The counterargument to this is that the ceiling itself is one large dust trap.
The active engagement of the community within the local area and their pride in the development is testament to the positive social impact of the project..The project has also prioritised placemaking, providing great physical improvements to the neighbourhood.
The formerly forgotten backland site now features pavilions surrounding a central communal green area, providing a fantastic outdoor space for the community to use and enjoy.The lockdown imposed on us by the COVID-19 pandemic saw the urban garden-style placemaking at Churchwood Gardens really come into its own.Residents could easily get out of their property and into the natural environment, while still feeling safe..
This level of placemaking, along with the sustainability credentials of the scheme and the added benefit to the existing built environment, is what social value in architecture means to us at Bryden Wood..Constant reflection, evaluation, and improvement.
Bryden Wood continues to push as a practice to look at how we can deliver social value through our projects, learning from each scale and sector type to inform better design outcomes.
As a multi-disciplinary company, Bryden Wood has the ability to collaborate across specialities to target each of the strands of social value we have identified, in a holistic approach to design.Gabrielli, Paolo, et al, "The role of Carbon Capture and utilization, Carbon Capture and storage, and biomass to enable a net-zero-CO2 emissions chemical industry.".
