Newcastle Quayside at 40 celebrates forty years since the inception of the plan to regenerate Newcastle’s Quayside which fallen in decay and disrepair. This exhibition explores the ideas and aspirations that shaped the regeneration plan, the individuals and organisations who drove them forward, and the circumstances that made the project such a success. Supported by Muse, developers of the Newcastle Quayside.

Housing Standardisation: Who Designs Our Homes and How Do We Live? asks what does a typical home in England look like? How does it compare to housing in other countries? How are these homes designed? And what is it like to live in them? Through photographs, models and plans, it considers how housing design is shaped by policy regulations, local cultures, and the expectations and lived experiences of residents.
