We’re excited to announce a new partnership with the Design Commission for Wales as we expand our Associate Programme beyond England. In the latest issue of Public Notice, our CEO, Pooja Agrawal, sat down with Carole-Anne Davies, Chief Executive of the Design Commission for Wales, to discuss what it means to deliver excellence in the everyday and how both our organisations are working with the public sector to make that ambition a reality. The Design Commission for Wales champions creative, holistic approaches to shaping the built environment, at every scale and across all sectors. We share a commitment to improving people's day-to-day experiences, and we're thrilled to work together to bring new capacity and expertise to local authorities in Wales through our Associate Programme and Jobs Board. Carole-Anne Davies, said: "Public Practice shares the Design Commission’s view that local government's role is crucial in facilitating, creating and managing everyday places that work for everyone and that, to achieve this, it must be well-resourced with diverse placemaking skills. We are committed to working with Public Practice to build further design and placemaking expertise in public authorities in Wales, and believe this collaborative approach will support our common aims." If you’re a local authority in Wales and want to learn how our recruitment services can support your team, head to: https://lnkd.in/eM5PFjh4 #Placemaking #LocalGovernment #BuiltEnvironment #PublicPractice #DesignCommissionforWales

Loneliness is on the rise - but how we design our neighbourhoods can change this. In a new article for the Architects’ Journal, our residential sector lead Greg Moss argues that many of the design approaches for child-friendly placemaking are crucial to tackling the loneliness epidemic in the UK. And these approaches aren't just nice-to-have, they're key to improving the nation's health and creating sustainable, desirable places to live. From the #LundQuarter on the historic #CarpentersEstate to #MarmaladeLane by Mole Architects in Cambridge, the article explores projects and approaches that can help us to design out loneliness.

In a recent article with the RIBA Journal, Marth Tsigkari, Senior Partner and Head of Applied R+D at Foster + Partners, discusses how architects should be planning for an AI-charged future: “There are an inordinate amount of things where AI and ML (machine learning) will reinvent the industry, or can help us. There needs to be very careful planning about how these things are used to augment rather than replace our creativity… Rethink [your] business model beyond traditional ways we’ve been contracting architecture – and think across the board, not just in terms of design but construction and operation.” 📖 Read the full article: https://lnkd.in/eVY5_stR #Architecture #AI #MachineLearning #ArtificialIntelligence #Design #Engineering #Construction
