Maker Library Network

The British Council recognises that one of the biggest barriers to the development of creative economies is infrastructure -whether that’s high speed internet, places to meet or the social networks which make others with similar ambitions visible and accessible.

This brief asked us to consider how to connect young designers and makers, initially in 3 countries, and ultimately in 11 countries on 4 continents. The light touch format we proposed offered simple ways for them to forge connections both locally and internationally, through a simple template of making, display and sharing. It successfully facilitated knowledge and skills exchange amongst young professionals and encouraged public engagement with creativity.
