Read the text. Fundamentals of a Good Design The history and culture of a nation are written in its buildings, public spaces, towns and cities. Through their design and how we live our lives in them, we recognise what is special about our society and communities. Every new building and public space is an expression of our values and aspirations. How places are looked after speaks volumes about our self- esteem and sense of national and local pride and identity. Architecture and urbanism are arts just as surely as painting and sculpture. The built environment is a cultural asset. It is essential to design it well and to manage and maintain it to high standards. Design is the way we decide how we want things to be. Everything we make is designed by somebody. So the question is not whether we need or can afford design. It"s whether design is good enough. In the built environment, design is the key decision-making process. At the strategic level it creates the vision for places. At a more detailed level it describes how we want them to work, look and feel. Good design is not inevitable. It needs to be championed, invested in and worked at. All decision makers need to understand the importance of good design and how to get the best out of it. Questions of taste and fashion often arise in discussions about architecture. Tastes vary and fashions change. Appreciation of the beauty of the new may grow with time and familiarity. However, the basics of good design have been understood for centuries. They transcend fashion and personal taste.Style can sometimes be an important consideration, perhaps where it is necessary to complement an existing building. However, there are three much more important principles that make it possible to recognise good design when we see it, regardless of style. They are variously described as robustness, or durability; usefulness, or efficiency; and beauty, or the ability to delight people. This set of principles is not new but it can be applied to help everyone recognise a well-designed building or place. This should give us all the confidence to identify and understand the kinds of places that work well and that we want to create. Applying the three principles, we will know that buildings and public spaces are well designed if: 1. they are useful, built to last and easy to care for (for example, Christopher Wren"s Royal Hospital Chelsea); 2. you can find your way and move around easily, regardless of whether or not you are disabled, in a place in which you feel safe (such as the design of public space in Mowbray Park, Sunderland, or the Bedford Park estate in west London); 3. they relate well to the place where they are built; this might mean fitting in quietly or creating new context and new landmarks, depending on circumstances (for example, the award-winning office development at 30 Finsbury Square, which merges easily with the surrounding buildings, or Manchester Civil Justice Centre, which stands out decisively); 4. they are flexible and their use can change over time (the obvious examples being period terraced housing and mill buildings from the early industrial revolution); 5. they are environmentally efficient and will help us all to live and work sustainably (such as Great Bow Yard in Somerset and Oxley Woods in Milton Keynes); 6. the people who use them tell you that they help them to work more effectively and deliver services more efficiently (which is now well documented in the new Kidderminster Treatment Centre); 7. the people who live there tell you that their quality of life has improved, and they continue to say this over time (for example on the Holly Street Estate in Hackney); 8. people tell you that they are proud of where they live because their building or place has real identity, character and beauty (the case with the Ilfracombe Pavilion in Devon, or Grainger Town in Newcastle). So it is possible to design well in a variety of styles. The important thing is that 21st century society has the opportunity to contribute worthy additions to the accumulating pattern that makes up our towns and cities. Buildings and spaces should look good but Commission for Architecture and the Built Environment (CABE) doesn"t demand that every building should be an icon. We do well to remember that public controversy does not always mean that a building"s design is poor. Opinions about the Gherkin have been polarised. Nobody denies its ingenuity or the fact that it is now a symbol of London. The response to the London Eye was mixed at the start. Now it can"t be taken away from Londoners. Both are hi-tech structures, not traditional London buildings. Yet both have been taken to people"s hearts and to many speak of London"s identity almost as much as St Paul"s Cathedral or Tower Bridge. The same is true of the Gateshead Millennium Bridge and the Lowry in Salford. Everywhere that we see great architecture, landscape architecture and urban design we see communities with a renewed sense of civic confidence and self-belief. Choose the most appropriate answer from the given. The author thinks the built environment should be valued because Выберите один ответ: а. it"s made Бу great people.
