Hands On Bristol
Matthew is part of a cluster of academics and practitioners at UWE involved in 'live' projects in and around the city, called Hands On Bristol.
Hands On Bristol is a collaboration between the School of Architecture, University of the West of England and the Bristol community, that seeks to encourage and strengthen knowledge exchange between education programmes and local communities through collaboration in live projects.
The projects can be seen on the Hands On Bristol site, a ‘knowledge hub’ where best ‘live’ practice initiatives undertaken by students and staff at UWE are displayed. The website serves as an information link: between UWE students and the Bristol community, as well as UWE academics and the research community. The site is designed primarily to be used in two ways: as a resource that documents and archives the research and knowledge generated through the live projects; and as a site where students and community groups can gain an understanding of the kind of projects that we are engaged in: learning to collaborate and collaborating to learn.
