Relearning Place: REdistribute

The Glass-House Community Led Design is a national charity dedicated to connecting people with the design of their places, and connecting design with people. For over two decades, we have supported communities, organisations and networks to work collaboratively to shape buildings, spaces, homes and neighbourhoods.The Glass-House sees design not only as a tool for creating great places, but also as a way to connect people and empower them with enhanced confidence, skills and a greater sense of agency. We provide hands-on support and training, share knowledge and learning, and inspire new thinking and debate through action research, events and resources.

The Glass-House Community Led Design

REdistribute is part of the 2022/23 Glass-House WEdesign event series, Relearning Place, in collaboration with SSoA at Sheffield University

Relearning Place: WEdesign 2022/23

Change is a dynamic constant in our lives. Through the Relearning Place event series, we will explore the concept of relearning and how this approach might encourage people to think differently and to affect culture, policy and practice. Join us!

Over the centuries, trade and migration have had an immeasurable impact on our daily lives, influencing people, politics, economies, culture and by association, our places. Historic and contemporary colonialism has also significantly shaped our towns and cities.At this in-person event, with support from students from <a href="https://www.sheffield.ac.uk/architecture" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Sheffield School of Architecture</a>, we will be exploring what role each of us can play in decolonising our contemporary places, and how this reapproach to place can address the climate emergency. Through discussion and hands-on actiivities, we will be exploring how we can redistribute assets, products, crafts, skills and services at global and local scales through collaborative placemaking.This Glass-House WEdesign event will be an active space where students, practitioners, policy-makers and citizens work together with The Glass-House, alongside students and tutors from <a href="https://www.sheffield.ac.uk/architecture" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Sheffield University School of Architecture</a> and <a href="https://liveworks.ssoa.info/" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Live Works</a>, to explore and co-design creative methods of engagement and collaborative placemaking that can help us redistribute access to and power over our places and our planet.This is a free event, but places are limited.This event will take place in person at the University of Sheffield, with further venue information to follow in the new year. WEdesign is kindly supported by the <a href="https://www.ovearupfoundation.org/" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Ove Arup Foundation</a>.<h3>About the series</h3>Change is a dynamic constant in our lives and through the Relearning Place event series we will explore the concept of relearning and how this approach might encourage people to think differently and to affect culture, policy and practice in design and placemaking. Through a series of online and in-person events, Relearning Place explores the role of communities in design and placemaking and how the recent changes in political, economic, socio-cultural and environmental influences are altering how we respond, relate to and adapt the places where we live, work and play.So how do we reconsider what we think we know about place and placemaking as we adapt to external factors of change?What do we have to unlearn to enable us to relearn? Is relearning a continual process for places?Relearning Place is The Glass-House 2022/23 WEdesign series which combines free, interactive events and co-design activities taking place in person in Glasgow, Sheffield, London, Newcastle, with a range of online events and think pieces.
