Chapman Taylor is the masterplanner and lead designer of Cabot Circus, an integrated urban regeneration scheme in the heart of Bristol with residential, retail, leisure, offices, transportation and new landscaping as illustrated in the commercial photography and architectural photography. The proposals will improve the built environment and provide facilities for local and regional communities whilst responding to Bristol's heritage.
Design Concept
The aim is to create a mixed environment by integrating the commercial aspects of the masterplan (the retail) within a mixed-use scheme illustrated by the commercial photography and architectural photography. The scheme is one of a series of major redevelopment sites in Bristol which will compete with the current out-of-town shopping centre at Cribbs Causeway illustrated in other architectural photography, thereby attracting people back into the heart of the city by providing a quality environment with improved facilities.
The masterplan principles are as follows:
a) Urban regeneration and mixed-use development
b) Retention of historic buildings
c) A network of safe and attractive streets and squares
d) Accessibility with reduced traffic impact
e) City-scale individual buildings, emphasising landmarks and key views
f) A managed development process
g) Award winning construction photography and architectural photography
The design includes three new streets, vibrant public areas and a dramatic and innovative glass roof structure.The roof is the first of its kind in Europe and will provide protection from the elements without losing the open city centre experience as illustrated in the commercial photography and architectural photography.
