RESOLVE Collective
RESOLVE Collective
RESOLVE is an interdisciplinary design collective that combines architecture, engineering, technology, and art to address social challenges. They have delivered numerous projects, workshops, publications, and talks in the UK and across the world, all of which look toward realising just and equitable visions of change in our built environment.
Much of RESOLVE’s work aims to provide platforms for the production of new knowledge and ideas. An integral part of this way of working means designing with and for young people and under-represented groups in society. Here, ‘design’ encompasses both physical and systemic intervention, exploring ways of using a project’s site as a resource and working with different communities as stakeholders in the short and long-term management of projects. In this way, design carries more than aesthetic value; it is also a mechanism for political and socio-economic change.
RESOLVE's portfolio includes architecture/urban design projects, community support work, art installations, and research publications. They lead an undergraduate unit at the Architectural Association and are Honorary Fellows of the Royal Institute of British Architects. Members hold positions as trustees at Build Up Foundation and Theatrum Mundi, Lecturer at University of the Arts London, Design Expert for the Design Council, and advisor for Wysing Arts Centre.
