PR: Architecture and Design Scotland - 09 Feb 2007
A+DS to support Scotland’s 6 Pathfinder Urban Regeneration Companies.
Architecture and Design Scotland (A+DS) has teamed up with the Scottish
Executive
Development Department to drive forward the design agenda with the six
(6) Pathfinder Urban Regeneration Companies (URCs).
The three year Framework Agreement will allow a dedicated programme of
work under the People and Place Regeneration Policy Statement, thereby
raising the level of ambition and design quality throughout the URC areas.
Through A+DS’s Enabling Programme, dedicated, hands-on assistance
to the URCs and their partners will be provided. Up to 200 days of assistance
will be provided by a team of built environment experts from a variety
of professions and fields. Assistance and guidance will be provided on:
- Strategic design decisions, including: policy preparation, engaging
with development
partners, and procuring supporting design services, and
- Project design decisions, including: client management of design processes,
masterplanning and site development briefs, and the selection and management
of design teams engaged in strategic or site specific projects.
Raymond Young – Chair of Architecture and Design Scotland –
said:
“A+DS is committed to ensuring that regeneration activities seek
to deliver high quality built environments that meet community aspirations
and provide a lasting legacy for the achievement of broad scale environmental,
economic and social objectives. We are delighted to work with the Development
Department in supporting the URCs and their partners in delivering this
important work. It will allow us to work collaboratively at various levels
from the establishment of strategic direction through to site development
decisions.”
Deputy Communities Minister Des McNulty said:
“Good design is an essential part of building sustainable communities,
creating good quality environments in which people want to live. This
project is about using the best available expertise and skills through
Architecture and Design Scotland to support our six urban regeneration
companies by providing the advice and support that can help the Urban
Regeneration Companies (URCs) deliver design quality locally."
