SET 91’s Open Series continues this April with ‘A PATCH Sunday Salon’, an exhibition and live programme led by PATCH, an interdisciplinary collective working across architecture, art and research.

Bringing together works by the collective and its members, the exhibition explores diasporic experiences of the city and considers how architecture can be understood through alternative, community-led lenses.

Alongside the exhibition, the evening includes a live talk and Q&A, as well as a conversational salon returning to questions of home and holding space, asking how diasporic communities can be centred within fast-paced metropolitan environments in ways that are tangible, supportive and meaningful.

This session is free to attend, open to artists, architects, spatial practitioners and those interested in the intersections of community, identity and the built environment.

Date: Sunday 12 April
Times: 4.30-7pm
Location: SET 91, Tabernacle Street, Old Street

🔗 Book your free spot on Outsavvy via the link in bio.

**As places are limited, we kindly ask that you only book if you are able to attend so that others who would benefit from the session are able to take part.

If you can no longer attend, please cancel your ticket and contact us at ninetyone@setspace.uk so the space can be offered to someone else.**

Reinventing industrial heartlands as self-sustaining, self-building neighbourhoods arranged around convivial yards

WearWork, by CARD Projects, PATCH Collective, and Maria Mc Lintock. @katiefisher__, @card.projects, @mariaemclintock, @system.of.systems, @bettsbubbles, @patch_collective_

16.8 million people in the UK live in old industrial towns where industries like coal, steel, and shipbuilding have declined, shedding thousands of jobs.

Sunderland's industrial downturn has left communities like Millfield behind. One of the city's most deprived wards, it faces high unemployment, low life expectancy, and a rental rate nearing 50%. Yet, with a quarter of residents born outside the UK, it remains a place of movement, adaptation, and potential.

WearWork proposes a new model of housing production, embedding mass material manufacturing within communities. On disused land along the River Wear, waste is transformed at scale into high-quality building components, creating an economy that values labour and time over capital. Industries invest directly in the housing and livelihoods of their workforce, funding the production of both materials and homes. These homes are held in a worker-owned trust, for long-term affordability and community stewardship. Residents shape their homes, gaining equity through time and effort rather than traditional finance.

We are delighted to have made the longlist of the Davidson Prize 2025!

Our proposal WearWork seeks to reinvent industrial heartlands as self-sustaining, self-building neighbourhoods arranged around convivial yards.

450 live/work homes, public workshops, and studios form a self-sustaining neighbourhood, arranged around convivial yards - crucibles for industry and social life. Taking cues from vernacular bastle houses and Wearside maisonettes, homes become sites of experimentation and innovation, feeding into a circular economy where feedback refines materials and design over time.

Negroni Sbagliato Talks - We invite you to join PATCH and our panel guest to delve into how people are doing spatial criticism differently.

Introducing the speakers:

Renowned journalist Jonathan Nunn is a food and city writer based in London who co-edits the magazine Vittles and writes for publications such as Eater London, The Guardian and Prospect Magazine.

His practice aims to diversify food writing and the industry itself. As the author of ‘London Feeds Itself’ his reference to the experiencing cities through food is distinctly spatial, delving into the local geographies and community structures as much as the food itself.

In a world where anyone with ideas and internet access can be a critic, does the role of the sole Architectural Critic still hold relevance today? How has the precarity of architectural writing in recent years affected the role of the critic? And is the world of Architectural criticism opening up, or is this just reflective of the declining critic roles available?
