Supporting a green and just transition for NHS Scotland

Rachael Livingstone

Design Challenge Winner

Rachael Livingstone is entering her fourth year of architecture at the University of Dundee. Her work explores architecture as advocacy—focusing on inclusive, climate-resilient design for displaced communities. Her current research aligns with Design HOPES Challenge 2, reimagining vacant buildings as preventative care hubs through circular, community-led design, with equity and spatial justice at its core.

Design HOPES is a collaborative design-led research initiative, comprising five Scottish Universities (University of Strathclyde, University of Dundee, Heriot Watt University, Abertay University, and the University of Edinburgh), NHS Scotland, the third sector, and design organisations.

This project is funded by the Arts and Humanities Research Council (AHRC) as part of the Future Observatory GTE Hub Programme at the Design Museum.
