Design action
Design action focuses on the achievement of design excellence in the South West region, encouraging sustainable approaches to architecture and offering support to local authorities, client bodies and built environment professionals.
We work throughout the South West region, often in collaboration with the Architecture Centre for Devon and Cornwall and Creating Excellence offering conferences, seminars, lectures, training and CPD opportunities, visits and study tours, and links to sources of information and guidance.
We work in partnership with regional agencies and professional institutions in the region such as the RIBA and the RTPI, and nationally with CABE.
The Architecture Centre is part of Design South West, an alliance of organisations, who promote design quality in the built environment. Coordinated by Creating Excellence following the publication of ‘Designing our Environment - towards a better built environment for the South West’, they support the implementation of a series of actions to address key priorities for design in the region. Regional design review and design enabling are two of mechanisms which are helping to achieve great design.
