RIBA CPD in Lincoln: community engagement
Sophia de Sousa, chief executive of The Glass House, gave an engaging talk about collaborative design techniques used in community engagement projects, as part of the RIBA core CPD seminar series. MArch and BArch students attended alongside local architects and will be using some of the ideas gathered during the session, run as a workshop, as well as from the diverse case studies presented during the talk.
GROUNDLAB of Sincil Bank Lincoln
The Mayor of Lincoln Councillor Keith Weaver officially opened GROUNDLAB, a new community hub housed in an unmissable, bright orange, shipping container placed in Sincil Bank, Lincoln.
GROUNDLAB is an exciting new creative design studio, developed for the Sincil Bank community by the University of Lincoln in collaboration with the city of Lincoln Council. MArch and BArch studio groups have their studio sessions in the cosy container, which will act as a community drop-in design hub for residents. Academics will work with the local community and other stakeholders on a range of projects, to provide opportunities for residents to engage in creative activities, exchanges ideas and work towards the improvement of the public realm in Sincil Bank.
Trevor Elvin is the academic leading the project, which is already attracting a lot of interest and support. The activity of the GROUNDLAB can be followed on the hub’s website:
