RIBA AWARD WINNING HOMES the Need to Deliver More Housing Is an Issue That Connects People from All Walks of Life D E S I G N M AT T E R S RIBA AWARD WINNING HOMES The need to deliver more housing is an issue that connects people from all walks of life. Its importance is demonstrated by politicians increasingly outbidding each other over the number of homes they can build in an effort to convince voters that they can achieve the scale of house building required to meet current need. While we can all get behind a target of 300,000 new homes a year, it’s equally important to consider the quality of what we are building. Sacrificing quality in order to increase housing numbers is an unsustainable solution that will create long term problems that need addressing further down the line. 20 Good design is central to delivering sustainable homes and communities that will last into the future. The projects highlighted here are great examples of what is possible 1 if you invest the time to understand the relationship between design and the local area. We hope that this 21 collection can inspire discussions across England about 10 how to improve design standards. 22 9 Ben Derbyshire RIBA President 7 11 6 19 16 12 8 18 13 14 2 15 17 3 5 4 2 DESIGN MATTERS DESIGN MATTERS 3 While calling for good design is easy enough, describing what this looks like is more complex. The recent report published by the RIBA, Ten Characteristics of Places where People want to Live, identified the necessary environment and processes that, if followed, can deliver high quality, sustainable neighbourhoods, centred on successful examples of mixed communities. This document follows on from that work by narrowing the focus to housing, showcasing examples of excellent standards of design that can be replicated across the country. Each development provides an innovative approach to addressing housing need in the context of its locality. This is crucial to ensuring that we deliver homes that genuinely meet local need and are acceptable to the local communities that they will RIBA YORKSHIRE inevitably impact on.

  • Conservation Management Plan for the National Theatre Haworth Tompkins
    Conservation Management Plan For The National Theatre Final Draft December 2008 Haworth Tompkins Conservation Management Plan for the National Theatre Final Draft - December 2008 Haworth Tompkins Ltd 19-20 Great Sutton Street London EC1V 0DR Front Cover: Haworth Tompkins Ltd 2008 Theatre Square entrance, winter - HTL 2008 Foreword When, in December 2007, Time Out magazine celebrated the National Theatre as one of the seven wonders of London, a significant moment in the rising popularity of the building had occurred. Over the decades since its opening in 1976, Denys Lasdun’s building, listed Grade II* in 1994. has come to be seen as a London landmark, and a favourite of theatre-goers. The building has served the NT company well. The innovations of its founders and architect – the ampleness of the foyers, the idea that theatre doesn’t start or finish with the rise and fall of the curtain – have been triumphantly borne out. With its Southbank neighbours to the west of Waterloo Bridge, the NT was an early inhabitant of an area that, thirty years later, has become one of the world’s major cultural quarters. The river walk from the Eye to the Design Museum now teems with life - and, as they pass the National, we do our best to encourage them in. The Travelex £10 seasons and now Sunday opening bear out the theatre’s 1976 slogan, “The New National Theatre is Yours”. Greatly helped by the Arts Council, the NT has looked after the building, with a major refurbishment in the nineties, and a yearly spend of some £2million on fabric, infrastructure and equipment.

  • A Concept Made Concrete
    A CONCEPT MADE CONCRETE CONSERVING A BRUTALIST ICON THROUGH ARCHITECTURAL INTERVENTION An explanatory document by Taylor Ryan Bell "In the last resort what characterises the New Brutalism ... is precisely its brutality, its je-m'en-foutisme, its bloody-mindedness." - Reyner Banham 1 ABSTRACT This project aims to prove, through relevant research, that Brutalist buildings such as Robin Hood Gardens are not only important parts of recent history but are also adaptable to modern standards and new functions. It will also prove that architectural intervention, however minimal, is a powerful tool when dealing with aged building stock. Retaining historic buildings contributes to the sociocultural wellbeing of a nation by providing scholars, students and laymen the opportunity to view and study a building that may otherwise be destroyed. Adaptation of aged buildings will help to create cities with a rich tapestry of architectural history, contrasting the old and the new. Understanding the history of the Brutalist movement and its contribution to architectural development in Europe, the Americas, and New Zealand, is paramount when considering this research document. It will be made clear as to why Robin Hood Gardens is an ideal case study. Due to its design and current predicament, Robin Hood Gardens can be seen as a microcosm of the failure of Brutalist ideology - and a failure of twenty-first century society to identify and protect its architectural treasures. Although the topic of adaptive reuse has been covered many times before, the solution proposed for Robin Hood Gardens in this document is entirely unique. The findings of this study will help to inform (or reform) the values of individuals involved in the decision- making process of architectural conservation.
