Description
The latest episode of The Engineers Collective looks at the role placemaking plays in the design of infrastructure and how the National Infrastructure Commission’s Design Principles for National Infrastructure aim to improve the look and feel of our built environment.
The importance of creating a sense of place that brings joy to the user and minimises isolation is discussed by NCE editor Claire Smith and features editor Nadine Buddoo with guests DRM director
and National Infrastructure Commission design group chair Sadie Morgan and Unscene Architecture founding director and design group member Madeleine Kessler.
The group talk about the four key principles of climate, people, place and value before looking at placemaking in more detail and discuss projects that have successfully delivered just that.
Projects discussed include a park on top of a sewage works in Tokyo, through to a ski slope on a waste incinerator in Denmark, as well as the winner of the inaugural Design Principles Award at the British Construction Industry Awards (BCIA) last year, which was the Leeds Footbridge for the Climate Innovation District. According to Sadie, the BCIA winner demonstrates that even small project can achieve good design and dual purpose and sets a benchmark for other projects to aspire to.
The Engineers Collective is powered by Bentley Systems. Around the world, engineers and architects, constructors and owner-operators are using Bentley’s software solutions to accelerate project delivery and improve asset performance for transportation infrastructure that sustains our economy and our environment. Together, we are advancing infrastructure.
