This week we've been in Wolverhampton with Mikhail Riches presenting our ideas for the St George's neighbourhood. We were also fortunate to spend time with the Regeneration Brainery and Wolverhampton Youth Council working through their wishes for the future of the city.
In February 2024, we had the chance to mentor two brilliant students, Humayra and Shamun, as part of the Open City Accelerate Programme. Their project theme was Rituals, translating the spectacular and mundane into celebratory designs for an overlooked site in Dalston.
You can check out their amazing final work of sketches and models at the Accelerate Summer Exhibition from 11-14 July. More info here.
