Architecture at York: empowering and building communities in York

How do we create places with people, rather than imposing ideas on them? Watch this YorkTalk from Professor Lorraine Farrelly, Founding Professor and Head of the new Department of Architecture and the Built Environment at the University of York, and find out about her experience in co-creating developments with neighbourhood communities.

From the idea of “build it and they will come”, to empowering communities to come and join in building, a people-based approach to place-making embraces and enables a vital social dimension to sustainability and regeneration. Lorraine sets out her vision of a department that inspires students and staff to learn by contributing to a positive future for the city.
