Place makers

 

Wednesday 24th January 2007

Venue: St Thomas the Martyr Church, the Haymarket

Newcastle upon Tyne

 

Time: 6-8pm (Drinks following)

FREE, booking essential

 

It’s a truism that ‘people make places’, but more often than not the people who make places - designers, planners, transport engineers, developers – do so with little reference to the people who are going to use the place.

 

Making good places is also about knowing what is good about the place already, having imagination and creativity about what could go on there, and what that place could be like. Making good places is therefore about blending together a wide variety of skills and points of views towards that common vision.

 

The event will start with a presentation by Neil Bennett from Terry Farrell and Partners. Drawing on from his experience, he will talk about his approach to ‘place making’ and the various stakeholders involved in the process. His presentation will conclude with an outline proposal by Sir Terry Farrell for the St Thomas area or "cultural quarter" of Newcastle (previously advertised as a presentation by Sir Terry Farrell who is unable to take part for health reasons).

 

The Rt. Revd. John Martin Wharton will discuss the position of St Thomas the Martyr Church in the city and its importance in relation to people and the environment in which it sits. The speakers will be joined on the panel by representatives from Newcastle and Northumbria universities, Newcastle City Council and Nexus (to be confirmed) in the second part of the evening for an open discussion with the audience.

 

The event will be chaired by Roy Ashton, Board member of Northern Architecture and previously the Director of Development for Newcastle City Council.

If you'd like to find out more about housing proposals in the Valley, try the Ouseburn Trust at the Ouseburn Resource Centre at 53 Lime Street as a first port of call.

 

We carry the plans for developments currently going through the planning permission process, and often organise drop-in consultation days where you can talk to developers and architects. Most recently we ran a drop-in day about proposals for apartments on Hume Street, an application which has since been refused. Come and see the architect's boards for yourself!

 

We are also developers ourselves, and are currently working up proposals for 47 - 49 Lime Street and the vacant lot adjacent to it. Our designs so far include offices, work space, and live-work units with high environmental specifications. Come in to find out more!
