Bradford City Village’s Post

This year has seen initial public consultations inspire and evolve into the first CGIs and plans for #BradfordCityVillage. The CGIs reflected priorities from local people outlined through the consultation process and included more community amenities and services, a mix of housing types and more green spaces.

Architects and developers in the U.S. can learn more about design and affordable housing

The idea of municipal architects in the UK generally conjures a particular era in our minds. The 1960s and 70s were a time of bold public building programmes. But, has the heyday of municipal architecture passed? Holly Lewis looks back to the future for TheMJ on her newest role as Town Architect for London Borough of Hackney where she is supporting the council’s existing in-house design teams in the delivery of an exciting range of programmes and projects. How can we re-invent the town/city architect role for the current local authority climate in 2024? 👀 https://lnkd.in/etV6R5sg #townarchitect #purpose #designchampion #London #Stadsarkitekter

One of the challenges but also tremendous opportunities in affordable housing development and design is utilizing truly unique sites. I've been a fan of Lorcan O'Herlihy Architects [LOHA]'s work for a while. Their use of land in LA and southern California is really great. Check out this article about utilizing an out of place 19,000 square-foot triangular median. https://lnkd.in/gKzi2BE6

We need clearer policies on circular economy and Ecocel (Ireland) Could play bigger role in job creation and fossil free insulation in this space like many European Countries.

It's great to see #architects collaborating to advocate for simple planning changes that can make a measurable difference in improving the number of new homes delivered. I have a few more examples of this kind of advocacy that I'll share throughout the week. #housingcrisis #architecture #solutions
