| Collaborative
practice between artists and urban designers has been promoted as a
means of producing creative solutions for urban environments; enhancing
the quality of urban design and creating imaginative environments that
reflect local identity and meet communities’ needs. |
| Recent funding
and policy initiatives have encouraged such collaborations, presenting
greater opportunities for the professions to work together within a
design team. But what is the real added value of these working
partnerships, and how do they work in practice? |
| The Resource for
Urban Design Information (RUDI) and PublicArt SouthWest (PASW) are
organising this oneday conference with the aim of informing,
challenging and debating collaborative practice in the realm of
contemporary art and urban design. |
| The event will
explore the process and experience of collaboration and, perhaps more
importantly,will consider the integration of artists and their ideas
into urban design teams and programmes. |
