Cities and regions, businesses and organisations are all places made by cultural, social and economic trends and traditions.
Places are also re-made and in making. We use the vision ‘Dreams of Place Making’ in order to investigate and enlarge a quality, particular atmosphere and ‘common sense’ of a place. How a place is made and what it can become in the future is the core of place making.
We follow the culture policy guidelines from A Creative Economy Green Paper for the Nordic Region (Nordic Innovation Centre, 2007): Places and cultures can be designed with a strong awareness on quality and sustainability. Through the resources of both cultural heritage, popular culture theory, management and marketing theories, these values of place making - cultural balance, ‘material surroundings as a meaningful experience’ and sustainable growth – are promoted by our work.
‘Dreams of Place Making’ outline the inspiration we wish to promote when businesses, regions and towns plan for the future. The most important question must be: How do we expand the citizen’s experience of a meaningful everyday life?
