Summary:
Engaged ran as a design research project by Royal College of Art and PiM.Studio Architects. Its aim is to think about the reuse of vacant high street units as toilets (plus commercial or community space), and to grow the idea. This report shares a few key areas that we've uncovered, that have the most potential to pursue, and where we have evidence to support future, focused studies to really fix the problems.
