urbz, in collaboration with @chaal.chaal.agency and @_resdochao_, hosted a collaborative symposium on Friday, November 15th, showcasing our recent projects and exploring diverse methodologies in participatory urbanism. The event brought together practitioners from various architectural backgrounds to examine and challenge conventional approaches to public space design. The workshop began with presentations highlighting our organizations' distinct co-design approaches and commitment to community engagement. Speakers emphasised the importance of understanding community needs and aspirations while deconstructing traditional architectural narratives. The workshop demonstrated how creative constraints can spark innovative solutions for inclusive urban design and concluded with a critical discussion where practitioners from all three organisations shared their experiences, sources of inspiration, and strategies for navigating policy challenges in participatory urban design. This exchange offered valuable insights into the practical realities of community-centered architecture.
