Projects & Practice

The Projects and Practice Department is the consultancy arm of The Foundation, a multi-disciplinary team of architects, urban designers and urban planners which operates as a social enterprise by engaging in fee earning urban design and master planning projects.

The Department has been involved in projects throughout the UK and abroad, ranging from sustainable urban extensions to Town wide regeneration strategies and following the design principles and vision of The Foundation and its President.

One of the main aims of the Projects & Practice Department is to develop a number of exemplar projects. These will vary in range of scales and settings and should reveal that an attention to timeless and ecological ways of planning, designing and building can improve the quality of people’s lives.

In creating these exemplars, The Foundation will demonstrate in practice a set of tools and techniques, including Enquiry by Design and Urban Codes & Pattern Books, that build upon traditional urbanism and that can be adopted as templates to inform the Education Programme of the Foundation.
