Assemble (collective)
Assemble are a collective based in London who work across the fields of art, architecture and design. They began working together in 2010 and have 18 members. Assemble's working practice seeks to address the typical disconnection between the public and the process by which places are made. Assemble champion a working practice that is interdependent and collaborative, seeking to actively involve the public as both participant and collaborator in the on-going realization of the work.
None of the members of the collective is a fully qualified architect, and even some of them are not architects at all. Some art critics say that Assamble represents a different vision opposite to those mainstream values in the world art.
Granby Four Streets
Assemble's most notable work is the "Granby Four Streets" community project in Toxteth, Liverpool.[1] Beaconsfield Street, Cairns Street, Jermyn Street and Ducie Street were built around 1900 with terraced houses for artisan workers.
The Granby project was nominated for and won the 2015 Turner Prize.[2]
