In the summer of 2010, Joe Halligan and a group of architecture friends decided to turn a disused petrol station in East London into a cinema. This project laid the foundations for what would become Assemble, a 15-strong multidisciplinary collective for whom no project is too big or too small; from Chicken Town, a social enterprise restaurant to Granby Four Street, a whole neighbourhood redeveloped in Liverpool (and being awarded the Turner Prize to boot).

Join George Lamb as he talks to Joe about what he thinks the real role of Architecture is, and how community-first projects are essential for turning the cities we inhabit into utopias.
