The work of the Greater Cambridge Shared Planning Service design review panel grows from strength to strength. And is enabling the service to create great places to live, work, study and play. #planningisgreat #planningforthefuture #planningwithcommunities
Thank you to Greater Cambridge Shared Planning Service Design Review Panel Members Maggie Baddeley (Chair), Chris Jones, David Knight, Helen Goodwin PhD, Paul Bourgeois and vanessa ross for contributing your expertise in architecture, landscape design, community development, urban design, transport and sustainability at site visits and the panel meeting to review two schemes on Thursday 14th December 2023. The two schemes reviewed included a residential proposal in Cambridge and an extension and conversion of the existing R&D building proposal at a science park in the Greater Cambridge region, supporting employment opportunities and economic growth. The panel draws from 40 knowledgeable and experienced panelists who provide independent advice and challenge across four areas: Character, Community, Connectivity, Climate Proofing which make up the cornerstones of the #CambridgshireQualityCharterforGrowth. They act as a critical friend, to provide impartial expert advice to applicants on design issues in new development schemes and proposals. The desired outcome being high quality design that sits well and is pleasing to our communities when built out. Looking forward to seeing the next design stage of these 2 schemes.

Our colleague Tom Wheldon joined Yorkshire Business Insider Media magazine last week - as well as Turner & Townsend and others peers from the private and public sectors - as they gathered to discuss ideas for future development in Yorkshire and The Humber. Entitled Forward Thinking, the roundtable assessed where the property sector is heading in the year ahead, navigating topics such as the most resilient asset classes, occupier demand, the planning system, design trends and crucially net zero. You can read a write-up of the event in the next issue of Insider (which we’ll share with you soon).

Adaptive reuse, the process of repurposing old buildings for new uses, is a cornerstone of sustainable urban development, marrying the past with the present in a functional, vibrant manner. This approach is particularly relevant in New York City, where historic structures dot the landscape amidst skyscrapers and bustling streets. For architects, property managers, real estate managers, and store/facilities developers, adaptive reuse presents a unique set of challenges and opportunities, especially within the commercial architecture sector of NYC. #AdaptiveReuse #Highline #NYC #architecture

🏛️✨ Exciting insights from the new book about Columbus, Indiana, a tiny Midwestern town that has become a beacon of modern architecture! 📖 In a place where many might overlook the importance of design when upgrading infrastructure, Columbus prioritizes architectural excellence. When it came time to enhance the air traffic control tower at the regional airport, they turned to renowned architect Marlon Blackwell, showcasing the town's commitment to innovative design. Columbus's evolution into an architectural hub reflects its unique vision and dedication to aesthetics, proving that even the smallest communities can make significant contributions to the world of design. This story is a testament to how thoughtful architecture can transform not just a town, but the way we experience our built environment. For those in the fields of architecture, urban planning, or design, this book offers a compelling look at how a shared vision can elevate a community.

Today we officially launched an international pattern book design competition allowing architects and architecture students from around the world to design the future face of Sydney and NSW while speeding up the delivery of new homes. Housing remains the single biggest cost of living pressure for people across NSW and this competition will mean the winning designs used by developers will have access to an accelerated approval pathway. The accelerated pathway will allow builders to have homes approved and built faster, providing homes to those who need them sooner. Our planning reforms to low and mid rise housing are fundamental to the Pattern Book competition and will provide diversity of housing for our diverse community. https://ow.ly/Otbo50SrpkQ

The architectural landscape is witnessing a paradigm shift as the Royal Institute of British Architects (RIBA) announces the shortlist for the 2024 Stirling Prize. This prestigious accolade highlights the best of British architecture, with an emphasis on projects that are "purposeful yet unassuming." The diversity of this year's shortlist underscores a significant trend: the integration of regeneration and restoration into architectural practices. Among the notable projects are the transformative Phase 2 of the Park Hill estate regeneration in Sheffield by Mikhail Riches, which retains its original character while modernizing energy efficiency. Similarly, Chowdry Walk in Hackney sets a new standard for social housing, showcasing an innovative design that prioritizes community integration. Each entry on this shortlist not only reflects technical ingenuity but also a commitment to enhancing the fabric of urban life. RIBA President Muyiwa Oki eloquently articulated the essence of these projects, stating they demonstrate how architecture can elevate everyday life through thoughtful engagement with the existing built environment. This year’s shortlist reaffirms the essential role architects play in addressing societal challenges through progressive and sustainable design solutions. As we move forward, it is imperative that we, as industry leaders, continue to champion such exemplary work, fostering a culture of innovation and responsibility within the AEC sector. I encourage all professionals in our field to engage with this discussion. Which of these shortlisted projects resonates with you the most?
