House Party - social event and discussion

Has your home been good to you, as you've got older?

February 9 2006
New forms for new neighbourhoods - Talk, seminar
5.30pm, Sunderland Museum and Winter Gardens

Proctor Matthews Architects have been bringing the highest quality design to regeneration projects across the UK since 1998. Steve Proctor will talk about the new house-types they have developed for the Oldham Rochdale Housing Market Renewal Area as well as their work at New Hall, Harlow, which achieved the Building For Life Gold Standard in 2003.
Drinks will be served following the talk.
And also...
Designs on Sunniside - Exhibition
Newcastle University students will present their designs for new homes in Sunniside, Sunderland, developed in partnership with Sunderland Housing Group.

March 1 2006
Make the most of what you've got - Talk, seminar
5.30pm, Caedmon Hall - Gateshead Library

Developers Urban Splash will talk about their current projects including the controversial Park Hill estate in Sheffield and the remodelling of terraces in Salford. Whilst Britain experiences the biggest expansion of the national housing stock since the post-war era, is the clearance of failing housing always the answer or can the vision of developers like Urban Splash breath new life into what we've already got?
