About Assemble
Assemble won “Europe’s most prestigious contemporary visual art award, the Turner Prize” for their work with Granby Four Streets Community Land Trust in Liverpool, where they brought 10 houses back into use as homes and public space (more on that project here). They have many years' experience of rehabilitating and retrofitting buildings of various different types, and are known for creatively reusing materials, often with significant community involvement.
