Living with the Future


Living with the Future is a television documentary series first broadcast on 15 January 2007 on BBC Four. It is a follow-up series to Living with Modernism, also on BBC Four.
In each episode, presenter Simon Davis visits the owners of a private house, then stays overnight so he can comment on what the building is like to actually live in. The preceding series visited older "classic" buildings where modernity was the key feature. In this series, buildings have been constructed in the last few years and often rely on cutting-edge materials and have "green" elements of re-use and efficiency.
