The Home for Placemaking & Design

The design of our cities & the built environment we share, profoundly affects us all. Design West brings together the world’s best thinkers & practitioners, to find innovative solutions to the challenges of our time. Join our thriving network of experts from across the South West & beyond. With co-design at the heart of what we do, together we can help shape great places for everyone.

The RIBA was delighted to collaborate with Design West to bring the Stirling Prize winners to speak in Exeter and Bristol. The talks and conversation were very well received, and RIBA look forward to working with Design West in the future.
