Talk
We spend time talking to the people who live, work or play in an area, finding out what they think about their surroundings and what we can collectively do to make positive change. We ask questions in fun, creative and surprising ways, to get exciting, useful and thoughtful answers. Think

urhood. From those, we work corroboratively to discuss changes or designs, facilitating projects rather than leading them; local people are fully involved in the whole process and where possible, involved in the fabrication. Shape
Before we reach final decisions or designs, we prototype and test them using cheap and cheerful materials, allowing us to get feedback, and to tweak and change the ideas until they fit perfectly. Make
When the output is physical or digital we work with specialist contractors to manufacture and install pieces. Inspire
Once the changes are in place, we help project groups to think about what they can do next, ensuring the projects become catalysts for further conversations.
