Building Tomorrow | BBC Future, Terreform ONE

BBC Future Media is an operational business section of the BBC based at Media City UK. It is responsible for all of the BBC’s digital media services including BBC Online, BBC Red Button, and CCV iPLayer. The idea for the division was conceived in 2011 to connect all areas of the BBC’s digital viewing platforms.

The director of Future Media, Ralph Rivera, currently heads it. BBC Future in collaboration with Terrform ONE presents the “Build Tomorrow” exhibit. This is a non-profit organization for architecture, urban, and ecological design philanthropists. The short-term public display invites the people of New York City to seize a preview of what the metropolitan could look like in the next few decades. “Building Tomorrow” Introduces the fundamental visions of New York City that demonstrate not only the enormous challenges we face, but also the opportunities that could become perceptible if we push the limits of what’s achievable.

The question this exhibit showcases is “what will cities look like as a result?” It makes the designers and citizens think what are new technologies that we can control to sustain growing populations. In effect how will people live, tour and function in the urban setting. The last production from Terreform was an attempt to answer some similar topics of “Build Tomorrow”.

Terreform predictable an urban developed site in Brooklyn that would include a self-sustainable operational waterfront as the core for clean industries that are housing centers for new technologies. As we shape our environments the landscape will have to adapt to its surrounding climate changes and should be prepared for a living environment to perfectly connect land and water.

“Building Tomorrow” exhibits BBC futures motivation to challenge and inspire audiences with contriverial ideas in innovation and technology as they connect to the communities. The design teams of Terreform ONE focus on the act of invention today in order to create an impact in the future. Both BBC Future and Terrform ONE design in a collaborative move toward at the Brooklyn Navy Yard allows us to produce the exceptional inventions immediately needed in the time of climate catastrophe and natural resource shortage.
