Although the use of render is not ideal in terms of maintenance, it is a positive compromise, when there is little flexibility in adapting standard house types. However, the type of blue used is not within the colour palette of nearby bricks and for that reason this particular building clashes within the landscape (see Palette & Textures). https://www.dqfnottingham.org.uk/wdg-what-people-said daily 0.75 2020-07-01 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c800b86b914495c1c4da070/1593619947590-49CO6COOQ1IGH8ONO1Q6/big+lunch.jpg WDG What people said - What people said These are the highlights of the NGFP Good Living Citizens' Survey which achieved more than 300 responses. https://www.dqfnottingham.org.uk/sdg-good-connections daily 0.75 2020-07-16 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c800b86b914495c1c4da070/1593696802249-I7S9BR7OOFMVSA5O41WH/4.4+dispersed+and+car-dependent.png SDG Good Connections Typical cul-de-sac design (above) providing introverted layouts which fail to integrate, and a well connected response (below) that integrates all the zones and forms a connected city (by Phil Jones Associates). https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c800b86b914495c1c4da070/1593696846549-HIJLAUJPW02UV828SAJC/4.1+Integrating+new+developments+into+the+existing+urban+fabric.png SDG Good Connections These diagrams show the series of considerations during the design process of a well connected development (by Phil Jones Associates). https://www.dqfnottingham.org.uk/street-types daily 0.75 2020-07-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c800b86b914495c1c4da070/1593703091947-QGKERY233E8S5BQ6REKR/Avenue%252B-%252BCross%252BSection%252B-%252B16.05.19-01.jpg STREET TYPES An Avenue is a tree-lined street that connects the neighbourhood with the main roads.

All residential, commercial and retail activities took place together in the medieval period. The later growth of the town was restricted by the tight boundary of the town wall. Therefore, buildings have been repurposed and reused in Nottingham over time as uses have changed reflecting this outwards growth restriction. This has resulted in the historic buildings we see today which have been shaped by many centuries of change. In the 19th century the western part of the city centre around Old Market Square became the retail heart of the city whereas to the east the character was defined the needs of the Lace Industry in the Lace Market of large warehouses built in the wealthy residential part of the city. Those properties in the western part of the centre that were not originally built with ground-floor retail have been modified as residential use has declined in the centre and retail has increased. The current pattern is of ground floor retail with large amounts of glazing and a general domestic character on the upper floors with a smaller ratio of glazing to walls. Historical trends have resulted in a compact, medium density city with a mix of narrow, elongated facades. Upper floors were used for accommodation and administration, and façades incorporated smaller windows in the upper floors, following classical architectural orders. This can also be seen in the more modern infill of ‘Taco Bell’, which relates well to the historic pattern although the material used is not so successful in terms of texture. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c800b86b914495c1c4da070/1593676368626-QYFWTPDH6CNWNZF6ZKNQ/Split+massing+1.JPG HDG Geometry Historic buildings in Nottingham are often separated by narrow passages and alleyways. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c800b86b914495c1c4da070/1593676402603-2WDRI1W2X9MGHTK05ZG5/Split+massing+2.JPG HDG Geometry This modern building has a façade design strategy that responds to the layout and creates the appearance of smaller volumes in keeping with the size and proportions of the setting.

In classical architecture, the dimensions of all the component parts of a façade and the separation between components, follow a mathematical rule. Good contemporary design also applies these principles. Historic buildings were designed using imperial measurements whilst contemporary architecture tends to use the metric system. Good designers emphasise the relative hierarchy of some of the components over others, for example, main entrances stand out and have more intricate detail or interest. Most historic buildings in Nottingham have an enhanced ground floor, which was often the retail space. The floors above also have relative hierarchy, mainly given by the size of openings and their separation, and the application of detail. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c800b86b914495c1c4da070/1593022238761-QYO16IDWZAGF8RVWQTDJ/pod3.jpg HDG Proportions https://www.dqfnottingham.org.uk/hdg-palette-textures-copy daily 0.75 2023-01-09 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c800b86b914495c1c4da070/1593158457596-9OU4KT3MUZK6TSA2M5EC/Palette+3+smaller.jpg HDG Palette & Textures https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c800b86b914495c1c4da070/1593023531576-5Q8SDXYPVOPB7X64Q8KR/Palette%2B4.jpg HDG Palette & Textures The images above illustrate two site palettes in Nottingham.

This is because the proportions and position of the windows in combination create a very regular façade texture, which does not follow Nottingham’s norm. Although openings have a rhythm and some hierarchy, the depth of the reveals and transoms do not work. https://www.dqfnottingham.org.uk/hdg-technical-quality-1 daily 0.75 2020-07-16 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c800b86b914495c1c4da070/1593524110219-KARAMBBKPRR6BJPGZH52/Comm+main.jpg HDG Communities Nottingham aspires to work alongside communities and the general public to create inclusive, inviting places that work for all.

It’s a great place in Bobbersmill where anyone can go to find out more about growing food in a changing climate. On the garden they have implemented the practice of Hügelkultur which translates to mound garden in English: the practice of growing plants (edible in Windmill Garden’s case) on piles of rotting wood as a form of raised bed gardening and composting in situ. When used as a method of disposing large volumes of wood debris and waste-wood this method accomplishes carbon sequestration. This site is a space for experimental food growing using low carbon techniques.

Over two decades later, Eli has expanded his urban garden across two rooftops and 22,000 square feet, utilizing three growing mechanisms to produce tomatoes, herbs, micro-greens, sunflowers and more. His most recent experiment involves vertical gardens and a long-time favourite strawberry variety, Mara des Bois.

All residential, commercial and retail activities took place together in the medieval period. The later growth of the town was restricted by the tight boundary of the town wall. Therefore, buildings have been repurposed and reused in Nottingham over time as uses have changed reflecting this outwards growth restriction. This has resulted in the historic buildings we see today which have been shaped by many centuries of change. In the 19th century the western part of the city centre around Old Market Square became the retail heart of the city whereas to the east the character was defined the needs of the Lace Industry in the Lace Market of large warehouses built in the wealthy residential part of the city. Those properties in the western part of the centre that were not originally built with ground-floor retail have been modified as residential use has declined in the centre and retail has increased. The current pattern is of ground floor retail with large amounts of glazing and a general domestic character on the upper floors with a smaller ratio of glazing to walls. Historical trends have resulted in a compact, medium density city with a mix of narrow, elongated facades. Upper floors were used for accommodation and administration, and façades incorporated smaller windows in the upper floors, following classical architectural orders. This can also be seen in the more modern infill of ‘Taco Bell’, which relates well to the historic pattern although the material used is not so successful in terms of texture. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c800b86b914495c1c4da070/1593022864398-FTIA97E8GVRNTKND7YZP/Split+massing+1.JPG FDG Mass Treatment Historic buildings in Nottingham are often separated by narrow passages and alleyways. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c800b86b914495c1c4da070/1593022999461-GZXCEB3OAJ9338X73S7N/Split+massing+2.JPG FDG Mass Treatment This modern building has a façade design strategy that responds to the layout and creates the appearance of smaller volumes in keeping with the size and proportions of the setting.

It passed the nation’s first mandatory composting law and, as a result of bold public policy and educational initiatives, the city diverts about 80 percent of its waste from landfills, or more than 1.5 million tons every year. Ultimately, San Francisco aims to reach zero waste. That means recycling, composting, reusing, and reducing consumption so that nothing goes to either the landfill or incineration. Standard residential services include a 64-gallon blue recycling bin, a 32-gallon green composting bin, and 16-gallon black trash bin.

Bins have no dedicated space so they dominate the street. There is no clear composition, as windows and doors do not line up and do not respond to a proportional gridded pattern. The little space between the front facade and the public path is too small and does not have sufficient demarcation (i.e. a boundary wall). These homes could be anywhere in the country, they do not show a distinctively “Nottingham” character. https://www.dqfnottingham.org.uk/hhdg-light-vent daily 0.75 2020-07-02 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c800b86b914495c1c4da070/1593690506784-05HLHOO76VFLODJQJUEV/IMG_3366.JPG HHDG Light & Vent Large windows in Trent Basin, Nottingham. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c800b86b914495c1c4da070/1593690633518-UUEIWV1Y72G7OHXVBHLI/image-asset.jpeg HHDG Light & Vent In The Meadows, Nottingham City Homes incorporated a chimney-like feature to include sun pipes that illuminate the staircases, reflecting the roof design of the existing adjacent properties and increasing light into the building. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c800b86b914495c1c4da070/1593691361913-5ODIGDXVZV4SQIB7L9L2/light.jpg HHDG Light & Vent This sketch shows why it is important to consider natural light and ventilation.

This is because the proportions and position of the windows in combination create a very regular façade texture, which does not follow Nottingham’s norm.

The University won the National Green Gown Awards and have embedded food growing across the curriculum providing students not only with food for eating and sharing philanthropically with neighbouring charities most in need, but importantly educational volunteering opportunities. Students learn about soil management, sowing, growing and food harvesting as well as composting.

The aim is to improve the happiness and wellbeing of people across the UK by helping to build resilient and better-connected communities. Eating a shared lunch with neighbours is a starting point for ideas and conversations to brew and for skills and resource sharing to happen. In 2017, 9.3 million people took part across the UK. Closing the Distance Between Us report commissioned by The Big Lunch found that 76% of those questioned believed they were closer to their neighbours 20 years ago than they are today.

By the end of 2017 the organisation had provided more than 5,000 pounds of fresh produce free of charge to more than 2,000 households, most of them low income. The model incorporates hydroponics to increase production of food. The co-founder and farmer Tyson Gresh explains how AgriHood is unique in that it “positions agriculture as a centrepiece of a mixed urban development”. A model for neighbourhood design that, if replicated on a mass scale, could have a massive impact on food insecurity.at neighbourhood levels.

It is one of Europe’s biggest redevelopment projects and consists of two residential towers. Each tower houses 900 trees, 5,000 shrubs and 11,000 perennial plants which mitigate smog and produce oxygen. This provides an efficient way to absorb carbon dioxide and improve air quality in a dense city area. With more than 90 species of plants and tress it is expected that new birds and insects will be attracted to the city. It is also used to moderate temperatures in winter and summer shading interiors from the sun and blocking harsh winds, the vegetation also protects interior spaces from noise pollution and dust from street-level traffic.

In classical architecture, the dimensions of all the component parts of a façade and the separation between components, follow a mathematical rule. Good contemporary design also applies these principles. Historic buildings were designed using imperial measurements whilst contemporary architecture tends to use the metric system. Good designers emphasise the relative hierarchy of some of the components over others, for example, main entrances stand out and have more intricate detail or interest. Most historic buildings in Nottingham have an enhanced ground floor, which was often the retail space. The floors above also have relative hierarchy, mainly given by the size of openings and their separation, and the application of detail. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c800b86b914495c1c4da070/1593022238761-QYO16IDWZAGF8RVWQTDJ/pod3.jpg FDG Proportions https://www.dqfnottingham.org.uk/sdg-place-making daily 0.75 2020-07-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c800b86b914495c1c4da070/1594033502745-S0DUB9AWODTA0HBBAG8F/Skate+2.jpg SDG Place making A child skating in a residential street in Nottingham during the COVID-19 pandemic. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c800b86b914495c1c4da070/1593696159316-IYH9O1198BGPI5T4JTSE/Placemaking.jpg SDG Place making Nottingham residents and communities working out the contents and key criteria of this design guide. https://www.dqfnottingham.org.uk/hdg-details daily 0.75 2020-06-26 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c800b86b914495c1c4da070/1593024138369-0P8AEESCS4KB9I56J7WN/Details+3.JPG HDG Details Nottingham has many period buildings with intricate façades and enhanced front doors.

Note how GPs are good at explaining complex medical issues to patients in plain language; designers have not mastered the art yet. Technical language often does not address people’s real concerns, which are more likely to relate to their own quality of life than the particularities of the scheme. People tend to express their concerns in relation to how development might affect their daily routines, and they are less worried about the lawfulness of the proposal, as they know the planning system will deal with this. When engaging with communities, designers should use language free of jargons to address people’s concerns. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c800b86b914495c1c4da070/1593678860144-QV4BNZ4YR5791JQL9Y7T/Table+6.png CEG Communication & follow up The table above shows the minimal communication criteria during the design and planning engagement process. https://www.dqfnottingham.org.uk/hhdg-composition daily 0.75 2020-07-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c800b86b914495c1c4da070/1593689837781-6U36RNTSV08RVX1ISGMQ/Composition+%282%29.jpg HHDG Composition Observe how the Basic Rules of Composition were applied to design this residential development in The Meadows. https://www.dqfnottingham.org.uk/sdg-legible daily 0.75 2020-07-02 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c800b86b914495c1c4da070/1593698911644-THRW8MIGW547KR85YIMN/Composition+%282%29.jpg SDG Well defined S & S All the components of a street contribute to creating a place: building heights, street and paths widths, trees and vegetation, front gardens and boundary treatments, car parking, waste storage, etc. Good design utilises all those tools to create hierarchical street character in neighbourhoods, helping people create a mental map of the place. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c800b86b914495c1c4da070/1593698965867-VM0VPVVGW6KLEX51VXWT/Continuous+Footway.jpg SDG Well defined S & S A well designed crossing with clear pedestrian priority (by Phil Jones Associates). https://www.dqfnottingham.org.uk/hhdg-proportions-1 daily 0.75 2020-07-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c800b86b914495c1c4da070/1594045866227-CYUGKXSHL7SFAOA1RLTJ/Extension+example+2+Cirencester.jpg HHDG Proportions This extension in Cirencester, by Roger Gransmore Architect, looks modern because of the use of glass but the design, form, proportions and main building materials are traditional and in keeping with the period.

During the 18th century shops used multiple small panes of crown glass to create windows, some with bow windows to maximise light and display space. Another pivotal development was the use of fascias to display the shop name. The only Georgian shopfronts that remain in Nottingham are those on public houses. The Roebuck Inn, on St James’s Street, was originally built as two houses in c1770, the later shopfronts are in the Georgian style. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c800b86b914495c1c4da070/1619791921867-QGMKU92YLYVOEMA5DPID/IMG_4087.JPG SFDG Shopfronts Timeline - Victorian shopfronts (1837-1901) 6 Byard Lane. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c800b86b914495c1c4da070/1613754395797-XIMX0RV5XL9OKAZRO5NI/Home+page+-+38+Carrington+St+c.jpeg SFDG Shopfronts Timeline At 38 Carrington Street the functional ventilation grill also adds to the design and decorative appeal of the shopfront.

Make it stand out Back gardens, fences and hedges facing green spaces, without natural surveillance and strong, accessible pedestrian links, will not be accepted. Dead ends terminating onto a boundary leading to a green space must provide clear, open access. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c800b86b914495c1c4da070/254b31af-792f-4460-bec1-0744a05ecba2/NS1.Good.jpg New Streets Design Criteria '23 - Make it stand out Dwellings must face green spaces offering surveillance; where dealing with corners, homes should respond with facades onto both sides. Strong links and routes through should offer direct access to green spaces. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c800b86b914495c1c4da070/5607dd63-4f53-462b-825f-e291afb5a58a/NS2_CulDeS.jpg New Streets Design Criteria '23 - Make it stand out Cul-de-sac patterns are land hungry, highly inefficient and result in circa 40% of the land taken by highways.

Alison Brooks Architects. Winner of the 2021 RIBA House of the Year competition: although the geometry of the extension looks very different from the existing house, it is lower than the roof line, the angles replicate the existing roof angles and the colour palette is taken from the existing building. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c800b86b914495c1c4da070/4e7cf64e-e76d-4164-a002-9c657c85e6c7/1examAI.jpg Architecture -
