The myplace programme aims to deliver world-class youth facilities driven by the active participation of young people, their views and needs. Myplace responds to commitments made in Aiming High for Young People, the DCSF’s ten-year strategy for improving facilities for young people and helping them participate in enjoyable and purposeful activities in their free time.
The Sorrell Foundation assembled a bespoke team for the Bristol project to work alongside the bid team and the architects Stride Treglown, chosen by competitive tender. This consisted of a client team of local young people, the architects and SPY.
Through a series of meetings, interactive workshops, conversations and inspirational visits with the team, SPY collaboratively developed the name and identity scheme.
The culmination of all this work was a live presentation by the team in front of a packed audience.
