Haworth Tompkins win CAT masterplan project 03.03.22

Haworth Tompkins has won the opportunity to work with the Centre for Alternative Technology (CAT) on an ambitious masterplan at the Mid-Wales eco centre, supported by funding from the UK Community Renewal Fund. CAT is an internationally renowned environmental charity, eco centre and UK-leading provider of postgraduate environmental education, the proposed project will see the creation of new spaces for education in sustainable solutions; areas to deliver green skills for the future; and an immersive world-class tourism experience to inspire many more people to take action on environmental solutions. As co-founders of Architects Declare we are acutely aware of the climate and biodiversity emergency the planet faces and the urgent need to take radical positive action. As a team, regenerative design sits at the root of our work. We are especially excited to be working with CAT on this project, as it builds upon our own experience and interest to go further, adopting regenerative principles to achieve long-term positive (rather than neutral) impacts, for both the community and environment. We will be leading a team which includes Metaphor, Momentum, Max Fordham, Exploration Architecture, JCLA and Rural Office on plans which will be shaped by public consultation and research over the coming months.
