A Building for Your Community explores how communities shape the spaces they inhabit. Hosted by architect and creative director Becca Thomas, this series examines community-led development from multiple perspectives - from architects pioneering participatory design, to social enterprises restructuring how practice works, to artists creating visibility for underrepresented groups, to community groups who became accidental property developers. Each episode asks: how do we build spaces that truly serve the people who use them?

Social Enterprise: When Mission Meets Money with Cristina Cerulli

When Studio Polpo set up as a social enterprise in the early 2010s, they had to explain to the RIBA what that even meant. Now they're initiating Community Land Trust projects and understanding development finance better than most developers. Cristina Cerulli discusses what it means to run an architecture practice legally required to benefit society rather than shareholders, why doing non-commercial work means being even more aware of money, and how playfulness creates sideways engagement in serious conversations about housing and community.
