About Us

PLΛCE ΛSSEMBLY is an Australian consultancy shaping the future of campuses, precincts and cities through urban strategy and design. We partner with complex organisations to define and walk ambitious plans.

A diverse crowd of people gathered for a panel discussion on design at MPavilion. The discussion is part of Shaping the Atlas of Belonging curated by Jocelyn Chiew, Tim Dow and Annelise Porter.

Working across Narrm/Melbourne and Gadigal/Sydney, our practice brings rare continuity of professional experience across place visions, design and management. Founded by Director Jocelyn Chiew FRAIA FRLA, PLΛCE ΛSSEMBLY draws on decades of experience shaping, delivering and stewarding design-excellent public space.
