Presentation by Tom Lloyd (PearsonLloyd) at Design Council's Active by Design Summit, 18 September 2014.

7. Councillors have approved plans to change the colour of
the ceramic tiles on a Bath museum development. The
architect behind the extension of the Holburne Museum
applied to Bath and North East Somerset Council to
make the shade of the cladding darker than originally
agreed. Original planning permission for the building was
granted on the condition that the tiles used on the
second floor were close to a Bath stone colour. However
architect Eric Parry has now changed his mind and
asked politicians to allow him to use a darker shade,
which had previously been vetoed.

10. Historic cities should avoid all forms of pseudo-historical
design, as they constitute a denial of both
the historical & contemporary alike. One historical
view should not supplant others, as history must
remain readable, while continuity of culture through
quality interventions is the ultimate goal.
