About

About

Assemble is a London-based organisation who design and make buildings, artworks, gardens, playgrounds, furniture, exhibitions and events. We develop business plans, project strategies and create organisations. We design, construct and manage workspaces. We curate, teach, write books, publish research and lecture publicly. Each of these activities form an interconnected body of work. 

Assemble uses design as a tool to respond to the environmental, social and economic challenges we face today. We believe that built examples along with critical reflection are the most effective means to have a positive impact.

Assemble aspires to: 

- Apply careful and rigorous design 

- Preserve industrial spaces in the city

- Defend public and cultural spaces

- Deploy inventive reuse within economic constraints

- Celebrate craft and material knowledge

- Actively engage with the land and its communities

- Advocate for play

Founded in 2010 by a group of friends to undertake a single self-built project, Assemble’s organisational structure has changed shape over the years. We continue to work co-operatively, valuing debate and collaboration as a partnership. We operate using a constellation model, collaborating between ourselves and with others to create award winning projects.
