	Places and Spaces Main Gallery Exhibition: 11 September – 7 October Great places can be large scale civic spaces, but they can also be something more intimate. A courtyard, a street, an alley or even a car park can lift the spirit and provide a positive experience to our urban existence. The Architecture Centre, the Bristol & Bath Branch of the Royal Institute of British Architects and Departure Lounge have come together to present an exhibit that explores the varied notions of ‘place’ and ‘space’ by using examples of recent, local projects that have created or redefined public spaces and places.
	Stokes Croft – Fulfilling the Potential Shop Gallery: 31 August – 7 October
	A Showcase of Sustainable Design The Soil Association National Centre Panel display: 31 August – 7 October Talk: Saturday, September 1, 3pm. £3, Free to Organic Food Festival ticket holders
	Designing Shared Streets Talk: Thursday, September 20, 18.00, £ 5
	People and Places – Working with the community for better public spaces Panel discussion: Thursday, September 27, 18.00, £ 5

Question for debate:
'Money for nothing but your conscience is free’: High rise living getting you down!

Efficient planning and design is now about ever increasing densities and the layering of uses within the townscape. This has seen a renaissance of the apartment or flat within our urban areas but is this creating high quality sustainable neighbourhoods? In some cases they are high priced, low specification living solutions which do not respond to the family ideal. Are they right in every circumstance and location ranging from the city core to the suburb? With resources increasingly tight in land and materials, buildings are a more permanent reminder of today’s fashion. Is the building industry as fickle as the fashion industry – will apartments be ‘old hat’ in ten years like fondue parties and shoulder pads?

Building for Life Awards
