ACTION

We chatted with all sorts of people to identify key concerns and eventually identified three main issues: poor housing, use of green spaces, and independent businesses. For the pilot phase we are focusing specifically on the damp housing issue whilst keeping the conversation for all three issues alive.

This section documents a series of workshops undertaken in the ‘Design phase’ of the project. We explored different technologies and approaches to tackling damp housing, working together to agree who would contribute and what these contributions would be.
