Social Housing: What Next? | The Architecture Centre
The housing crisis is now estimated to affect 8.4 million in England*. With a shortage in liveable, affordable social housing and the emergence of ‘modern day slums’ caused by permitted development rights, The Architecture Centre looks to leading examples of social housing in the UK and further afield to ask – could we see a renaissance of social housing in the near future?

On the site of a former ambulance station, the project is situated in Castle Park, the largest urban green space in Bristol. It provides 375 new homes, through a mixture of Build-to-Rent and affordable dwellings. Active ground-floor frontages to Castle Park are provided through a main entrance lobby, business centre, concierge reception and leisure facilities for the buildings’ residents. A 26-storey tower and a 10-storey block book-end the scheme, with a building connecting the two and providing frontage to the park.

'Impressive' Architecture on Bedminster Parade, Bristol, UK
Retail:
Retail markets and shops have a very ancient history, dating back to antiquity. Over the centuries, retail shops were transformed from little more than rude booths to the sophisticated shopping malls of the modern era.
Retailing involves the process of selling consumer goods or services to customers through multiple channels of distribution to earn a profit. Retailers satisfy demand identified through a supply chain. Some of the earliest retailers were itinerant peddlers. The term retailer is typically applied where a service provider fills the small orders of a large number of individuals, who are end-users, rather than large orders of a small number of wholesale, corporate or government clientele. Shopping generally refers to the act of buying products....
Architecture:
Architecture is both the process and the product of planning, designing, and constructing buildings or any other structures.[3] Architectural works, in the material form of buildings, are often perceived as cultural symbols and as works of art. Historical civilizations are often identified with their surviving architectural achievements.
United States:
The United States of America (USA), commonly known as the United States (U.S.) or America (/əˈmɛrɪkə/), is a federal republic[16][17] composed of 50 states, a federal district, five major self-governing territories, and various possessions.[fn 6] Forty-eight states and the federal district are contiguous and located in North America between Canada and Mexico. The state of Alaska is in the northwest corner of North America, bordered by Canada to the east and across the Bering Strait from Russia to the west. The state of Hawaii is an archipelago in the mid-Pacific Ocean. The U.S. territories are scattered about the Pacific Ocean and the Caribbean Sea, stretching across nine official time zones. The extremely diverse geography, climate and wildlife of the United States make it one of the world's 17 megadiverse countries.[19]
At 3.8 million square miles (9.8 million km2)[20] and with over 324 million people, the United States is the world's third- or fourth-largest country by total area,[fn 7] and the third-most populous. The capital is Washington, D.C., and the largest city is New York City; twelve other major metropolitan areas—each with at least 4.5 million inhabitants—are Los Angeles, Chicago, Dallas, Houston, Washington, D.C., Philadelphia, Miami, Atlanta, Boston, San Francisco, Phoenix, and Riverside.
Drive around Bristol Centre to Check Out British Restaurants
With our Australian cousins due to make a flying visit to Bristol as part of their extensive tour of the UK, and wishing to meet up with us for an evening meal during their visit, we felt it would be most appropriate to take them to a Traditional British Restaurant.
In deciding which venue would be most suitable when they visit, we decided to make a tour of some of our favourite local haunts, starting with the Hole in the Wall in the centre of Bristol, and after checking out the numerous restaurants, cafes and other eateries along the Harbourside and on the city centre, make our way back to some of our favourite restaurants near where we live.
The Hole in the Wall was our first choice because it’s near the City Centre, the building itself is c1746, and when we went there years ago was a very Traditional British Restaurant. However, on our revisit, although the menu is still ‘British’ the seating (at least down stairs) was more ‘casual’ (reclining), more suited to relaxed ‘pub’ socialising than sitting up at the table for a 2 hour three course meal.
When we parked up at the Harbourside to check out the vast number of eateries along the waterfront, most cater for ‘international’ taste, and the one place we did find that does British Food, the ‘Slug and Lettuce’ (Cocktail Bar on the Harbourside) the building was too modern e.g. clinical, with no olde British atmosphere.
Moving onto the City Centre, we did spot the Drawbridge (next to the famous Hippodrome Theatre), a pub that we’ve used before, and which does excellent Traditional British ‘Pub Grub’, which could possibly be a good choice; but we concluded that being a popular pub on the City Centre it might be too busy, and noisy, to be difficult to enjoy a quiet chat with family and friends over a meal.
Therefore, we headed out for the ‘Snuff Mill’ Harvester Restaurant in Frenchay, Bristol (just 10 minutes from where we live). It’s a favourite haunt of ours, and very Traditional British Food, in a Traditional British setting; including the indoor fishpond in the middle of the restaurant.

Places to see in ( Bristol - UK ) Bristol Cathedral
Places to see in ( Bristol - UK ) Bristol Cathedral
Bristol Cathedral, formally the Cathedral Church of the Holy and Undivided Trinity, is the Church of England cathedral in the city of Bristol, England. Founded in 1140 and consecrated in 1148, Bristol Cathedral was originally St Augustine's Abbey but after the Dissolution of the Monasteries it became in 1542 the seat of the newly created Bishop of Bristol and the cathedral of the new Diocese of Bristol. Bristol Cathedral is a Grade I listed building.
The eastern end of the church includes fabric from the 12th century, with the Elder Lady Chapel which was added in the early 13th century. Much of the church was rebuilt in the English Decorated Gothic style during the 14th century despite financial problems within the abbey. In the 15th century the transept and central tower were added. The nave was incomplete at the Dissolution of the Monasteries in 1539 and was demolished. In the 19th century Gothic Revival a new nave was built by George Edmund Street partially using the original plans. The western twin towers, designed by John Loughborough Pearson, were completed in 1888.
Located on College Green, Bristol Cathedral has tall Gothic windows and pinnacled skyline. The eastern end is a hall church in which the aisles are the same height as the Choir and share the Lierne vaults. The late Norman chapter house, situated south of the transept, contains some of the first uses of pointed arches in England. In addition to the Bristol Cathedral architectural features, it contains several memorials and an historic organ. Little of the original stained glass remains with some being replaced in the Victorian era and further losses during the Bristol Blitz.
