Inspiring cities

We are delighted to have Odd sympathies featured on Inspiring cities website. You can have a look at the article here.
Thanks to Kerry Spring for her review.

"Inspiring Cities is about international and interdisciplinary best practice in urban development. It is about the exchange of ideas and changing the way people think about the city."

Manchester presentation

Last week we gave a presentation of our work to the MA students of the Design Lab at Manchester School of Art, followed by discussions about our practice and working methods.
The Design Lab is an interesting programme introducing students from different departments to the idea and process of collaboration on live projects.
