Neighbourhoods and Environment Scrutiny Committee Information about the Committee Scrutiny Committees represent the interests of local people about important issues that affect them. They look at how the decisions, policies and services of the Council and other key public agencies impact on the city and its residents. Scrutiny Committees do not take decisions but can make recommendations to decision- makers about how they are delivering the Manchester Strategy, an agreed vision for a better Manchester that is shared by public agencies across the city. The Neighbourhoods and Environment Scrutiny Committee has responsibility for looking at how the Council and its partners create neighbourhoods that meet the aspirations of Manchester’s citizens. The Council wants to consult people as fully as possible before making decisions that affect them. Members of the public do not have a right to speak at meetings but may do so if invited by the Chair. If you have a special interest in an item on the agenda and want to speak, tell the Committee Officer, who will pass on your request to the Chair. Groups of people will usually be asked to nominate a spokesperson. The Council wants its meetings to be as open as possible but occasionally there will be some confidential business. Brief reasons for confidentiality will be shown on the agenda sheet. The Council welcomes the filming, recording, public broadcast and use of social media to report on the Committee’s meetings by members of the public. Agenda, reports and minutes of all Council Committees can be found on the Council’s website www.manchester.gov.uk Smoking is not allowed in Council buildings.

The report summarised Officer proposals for how the Council could deliver a balanced budget for 2019/20. In conjunction to the above, the Committee also received and considered the Neighbourhoods Directorate Business Plans and Strategic Development Business Plans for 2019/20, which set out in broad terms the directorate’s key priorities, key activities and revenue and capital strategy for 2019/20, which was a refresh of the directorate’s Business Plans for 2018/20 in the context of current resources, challenges and opportunities. Taken together, the report and the directorate Business Plan illustrated how the directorate would work together and with partners to deliver Our Plan and progress towards the vision set out in the Our Manchester Strategy.

  • Seasonal Adaptation, Aesthetic, Periodic Change, Fluctuating Form, Formal Constraints
    Architecture Research 2017, 7(4): 146-158 DOI: 10.5923/j.arch.20170704.03 On the Aesthetics of Seasonally Adaptive Buildings – A Morphological Approach towards Climate Responsive Architecture Agnes Nyilas*, Yoshihito Kurazumi Department of Human Environmental Design, Sugiyama Jogakuen University, Nagoya, Japan Abstract The aesthetics of seasonally adaptive buildings is discussed in this paper, based on the recognition that there is a contemporary trend to reconsider the relation between climate and architectural form. In regions with hot-humid summer and cold-dry winter, however, the seasonal climate differences require different considerations for the same building depending on season. By such reason, the concept of seasonal adaptation is at the focus of interest in climate responsive architectural design. Several examples of seasonally adaptive buildings are analysed here to make clear the relation between their concepts and the architectural forms. Through the paper, author assumes that the general concept of seasonal adaptation might not require any concrete form, but it has the abstract image of form as periodically changing entity, forecasting a new aesthetics of periodical change. On the other hand, conclusion suggests that the reconsideration of the climate factor would certainly put constraints on the architectural form in a positive sense: promoting architects to reconsider energy efficiency, indoor comfort and health issues in relation to form.
