ASSEMBLE are a young award-winning practice of designers, researchers and artists whose work focuses on public space and collaborative practice. Three years ago they established their office in the form of Sugarhouse Studios, in the Olympic Fringe of East London.

This lecture will discuss the iterative development of this space in relation to Assemble’s practice and the surrounding communities: from Cinema and Pizzeria, to workshop and studio complex. This includes a number of local projects in the surrounding areas of Bow and Stratford that have been made possible by Assemble’s residency in Sugarhouse.
