Urban Transcripts Details
We work on city making by bringing together research, community participation and design. We respond to the urban challenges of the future through a holistic approach: through research we analyse the urban process and identify strengths and weaknesses; through community participation we engage citizens and stakeholders in the urban development process; through design we re-shape and re-programme the urban fabric creating sustainably successful places. Each of our projects starts as a unique urban problem to resolve. Fusing expert research and public participation into the design process we provide innovative solutions addressing the socioeconomic and environmental challenges our cities are facing. Our key service is an integrated research-event-design package that starts by defining an urban problem and ends by providing our clients with urban design and policy proposals. Within and beyond this framework we provide: Research and consulting Workshops and public events Urban Design projects and studies Our story Urban Transcripts was born of a desire to create a new tool through which to explore the city as a complex phenomenon in a participatory and cross-disciplinary way. It was initiated in 2010 as an annual programme of events such as exhibitions, conferences, and workshops, focused on, and hosted in, a different city every year. Our point of departure was to grasp and effectively communicate the complexity of the city through an "urban transcript" that becomes a basis for opening up city making to participatory and interdisciplinary approaches. In 2013, Urban Transcripts shifted its activity from an annual event to a multitude of projects on the city. In each of our projects creating a transcript out of a complex urban reality is what we see as the first step towards resolving an urban problem and generating successful solutions. The "urban transcript" has remained a central component in our pursuit to ‘read' cities and propose new ‘writings' on them.
