The Positive Collective Information

The Positive+ Collective came together with the mission to design our homes and communities to meet the combined challenges of the housing crisis, the climate emergency, and healthy and inclusive living. Founded by changebuilding, humblebee, and Perpendicular Architecture we embrace a collaborative and agile approach to design. The Positive Collective Mission Positive Interactions Closer collaboration can help solve the complex challenges we now face. The Positive Collective brings building design and manufacturing ability together in a way suited to meet the needs of people, projects, places and our shared planet. Positive Resources We think about our collected work across Five Capitals: natural, human, society, manufactured and financial to make sure we enhance and nurture our environmental and human wellbeing and not simply deliver well designed and economic buildings. Positive Energy This includes resetting our ambitions to move beyond being sustainable to regenerative design solutions, generating more than we consume. Positive for Nature We work with and not against nature and therefore we tend towards natural products and systems recognising the practical limits of their application. We advocate for nature and biodiversity in our speech and in action. Positive Ethos We need a more just and equitable built environment. Our work focuses bringing the most value of projects to the local communities where they are and human wellbeing. Positive Productivity We use advanced manufacturing-led methods to improve building quality, using digital methods to make buildings that suit each client’s needs. Positive Contribution The collective extends to helping improve the whole industry. We continue to engage with teaching and lecturing, and also sharing our knowledge in an open way using Creative Commons when our client agrees. Positive Language In our dealings and communication we will be open and use plain English so everyone understands what is being proposed.
