Placemaking
“Most places acquire meaning and cultural significance through human use, ceremony and transformation. Places assume a sacred nature though our relationship with them.”
– Richard Francis-Jones
fjmt develop placemaking strategies through an interactive process involving community, clients, artists and consultants. We undertake in-depth analysis of each site to understand its culture and society, its demographic, community assets, as well as the physical environment and microclimate. Our broad experience in community consultation underpins our collaboration with community representatives to understand what is truly unique about each locale and its context.
As an integrated urban design, landscape and architecture studio, we apply our knowledge, and the experience of stakeholders, to envisage the site’s use in varied modes and by different community members. Further rigour is applied through collaboration with our partners who offer economic, market, retail and F&B strategic advice. Our aim is to strengthen social fabric both through the process of creation and by delivering sustainable and enduring public assets.
