HEIGHT MATTERS?Participative Exhibition:Tuesday 4 May – Sunday
13 June Proposals for tall buildings in Bristol are coming forward in greater numbers particularly in the City Centre’s main regeneration areas: Broadmead, Harbourside and Temple. The last significant era of building high (1950s-70s), has generally left a legacy of poor quality examples often unloved by their occupants and too dominant in the urban landscape. However, a new generation of tall buildings as a component of ‘compact city’ thinking is attracting new admirers. One thing is very clear - schemes for tall buildings prove to be controversial, polarising views on their relative merits. ‘Height Matters?’ is a series of events being jointly promoted by Bristol City Council and the Architecture Centre that seek to encourage the public to feed into the debate on the future of tall buildings in Bristol. Events are planned to coincide with Bristol City Council publishing its draft supplementary planning guidance on tall buildings.
