Parks Finally Getting The Space They Deserve
The Civic Trust welcomes the report published this week by ODPM: Housing, Planning, Local Government and the Regions Committee of their report on Living Places: Cleaner, Safer, Greener.
High quality materials and sensitive contemporary design have created an urban complex of varied form that has revitalised this part of the city." The project consists of two buildings and the public spaces around them.
Wildwalk, the first of the buildings, is a wildlife multi-media centre, while the second, Explore, is described as 'the first in a new generation of science centres.' The Awards Ceremony will use the venue to its maximum capabilities.
It will include the IMAX Cinema, Wildwalk and Explore.
A study visit around Bristol before the event, and a conference on the 25 March are also planned.
This will be the second year that the Civic Trust Awards have been presented at non-London venues.
It follows the hugely successful event held in April 2003 at the Imperial War Museum North in Salford Quays, when Daniel Libeskind was guest of honour.
Civic Trust Awards manager Eleanor Murkett said: "It is the intention of the Civic Trust to use Award-winning sites for the presentation event wherever possible.
This is a positive way for the Trust to demonstrate the quality of its award-winning projects as well as create an opportunity for guests and the media to appreciate the contribution which buildings make to local communities and the environment.
"As with Salford Quays, we are organising a study visit around Bristol on the afternoon of the event and we will be holding a conference on regeneration and communities on the following day." The closing date for entries for the 2004 Awards is 19 September 2003.
