Civic Square
Consultancy, workshops and training events for Civic Square, across their 3 sites in Birmingham.
We have been working with Civic Square to help design and document the strategy for reuse within their canal-side former industrial buildings. This process has included a series of workshops that ran during Summer 2026 to audit materials and features within the NPS (Neighbourhood Public Square) site.
‘After more than 10 years of organising in their home city, CIVIC SQUARE are actively working on site to co-build Neighbourhood Public Square as an significant demonstrator, orientating development and construction towards the many layers of redesign required for regenerative civic infrastructure at the heart of our neighbourhoods.
Together with many people and partners they are reimagining land stewardship, finance, and governance, as well as deeply committing to ecological building design, bio-based material retrofit, and acting in an infrastructural capacity to enable wider built environment transition.’
