Assemble
Assemble ( English for "assemble, assemble, accumulate") is a group of 18 architects, designers and artists from London.
Her best-known project to date is “Granby Four Streets”, which essentially involves the renovation and redesign of row houses in Liverpool's working-class Toxteth district , which were threatened with demolition, in cooperation with their residents . In another project, they converted a former gas station into a cinema.
The group Assemble was awarded the Turner Prize 2015. The jury praised her experimentation “with art, design and architecture” and her “approach to renewal, urban planning and development”, which she contrasted with “ gentrification by companies”. However, critics have questioned whether Assemble's work is actually a work of art. Mark Brown, art editor of the Guardian , called them "non-artists, in the strictest sense of the word".
