Key Projects
Art & Architecture Collaboration
Futurecity is expert in developing meaningful ways to engage artists in the design process, finding early opportunities to integrate creative approaches into the fabric of architecture and public realm. By harnessing the fabric of the city as a canvas for art we create memorable destinations.
Community Engagement
We design and deliver programmes that put communities at the heart of cultural projects. Through consultations, workshops and collaborations with residents, schools and local organisations, we ensure that strategies and artworks are inclusive, relevant and rooted in place. Our approach builds trust, unlocks local knowledge and fosters a sense of ownership, helping projects to resonate and endure.
Cultural Activation
We transform underused or transitional spaces into creative destinations that engage communities and test ideas ahead of long-term development. By combining cultural programming, partnerships and storytelling, our cultural activation programmes build identity, attract stakeholders and create visible public value early in a site’s lifecycle. They also lay the groundwork for lasting cultural infrastructure by demonstrating potential and shaping long-term vision.
