The artist - architects collective Plattformer was founded by Carl Richardson, Tim Mitchell and Nina Scholz.

 

Plattformer aims to use the city as a place where workshops, play and intervention can become a catalyst for innovative ways to address our daily lives and challenge our habitual routines.

The Collective’s work is set somewhere between urbanism, public art and social interaction. We often work in areas and places that are in transition. In our projects we strongly believe in hands on participation, enhancing communication and exchange between people of different cultural backgrounds, different ages and abilities. Our temporary and permanent installations and built structures in the public realm aim to provide opportunities for people to get together and actively use their local environment, by creating sites of dialogue, interaction and play.

As a not-for-profit organisation of artists, architects and designer makers we've been working together on projects in the public realm since 2004.

In previous projects we've worked with: The London Borough Councils of Hackney and Islington, London Fields Estate, Cornwallis Square Youth Centre, Mary Magdalene Academy, Breeze Landscape Architects, Remapp Landscape Architects St Lukes Primary School, Colvestone Primary School, Holy Trinity Primary School, The Building Exploratory, Tate Modern, Mlyn na Woli Partnership, University of Warsaw - Institute of Polish Culture, Stowarzyszenie Aktywności Społeczno-Artystycznej „Nie Po Drodze", Suwalski Klub Seniora, Fundacji Strefa WolnoSłowa, ROD Obrońców Pokoju, Berlin Senat(DE) and 'the general public'.

For Sonicpong we are collaborating with musician and sound artist James Dunn. For Pingponginthecity we've been collaborating with Bristol based designer maker Tim Greaves. Many thanks to Mark Chapman of Michael Barclay Partnership LLP for the advice on the structural engineering of the concrete tables.
