Building in Context
English Heritage and CABE are asked to advise on many development proposals in historic areas. We have commissioned the following report to show the diversity of interesting recent projects, and to promote the lessons that can be learned from them. The buildings in our report are firmly of today, yet they draw their inspiration from what surrounds them and in that sense they are rooted in the past. The fifteen case studies have been chosen to illustrate a number of different themes and aspects of development:
- A wide range of different uses
- A wide range of locations
- Different architectural approaches
- Different ways by which success was achieved
We hope that the report will be of interest to planning officers and their committees, as well as to architects and their clients.
