Finding Infinity is an [environmental consultancy](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/design-studio-smarin) and it has tapped progressive Australian architecture studios to showcase concepts that could alter Melbourne into a [zero-carbon city](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/arc-zero) by 2030. The brand has gone through research and development strategies that optimize self-sufficient approaches to energy, water, and food. Principal at Finding Infinity, Ross Harding shared with Dezeen, "Ninety-five per cent of the policy that we actually need to integrate to really deal with climate change properly is missing. The goal of the exhibition is to create more projects that exemplify the policy that's missing and try to empathise with politicians, the private sectors and the general public, and just try to progress it. If the policy comes, but we don't have examples of how these projects work, it would be a dead-end situation."
