Design

archi-treasures uses a participatory design process which brings together community members with architects and artists to brainstorm project ideas.

Using their technical expertise and experience the artists and architects can:

  • help to answer questions as they arise
  • help to make visual images of people’s ideas
  • anticipate solutions to practical issues

An archi-treasures design workshop can take place during a 4 hour session. The workshop can also be expanded to take place over several days. An expanded design phase might include more intensive research or further development of ideas into a three dimensional model.
