Artistic licence
Article Abstract:
Architects Wendy Shillam and Mike Smith rigorously support the idea that art should be combined with architectural design. They suggest that artists should be used to create new ideas for the regeneration of deprived urban areas and architects should then be employed to put the ideas into practice. Their company, Shillam and Smith, also owns an art gallery know as Shillam and Smith 3. They have received a grant to further their work with artists in renovating inner-city residential sites in London, England. The company employs seven architects who are working on several projects in London.

What Leeds needs: Liz Minkin, chair of the Leeds Architecture and Design INitiative, has strong views on the city's future development
Article Abstract:
Liz Minkin is currently chair of the Leeds Architecture and Design Initiative (LADI), which was set up to encourage innovative public design. She acknowledges the city's recent achievements, but would like to see good architecture for people and believes there is scope for bright young architects to place their own style on both new buildings and refurbishments. She feels that all interests in a city should be considered and local councillors should try and keep a balance of interests.
