Design Workshop by CSM’s Architecture Degree Studio 11: ‘Act’ to ‘decolonise climate and socially responsive design’

The effects of climate change are known to be disproportionately affecting the socio-economically vulnerable communities, living in high risk areas, resulting in climate, spatial inequity. Join us for a series of talks and participatory design workshop, at a free event, organised in collaboration with the LB Tower Hamlets’ Regeneration team and the CSM’s architecture studio 11.

Please book your place through the Eventbrite link below as the venue host requires advance booking.
