HOW WECANMAKE WORKS
our
mission
WeCanMake has a people and place-led approach to housing innovation, embedded in and working with the community of a 100-year old council-built estate in Knowle West, Bristol. Our mission is to grow the spaces, tools and capacities to collectively imagine and actively anticipate better community-led ways to do housing. This means more than just generating speculative futures, but making practical glimmers through prototyping and testing out ideas for real so that people can tangibly see and feel how new possibilities might work on the ground.
So we asked ourselves: what if the power and resources to create good homes were in the hands of communities?
