Assemble’s raison d’être is creating work that actively involves the public, not just as spectators but as collaborators. The two projects it won the prize for typify this. The first was an adventure playground in Dalmarnock, a district of Scotland’s East Glasgow. The supervised but child-led space’s design was inspired by a statement from the American anarchist author Peter Lamborn Wilson that “cherishing and unleashing are the same act.”
