Lively Cities project
Brighton & Hove City Council is working to transform the area around Ann Street and Providence Place Gardens (the small park opposite St Bartholomew’s Church) into a lively, safe and successful public space.
View panoramas of the Ann Street and Providence Place Gardens area.
The work is part of the EU assisted ‘Lively Cities’ (LICI) programme - a four-year project aiming to strengthen communities by reclaiming public space for public use.
Volunteers working for the project spoke to people using the area over the period of a week in September. Local people will be actively involved in helping to choose the final design and features and experiencing the new space.
Time lapse recordings and general project information are also available via Facebook Lively Cities.
Competition
A commission for up to €50,000 (fifty thousand Euro) is available for the design and implementation of a project to transform and enhance people’s experience of the Ann Street / Providence Place gardens area. The council is looking for an inspirational design that can be implemented and tested in September/October 2012 and beyond.
The selection process for the commission has three stages
- pre-qualification questionnaire (PQQ)
- short-listing
- invitation to tender
The commission is open to architects, designers, artists and event programmers. Collaborations and international applications are welcome.
Five ideas will be shortlisted in March and the applicants asked to develop detailed proposals for a public exhibition at the end of April. A selection panel will choose the winner at the end of May. The public will have the chance to vote for their favourite which will inform the final decision.
The PQQ itself and supporting information, including details of how to apply, is available on the South East Business Portal. Go the list of current opportunities available with Brighton & Hove City Council.and select ‘Lively Cities Competition’. Please note that applicants do NOT have to register with the South East Business Portal site to access the PQQ and supporting information.
