The Civic Sheds Project: A look at public pavilions and their roles in civic engagement. 

Join Tim Brown, AIA for this talk about The Civic Sheds Project. The Civic Sheds Project is a reaction to those working to devalue the worth of deep ongoing civic engagement. To those trying to erase the notion of shared aims, of collective effort. The resulting erosion of public and civic life has, in turn, decimated our public and especially our civic spaces in the United States. The idea of the citizenry is in desperate need of expansion and elaboration, along with the spaces that support civic engagement. So the project is radically simple: build a roof in each community under which we can gather to talk, discuss, and debate, where we can all come together and do the work of the citizenry under one roof. It’s a factory roof where we can make a society.

Timothy Brown AIA NCARB is principal of Tim Brown Architecture in Six Mile, SC. Tim taught at IIT's College of Architecture for twenty-five years and is now an Associate Professor at Clemson's School of Architecture.
