It looks like the same rule applies to community engagement as it does physical infrastructure – ‘build it and they will come’! Or so it goes with innovative Cape Town based design firm Studio Shelf.
Studio Shelf has been popping up all over the city in an attempt to better connect and interact with the public. By doing so, the Studio is not only getting some interesting results, but also partnering with local businesses who generously allow them to set up a cafe office or ‘coffice’. It’s a great initiative that hopefully continues and inspires others to meet the public(s) they are designing for.
