Architecture and the Built Environment: Design Review Insight Report

Design Council deliver design advice to professionals in the built environment; supporting them to balance the multiple factors at play and overcome complexities which prohibit design quality. Design Review is one of the tools offered – a pre-planning process for evaluating the quality of design for significant developments, new buildings, public spaces and major infrastructure.

This report outlines the findings from a data project to assess, categorise and analyse a sample of recent Design Review letters. The project provides understanding of the key issues in the built environment by identifying trends and common themes across Design Reviews.
