What can be done about the uninspiring designs of new UK homes?  What do you think when you drive past a new-build housing estate? Are you admiring the iconic designs of the new abodes or, more likely, are you thinking about how bland it all looks? https://lnkd.in/eMGSVVNM #architecture #buildingdesign #structuralengineering

Architects have long lamented the subjectivity of local planning processes. Many architects share their frustration with the perceived lack of design education within council planning committees and the lack of design directives on what would be accepted or not. This is where the NSW government and the Government Architect NSW saw room for innovation, introducing a publicly accessible interactive map that highlights their view of well-designed low—and mid-rise homes. The map includes more than 100 designs of housing across Sydney and surrounding areas, including dual-occupancies, townhouses, terraces, manor houses, and smaller apartment buildings. Minister for Planning and Public Spaces Paul Scully notes that the interactive map's important message is that the community should understand that “Heritage and new homes can coexist. We want to make sure the future homes and apartments across NSW are made for our climate, allow for natural light, and look to include community spaces.” Ultimately, this map will also be used by the government to outline its proposed planning reforms and objectives, an accessible and visual medium to engage the public and help them understand the role of planning in shaping our developing city.
