People's Centre
Community-focused buildings that serve public needs and strengthen social infrastructure.
People's centres are civic buildings designed to serve communities through shared spaces and public programs. These projects prioritize accessibility and social function, often becoming anchors for neighborhoods and gathering places for diverse groups.The community explores how architects integrate people's centres into existing contexts, from inserting social infrastructure into dense urban schools to revitalizing rural settlements. Projects demonstrate approaches to mass timber construction, adaptive reuse, and culturally grounded design that respects ancestral territories and local heritage.
