We are Building Culture
What we do
Producing
We draw on extensive real world experience across the full spectrum of the creative and cultural sector, strengthened by our associates model, to produce human centred, meaningful work that is deeply rooted in place and built for lasting impact.
Placemaking
We have been developing our placemaking and regeneration expertise since 2008, first, through our sibling organisation, Empty Shop CIC, and in recent years though Building Culture. Our placemaking methodology was shaped through a long-term commitment to our home town, and further developed through a desire to share, inform, empower and catalyse.
Practice-led consultancy
Being generous with our expertise adds another string to our bow. Our unique way of working means we roll up our sleeves to embed ourselves where it’s useful, calling upon our ground-up, grassroots heritage to test and deliver. This results-forward approach informs with practice not just theory.
Practice-led, action research, R&D, pilot delivery, proof of concept… however you frame it, through our hands-on style of consultancy we inform the projects we believe in.
In short, we build culture.

About us

A sibling organisation to Empty Shop CIC, Building Culture combines the classic hands-on, delivery-led approach Empty Shop is known for with the placemaking and regeneration expertise we have developed over the last 15 years to share, inform, empower and catalyse.
Always starting from a baseline of social responsibility, our grassroots heritage and sector level experience gives us a unique position from which to offer a distinctive brand of practice-led consultancy.
We advocate authentic and embedded response over ‘off-the-shelf’ solutions and deliver this through our tried and tested collaborative, practice-focused approach.
