Press Release announcing winners of Warwick Bar competition
Background
In Summer 2005 MADE was appointed by developers ISIS to run a competition to select a masterplanner for Warwick Bar, a 3 hectare site and conservation area in Birmingham's Eastside.  In terms of its canalside industrial heritage Warwick Bar is one of the richest sites in the city. The site includes bridges, locks, warehouses, canal offices basins and other buildings, which provide the potential for reuse for sensitive mixed-use development. The brief for the masterplan will invite responses that recognise the special qualities of the site, the context of Eastside as a whole and linkages with the city centre core including the new Masshouse development.
The primary driver for the design brief is an aspiration shared by ISIS and Birmingham City Council's Eastside team, which is to create at Warwick Bar an exemplar for sustainable design and construction practice connecting to and reflecting Eastside's wider range of environmental initiatives.
As a member of the development team, MADE’s next role will be to lead on the community consultation, commissioning artist’s proposals and the promotion of Warwick Bar; bringing the Eastside neighbourhood and cultural economy together to ensure the aims for a sustainable scheme can be achieved.
As a model of good practice, the development process will be made fully transparent enabling MADE to disseminate the development process from start to finish as a learning tool for professionals and students in urban regeneration and to highlight the role of good design for ensuring sustainable communities.
