Co-founder of architecture and art collective Assemble James Binning will introduce his work as well as a new project, Common Treasures, an organisation dedicated to creating and implementing practical tools and processes that enable and empower communities, landowners, housing providers and Local Authorities to realise better shared outcomes for rural places and the people that live and work in them.
Assemble is a London-based organisation who design and make buildings, artworks, gardens, playgrounds, furniture, exhibitions and events. They design, construct and manage workspaces, curate, teach, write books, publish research and lecture publicly. Each of these activities form an interconnected body of work.
Assemble uses design as a tool to respond to the environmental, social and economic challenges we face today. In 2015, Assemble was the first architecture practice to win the Turner Prize, Europe’s most prestigious prize for art.
