Since founding, we've always been interested in making knowledge of our built world more diverse and inclusive. For us, this means both elevating the voices on the margins, and bringing these stories in a more accessible jargon-free format.

Our built world is after all experienced by all, and has an effect on everyone.
In this new chapter, we are creating a collective platform to tell the stories of our built world that often remain untold, hidden, or even just forgotten - and we would love to share your stories!

Huge thanks to @harshag_, @selasi_setufe & @MoTabarra who visited our London office this week to discuss colonial legacy and equality in Britain.
The time, engagement and openness of the guest speakers and our audience members was incredible to see.
