The Sensing Place symposium was a 3-day event launching our public realm programme, and brought together thinkers, collaborators, artists and members of the community to our new site to discuss and develop dialogue for the design brief and blueprint processes for 24 Guildhall Road. Contributors presented their projects, provocations and processes, in dialogue with our design team and partnership stakeholders. 

This event was also an opportunity to view phase 1 capital works and opened up the design process for phase 2. More information about 24 Guildhall Road can be found here.
