Design seeks to utilise circular economy principles and act as exemplar for sustainability in large-scale cultural production

Unknown Works has completed a new gallery at the Science Museum in London. Named Energy Revolution: The Adani Green Energy Gallery, the space examines the rapid energy transition and decarbonisation needed globally to limit climate change.

The new gallery shows how the past, present and future of energy systems are shaped by human imagination and innovation and explores how all sections of society have a role to play in deciding the future of energy use.

Designed using circular-economy principles to echo the gallery’s decarbonisation focus, Unknown Works has delivered the 800 square metre space using recycled and repurposed materials from the Science Museum Group’s object store and by utilising other low-carbon construction methods.
