Following on from a previous post this week, the accompanying event (hosted by The Architecture Centre & Arnolfini) is now fully booked. I am amongst those who unfortunately were unable to get a ticket to what will be an incredible debate around an amazing subject. Speakers include the new Bristol Mayor George Ferguson, world renowned European architects Jan Gehl (Copenhagen) and David Mackay (Barcelona), as well as award winning ethical developed Chris Brown from Igloo.
The panel discussion is set to revolve around how Redcliffe Way could potentially be developed into a stand-out piece of new civic space, and will bring together leading urbanists to explore what Bristol can learn from other places, how the history of the city will forge the identity of the new space, and a wider exploration of regeneration and city development.
As I have said the event is now unfortunately fully booked, so if like myself you have been unable to book a place it is unlikely you will be able to get involved. There is however a silver lining! In looking at future events put on by the Architecture Centre I stumbled across a range of talks and events which have been recorded by the organisation and put on the internet for free viewing. The Architecture Centre is a leading regional expert which seeks to champion the creation of better quality neighbourhoods, foster greater public understanding of architecture, and be a positive force in the region's development. The Centre's programme (and recorded lectures and events) is very progressive looking at a variety of issues including the healthy city agenda, sustainability, and community involvement.
Recorded lectures are available here.
