Architects are invited to collaborate with Homes for Cornwall, a new community led group seeking to tackle the housing crisis for local people in Cornwall one radical acre at a time.
On 21 March 2024 the call for collaboration launches with a design workshop with architects and students hosted at Falmouth University School of Architecture.
You will work with students for the evening to generate ideas in response to a brief for a single notational rural acre. How can a single acre be used to create a new rural home response that could be developed and used by communities throughout the Southwest?
A reportage illustrator will work alongside students and architects on the evening and the ideas generated will be showcased in a Radical Rural Acre ‘Homes for Cornwall’ EXPO in May 2024.
Format of the event
The attendees will be divided into teams, each with a unique brief and each allocated 1 acre of rural edge land. There will be two hours of design time followed by group reflection.
