DUNDEE: Design Skills Symposium

31 Aug - 1 Sep

Architecture and Design Scotland event.

Location: West Park Dundee

Climate change is one of the most significant challenges of our time. Scotland has set out ambitious targets to meet this challenge through the Climate Change Act. The planning reform agenda couples this aim with, ‘the creation of places where people want to be.’ Planning for places in a low carbon future is a key issue for planners, developers, designers and citizens. The Design Skills Symposium is a two day non-residential training event that seeks to provide an opportunity to use design skills to meet this challenge.

Architecture and Design Scotland have developed this event with Improvement Services, Architecture and Place Division of the Scottish Government and the Scottish Centre for Regeneration. It will take place on Aug 31 and Sep 01 at West Park in Dudee. The purpose of the symposium is, in a hands on way, help people with the design skills needed to deliver better places. The event will commence with a research paper by University of Glasgow which looks at the factors which enable the delivery of better places . This draws on case studies across the UK and Europe. The event then shifts to developing a placemaking brief. This will focus on streets and integrated movement networks as the best spatial framework for delivering better places. Dedicated seminars and workshops will focus around the current policy, especially Designing Streets, and demonstrate its ambitions and applications.

The second day starts with a masterclass by an international expert: we have secured Klas Tham who designed B001 in Malmo, Sweden. This will be followed by a day long, hands on design workshop where people take the brief from day 1 and develop this into a design concept for 3 contexts in Dundee: growth, regeneration and working with the historical core of the city. The session finishes with a Design Review to share lessons learned. The outputs will be captured and shared on a dedicated website.
