Better Bankside ebrief, JULY 2005 |
Bankside design brains ponder future 'look and feel' of area
When an area boasts such a wealth of businesses in architecture and urban/rural policy, why not ask for their views on how their chosen home should look?' In June, eight people from seven Better Bankside member companies met to help the staff team set priorities for environmental improvements, and to put together a Ôlong listÕ of possible enhancement projects. Allies & Morrison Ð which hosted the meeting Ð also suggested that it would be useful to begin to plot out the impact of property development on proposed improvements in the coming years. Discussion at the first meeting also covered public art and the need to introduce more greening, including street trees. The companies involved were Allies & Morrison Association of London Government Council for the Protection of Rural England John Robertson Architects Spacecraft Architects Space Syntax Waterman Group A further meeting will happen soon. If you would like to attend, please contact Chris Bateman on 020 7928 3998, email cb@betterbankside.co.uk. As well as housing an incredible number of architects and other building specialists, Bankside will be the future home of the Architecture Foundation, the design of whose new building on Southwark Street Ð by Zaha Hadid Ð is illustrated here.
