A Building for your Community is built by New Practice - sharing information, ideas, questions and answers surrounding community-led development.
We have a podcast!
What if buildings weren’t just designed for communities, but by them?
A Building for Your Community is a new series hosted by architect Becca Thomas exploring how people are reclaiming space, reshaping development, and redefining who gets to build.
Architects. Artists. Activists. Community groups. Real stories of change.
How do we build spaces that truly serve the people who use them?

The series is designed for community members, groups and organisations looking to learn how to best approach the transformation and improvement of community-led spaces, buildings and other assets.
A Building for your Community provides useful guides to the basics for anyone looking to learn how to best approach the transformation and improvement of community buildings.
At New Practice we are passionate about supporting community-led development and we have a number of free to access documents, resources and tools available for community groups and curious individuals looking to explore this topic further.
The series has grown from a newsletter and live-streamed conversations in 2020 into a collection of resources across a number of topics. Thank you all our collaborators and contributors:
