Dallas-Pierce-Quintero

Dallas-Pierce-Quintero (DPQ) are an award winning architecture, art and placemaking studio.

They design, commission and deliver projects, both permanent and temporary, producing site-specific design, strategies and artworks. "At the start of every project we immerse ourselves in the context, getting to know the place, people and aspirations. We put people at the heart of our projects by engaging with those involved to shape creative outcomes that resonate and stand the test of time." DPQ undertook the first stage of the public art project for Fairfields and Whitehouse, developing and writing the Public Art Plan, they have now been invited back to take forward the 'Furniture' commission that they proposed within the plan.

In April 2023, DPQ visited Fairfields and Whitehouse to look for spaces where an artwork could be designed to connect people with the landscape around them. This is just the start of the creative process and over the summer they will be offering a series of activities for everyone to be involved in, these will explore ideas and help inform the design of the artworks.
