the Royal Institute of British Architects (RIBA), has published a new report exploring some of the economic and social changes that a dominant ageing population will bring in the next 30 years. The report describes a future where people may choose luxurious, international retirement lifestyles or live with their generations of their families in one grand design. It adds that our beleaguered high streets could take on a new lease of life, with health hubs, child care facilities and universities and. our coastal towns, traditionally favoured by older generations but currently facing big social and economic challenges, could all be transformed by a more active retired population.

The 2013 Serpentine Gallery Pavilion, by architect Sou Fujimoto, is a metallic mesh of 27,000 bits of steel joined together to give the impression of a light, cloud-like structure. This video programme includes a talk to the AECOM engineers that worked alongside Fujimoto to help realise his design. We learn why the architect’s original designs had to be rapidly rationalised and how an exceedingly tight schedule ultimately dictated the final design and how it was built.
