Usually new work within heritage places is referred to as either timid or 'in your face'. But when it is more than these descriptors allow, it can be powerful. As an expression of the tangible or intangible elements of a place, it can interpret and express aspects of significance. New design needs to be located in place and place in turn influences design. There can be a dynamic relationship between a place and its relationship with new work. I wonder if anyone else is interested in expanding the notion of new work as a positive contributor to heritage places and how guidance might be given to practitioners?

New work can facilitate interpretation and not spoil the place. We can try for good architecture or other values as well but only time will tell if any significance has been added

Hi Louise. This sounds like a possible topic for a future Practice Note. If others are interested please respond to this post and we'll see where it takes us.

I would love to see the professions of planning, urban design, landscape design and architecture collaborate on this one. So often there is tension between the design professions and heritage practitioners, but in order to move forward there needs to be a meeting of minds and a sharing of ideas around design to establish basic principles of what good design can be, and how it might be achieved. I for one would love to see that happen.
In its best form, new work can be about the transmission of heritage values - all part of interpretation.
