(Hosted by Oxfordshire Community Land Trust)

Join us for a talk by members of the Turner Prize-winning, multi-disciplinary architecture, design and art collective Assemble about retrofitting buildings. They’ll tell us about the general principles they use to guide their retrofit projects, as well as more specific detail about their current project at St Anne's College in Oxford, where they're refurbishing 10 Victorian villas.

The venue is wheelchair accessible. If you're planning to come to the talk and the cost of transport will be an issue, please get in touch with josh@oclt.org.uk and we'll do our best to refund the cost of a standard return bus fare (£4).

About Assemble

Assemble won “Europe’s most prestigious contemporary visual art award, the Turner Prize” for their work with Granby Four Streets Community Land Trust in Liverpool, where they brought 10 houses back into use as homes and public space (more on that project here). They have many years' experience of rehabilitating and retrofitting buildings of various different types, and are known for creatively reusing materials, often with significant community involvement.
