Evaluating Good Design Conference an Historic Environment Champions network event

2008

‘Good design is both a creative process and an outcome. It is about more than iconic, big budget projects in the same way that sustainability is about more than the mechanics of carbon reduction’.

With the award winning Ivor Crewe Lecture Hall as its starting point, this conference examined the communication and negotiation between client, architect, planner and elected members which enables good design to be successfully developed and championed through to its built form. Aimed at Local Authority officers, Planning Committee members, Architects and Estates Managers.

Funded by CABE, Inspire East and English Heritage. There was the opportunity to tour the award winning Ivor Crewe Lecture Hall.
