Communications & Engagement

As part of the public engagement programme at the Aylesbury Estate we hosted an Assemble & Join the pop-up on the site now occupied by Plot 18 and the new public square. Hosted over four weeks during the school summer holidays, the project attracted hundreds of local people, especially children, all designing and building items for the local area.

Our client at Notting Hill Genesis worked with us to make the project happen and to help advertise it across the estate. We ran daily workshops for 4 weeks, and created many items including street furniture, table tennis tables, bird boxes, planters, a new cross for the church, signage for youth clubs and the local community centre. The established programme of designing days and making days resulted in the individuals and groups participating to decide chess tables, signs, skateboard ramps and football targets were needed in the play areas and open spaces.
