South Coast Design Forum

The SCDF is a non-profit organisation run for and by designers and creatives from all disciplines.

What is the SCDF?

Its aims are simple, but potentially far reaching:

To provide support, awareness and network channels for the South Coast as an area rich in designers, architects and creatives of all kinds.
To generate an authoritative and respected body whose skills are recognised and called upon by local authorities and business.
To provide strong links with education establishments to further raise standards and help create jobs for graduates and students.
To highlight these skills through the running of competitions and exhibitions.
To generally raise the awareness and expectations of the South Coast, to turn it about to face the future, whilst acknowledging the historical context of time and place.
To find local and regional solutions to improving the built environment, to incorporate new housing and businesses in a sustainable manner.
To look at the wider implications of climate change and energy decline, to seek solutions that provide viable and sustainable methods of working and living.
