I have always thought architecture should be community driven, with people taking pride in, and being involved with the places they live, work and play. Being part of Turner Works allows for a open dialogue with the community, meaning we can create poignant connections between buildings and their inhabitants.
One of the first projects I worked on was the Bristol Western Harbour. These engagements with the local community were integral to the collaborative vision and created a level of excitement and energy around the project that felt truly authentic to its place. Bringing together those ideas, from such a wide array of people, was a joy to be involved in and resulted in a solution that was by the community for the community.
