Upcoming Events
Design Midlands, as part of the Design Network, is developing Vision Training for Place Making Strategies working with the Planning Advisory Service (PAS). We will share our learning on this from the perspective of past visions such as the pioneering work of Ebenezer Howard’s Garden City, Jane Jacobs and Le Corbusier. Is there anything new we can add to these visions which have shaped our ideas on place making and urban design for the last 100 years and are still powerful ideas.
We will invite members from the new town task force to talk about their work and the team from Wychavon who are planning 11,000 new homes in Worcestershire Parkway area. The talk will be chaired by Birmingham School of Architecture
Cities as Living Systems. We should place ecology as the foundation of design, not as a layer or mitigation strategy if we are to help cool the planet. How do we design with ecology as the template, can we shift to an ecological mindset in designing cities?
Key voices in regenerative design will discuss their work and how we can shift our thinking on place making to meet the needs of modern cities in a time of climate emergency.
