Local visions of creating sustainable communities
Exploring how a local vision of a more sustainable community has been derived and articulated, this research is examining how such visions have originated, been modified through the process of partnership working and co-production, and the ways in which such imaginations are expressed. Four case studies of communities seeking local transformational change are being used to explore wider issues about how multiple visions are formed, Read more about the case studies under Future Visions.
Valuing design and innovation in Built Heritage
This AHRC funded project is investigating the value of design and innovation through a set of managed dialogues between three key sets of stakeholders who together influence the use and value of design in the context of built environment heritage. These conversations - between academics, design SMEs and the national heritage agencies - will provide accounts of how design focused SMEs have been enabled or inhibited from engaging with innovation in relation to heritage, how those agencies which influence regulation and governance are engaging with design sector, and how together they understand the role and value of design in relation to heritage.
