These Are The Projects We Do Together has earned a reputation working predominantly with ‘problematic’ sites. Through architecture, design, embedded education, maintenance, caretaking, operations, creative program and open access, the practice seeks to reposition these ‘problematic’ sites as crucial, creative and socially inclusive spaces and communities.
Currently working across three project-sites — Testing Grounds is a State Government creative infrastructure and urban renewal project in Southbank Arts Precinct. Siteworks is a Local Government community and creative development site in Brunswick. The Quarry is a sandstone quarry in Victoria’s Otway Ranges, undergoing rehabilitation and purchased by the practice as a large-scale multi-generational research, art, design and education site.
We operate a ‘projects-in-projects’ model, where major projects accommodate and foster a wide range of smaller collaborative projects that contribute to the health and vitality of the larger project-ecosystem. These smaller projects are often self-initiated, have public outcomes and involve bringing together industry, creative practitioners and student groups.
Our work is predominantly self-initiated, and stems from a desire to do the right thing and a genuine curiosity in the world.
