"demand-led design is not just about making architecture and urban design more accessible, it is about yielding individual results"

Arsenal workshop

Architecture + design

Work with professionals who know how to grow a community design project

Many of the people we work for have never been involved in the design process before, but by supporting user groups from their first idea, across the threshold into the design process, we believe that design can be brought closer to the impetus to do a project in the first place. This support effectively bridges a gap between, users with an idea, and the professional skills they need to turn that idea into an inspirational design project.

Get help from civic to:

• Identify and prepare a list of users involved in taking
    decisions about the design
• Devise and run a package of community engagement
    activities and create a demand-led design brief
• Raise your group's design ambitions
• Learn about the value of different spaces
• Lead the design process and establish key design
