(22 August) Architecture and Design Scotland has launched the Value of Design podcast to facilitate discussions around best practices in design and placemaking.
Value of Design is dedicated to exploring the art and science of creating better places. The podcast features insightful conversations with leading figures from the worlds of design, architecture and the public sector.
By delving into real-world projects and challenges, Value of Design aims to inspire and inform listeners about the crucial role of design in shaping our places and improving life for our communities. The podcast offers a unique platform to share knowledge and best practices, from understanding the public's needs to implementing innovative solutions.
Designing for lasting benefits
In this first episode "Designing for Lasting Benefits", our Director of Design Heather Claridge, and Director of Landscape Architecture at Land Use Consultancy (LUC) Duncan McLean, explore the Hamiltonhill Claypits Local Nature Reserve in Glasgow.
Imagine a serene landscape: a picturesque blend of blue and green. Birdsong fills the air as locals stroll along boardwalks and cycle past boats gently moored in the canal. Join Heather and Duncan as they stroll through the canal pathways, discussing the aims and challenges of the project, the importance of collaboration throughout the design process, and how the needs of Glasgow's residents were met.
