'Changing Places'
Young People from Peterborough and Cambridge have been taking part in ‘Changing Places’ one of Shape’s future heritage projects. Participants have been exploring the hidden meanings encapsulated in their familiar local environment, and recording their memories, feelings and hopes for the future.

The Home Run
With 10,000 spectators and 4,000 participants Peterborough hosts the biggest running event in the Eastern region. Peterborough’s flat landscape makes it an ideal host for a marathon. Conversely its lack of landmarks, contours and its unremarkable streetscapes don’t help the runners to gain an understanding or interest in the place. Its unremarkable streetscape conceals the rich cultural patchwork of migrant communities growing up along the route. Led by an artist/architect/structural engineer dream team, this pilot project will involve community groups in designing and building a celebratory, temporary, faux structure along the route of the Great Eastern run. The structure will celebrate and reflect the ethnicity and interests of the host communities.

Ramsey Zero Carbon Project
Students from Abbey College worked with a range of built environment professionals to develop their own proposals for a development site in Ramsey, which they then took out to public consultation.

Papworth Everard Community Consultation
Shape-East worked in partnership with 5th Studio Architects to run an innovative and participatory community consultation process that was be the basis of a masterplan for Papworth Everard.
