Northern Architecture were pleased to be invited by Planning Aid North to help deliver urban design workshops for residents in Bensham, Teams and Felling on behalf of Gateshead Council.
We were asked to devise short activities that brought to life some of the design principles behind the creation of good quality public space; the design of buildings and the creation of places with character and that are sensitive to their surrounding urban character.
