Civic design collectivesParticipatory urbanisms. f.

Chiang Mai architecture and landscape studio working through participatory processes on housing, heritage and environment. It has worked alongside the Mae Kha canal communities, drafted with them the canal-side land use framework agreed with CODI, and set up the urban farm on a former dump. It is the most visible civic design node in the north of the country. A tension to watch: it is a company that also takes commissions, and its role as mediator between residents and institutions has no formal mandate.
