Making Place

 

Making Place (2017-present) is a long-term programme focusing on learning from the city and use of public space.

The project aims to explore the issues that shape the neighbourhood, working with artists, designers and local communities to map, re-imagine, and influence the places where we live and work. The process is fluid and responsive, and the direction of the project is led by collaborating partners and participants.

The programme critically plays with ideas and practices of city planning, regeneration, gentrification, and ‘place-making’, and investigates three central themes, based on our work within the local area to date: 

  • Inheritance  what do places inherit, and which histories are preserved?

  • Imagination – who imagines the city? 

  • Intervention  generating projects that interrupt, activate and re-imagine the neighbourhood, using play, art and design processes in public space
