PPP AND THE DESIGN LEGACY
PPP projects have had a chequered design history. Whereas some buildings have been hailed as exemplary, many have been criticised for being unimaginative, cheap or simply ‘bad’. Although the government’s investment into housing, schools and health centres is welcomed, it is essential that these long-term building’s don’t end up leaving us with a legacy of poor design. As Gordon Brown has said, “Design is not incidental to modern economies, but integral”.
PPP Bulletin and RIBA are pleased to announce this one-day conference, which will present the latest thinking on PPP and design – how to ensure your scheme deliver on sustainability, character and layout, and how to avoid falling down bad design pitfalls.
