Consultation
Increasingly we find ourselves asking what is a community? How is a community defined - culturally, economically or in terms of demographics or geography?
For Hawkins\Brown each architectural solution is layered; the same building is understood and used differently by each individual.
When architects are charged with consulting with a community or developing sustainable communities where do they find this void?
Hawkins\Brown worked alongside the Centre for Social Action at De Montfort University and the University of East Anglia to develop new methods of active engagement that creatively involve all of the Stakeholders in a responsible and positive form of design development.
The best example of this is the first of the Mayors 100 Public Spaces-making spaces for Londoners-at Gillett Square, Dalston, Hackney.
