Placemaking is still a rather new term to many individuals and professions, however the concept of making places that make sense for the communities in which they are designed for is not so new. Embedding community, culture, creativity, and change into how you approach placemaking will provide agility, longevity, and ownership.

This short workshop will provide a unique set of considerations when establishing a placemaking approach including research methods, engagement tools and open, collaborative resources to help design your project or partnership.

Led by Claire Tymon, a creative consultant, researcher and curator, who has been advocating for, and delivering community-led placemaking projects since 2006 across the North of England. Claire co-founded the national Urban Room Network and is currently undertaking a PhD by Practice at Sheffield School of Architecture.

Hosted by DIGITALE // a new initiative for County Durham.

Created by Durham University, Durham County Council, Durham Business Improvement District, Durham Cathedral, Visit County Durham, Durham Parish Council. DIGTALE has an open source, collaborative approach and is open to everyone across County Durham.
