CASC were jointly appointed by City of London and Hawkins\Brown to work with the collaborative design team transforming the public realm around Smithfield, starting in 2020. Together, we developed an artist brief that sought to embed an artist’s thinking within the design team to impact critical conversations about equity of public space. This shift from an outcome-centred brief was critical to a process that expanded the ways in which art and culture can impact public realm design.
Our work with Larry Achiampong in the role of artist-in-residence on the design team has recently been captured and shared in this report published by the City of London.
