Urban Projects Bureau is a collaboration of architects, urbanists and academics, engaged in pioneering work in the fields of architecture and urbanism. Committed to spatial design as a transformative practice, Urban Projects Bureau intervenes in processes of social, political and urban change through research, teaching, spatial strategy and design.

Our approach is strategic in nature and specific in focus: we believe in constructing spaces as a way of generating change. We have a breadth of experience and knowledge in architecture and urbanism, and have undertaken projects in the UK, Europe, Asia, South America and South Africa. We work across a range of scales and sectors, and apply our analytical thinking and design expertise to public and private projects of varying sizes and types - from social housing to exhibitions and interiors, from regional development strategies to the design of civic spaces. Key to our work is an interest in the ways in which spaces are inhabited and used, and a commitment to the public realm as a place of social exchange and political activity

Urban Projects Bureau work with urban processes that shape the city and its institutions, and operate as a think tank to develop critical frameworks through which to re-think existing challenges and envision alternative urban models. Extending the potential of urbanism as a discipline, we collaborate with Government bodies, NGO’s, social agencies, and public organisations to apply design-thinking to political and institutional affairs.
