About Empowering Design Practices
Empowering Design Practices is a five-year research project (2014-2019) exploring historic places of worship, the people who manage them, and the potential of these buildings as community resources. The aim of the project is to explore how community-led design can help empower those who look after historic places of worship to create more open, vibrant and sustainable places that respect and enhance the heritage of their buildings. Empowering Design Practices is a collaboration between a number of organisations and individuals including: The Open University, The Glass-House Community Led Design, Historic England, Heritage Lottery Fund, the Historic Religious Buildings Alliance, Wright & Wright Architects, and Live Works. The project is funded by the Arts and Humanities Research Council, under their Connected Communities and Design highlight notice. |
