Empowering Design Practices is a 5 year funded research project, in collaboration with The Open University and The GlassHouse. Live Works has delivered a range of Community Design Training courses, specifically tailored Live Projects and most recently the Live Projects Box! This pair of interactive units are designed to travel around the country and installed in Historic places of worship. Once opened, the boxes provide an interactive guide to the Live Projects, providing inspiration and advice for groups aiming to open their building up for wider community use.

The Live Projects Box was designed and assembled by Masters students to a tight timescale and showcased at the EDP Live event. The Box marks the culmination of the wider research project and highlights the importance of the Live Projects to the overall success of the research work. The Live Project Box enables people to consider key issues that they may need to address in their buildings, and begin to consider how these might be addressed in the future.
