Symposium & Workshop at 24 Guildhall Road on 23, 24 & 25 November
Free to attend, but tickets are essential – see Eventbrite for tickets Vegan Lunch Available Travel Bursary available*
We invite participation in a three-day symposium/ design workshop to explore new ideas of building place and space for the next phase of design development of 24 Guildhall Road.
We will question universal ideals of making places, the limits of the traditional design processes in developing the public sphere and the agency of participation in consultation. Questions may, for instance, relate to how to negotiate the dynamics and dialogues of a municipality, civic responsibility and compliance, for new assemblages and ideas across cultural formation.
Artists, curators, academics, researchers and public members will gather to reflect upon various economic, environmental, territorial, and political implications of placemaking, as the creative processes by which people and their institutions shape the public realm and build communities.
Following presentations and workshops, participants are also invited to review and feedback on current design options and processes as part of Phase 2.
The symposium is open to the public and includes contributions from artists, designers, architects, planners, academics and curators.
