Design Advocacy

Design Advocacy launchLondon is now growing and changing faster than it has done for decades. The need for everyone involved in conceiving, planning, assessing – and using – new buildings and old ones – to understand what good design is, and why it is crucial to the capital’s future, is pressing.

Design advocacy – that is, design awareness programmes for London decision-makers – is a key part of Open House's work. Within these programmes we provide exemplars of both buildings and processes that allow decision-makers of all kinds to see the value in investing resources in the development of a well-designed built environment; develop collaborative networks of interest among built environment decision-makers at local and regional levels; and disseminate research findings, knowledge and best practice to inform the creation of high-quality architecture and public space.

Through these programmes we aim to help navigate through the complexities and principles underlying projects of all types – places, spaces and buildings; piece by piece they have an effect on the city.
