Collaborations

Our work with trans-disciplinary teams and experts features the following people and companies (see also our Projects):

Adept

With Copenhagen-based architect practice Adept, which recently received a special mention in the Monocle Denmark Survey 2012 as ‘one of three young architects practices to watch’, we worked on a number of winning parallel competitions including Køge Kyst and Fredericia. 

AIM

Helsingborg-based architect practice AIM (Architecture Is Made) features urbanists, artists, creatives, dreamers and hard-core designers dedicated to challenging conventional approaches to place-making. With AIM we have recently worked on two highly prestigious competitions in Gothenburg.

Arup

With Arup London we worked on delivering cultural planning masterclasses and presentations to their teams.

BBP Regeneration

With BBP we developed cultural analysis reports for masterplans, one of which is the Dover Masterplan.

Franco Bianchini

We also have a long history of association with academic and cultural policy specialist Franco Bianchini. Over the past twenty years Franco has acted as advisor and researcher on cultural planning strategies and projects in various European countries, on behalf of organizations including the Arts Council of England, the Council of Europe, the European Commission and the European Task Force on Culture and Development. He has lectured on urban cultural policy and planning issues in many countries. Franco has worked with Noema for more than nine years, advising on research methods and cultural mapping for city branding.

Fablevision

With Glasgow-based cultural planning social enterprise specialists Fablevision, we deliver neighbourhood interventions and artist-led community projects.

Gehl Architects

Over the past few years we have worked with the Danish team at Gehl on place mapping masterclasses delivered to members of cities networks affiliated to this high-profile, international urban design practice.

MCO

We have recently formed a work alliance with Dublin-based MCO. This is a multidisciplinary practice with diverse skills and qualifications including business, project management, environmental, architecture, engineering, communications, cultural and social development. Their work with high profile projects, such as The Digital Hub and Temple Bar in Dublin, have made them the first choice for civic leaders looking for integrated approaches to regeneration. MCO and Noema worked together with Sligo County on a Cultural Masterplan for Sligo town centre.

Schønherr

Together with a team led by Schønherr Landscape we qualified to take part in a five-day design brainstorm and rethink workshop for the Göteborg River City competition. The material produced during the workshops was showcased in a major international exhibition held in the city in November 2011. 

Testbed

In Malmö and Stockholm we have had for many years a creative collaboration with urban flaneurs, artists and architects Testbed. With them, we famously came up with the proposal for the Storm Centre in Södra Smaland (Sweden).

Tom Fleming Associates

In the UK we have a long history of association with high-profile creative consultants Tom Fleming Associates.

White Architects

With the Malmö-based White team we worked on the award-winning new design for Southend's Pier. We completed a cultural analysis of this historic part of the city.
