We live an incredible 80% of our lives indoors. In houses, workplaces, schools and vehicles - spaces that become the backdrop to our time on this earth.

But behind the permanence of bricks and the mortar, the making of our interior worlds requires considered collaboration, innovation, and perhaps unexpectedly, facilitation! From the creative cement that binds projects, to the collective energy that sustains it and the trust that holds it all up: this is facilitation on a grand scale.

Step inside with myself and Ben Nott, architect, storyteller and polymath as he reveals how he creates the spaces in which we live our lives, how he brings people together, and builds for the future.

Find out about:

• The role of the architect-facilitator in multi-stakeholder, high-stakes built contexts
• How Ben fosters cross-disciplinary collaboration - from psychologists to marine biologists - to bring the best out of people
• How to foster sustained momentum through a balance of autonomy, ownership and structure
• Why time apart enriches time together, giving space for deeper, independent thought
• The role of imagery in aligning everyone around a shared vision
