Street life

Article Abstract:

Creative use of red brickwork has helped produce a colourful traffic free zone in the town centre of Stafford, UK. The town centre was pedestrianised in 1992, with 2 million pounds sterling being spent on redesigning and landscaping to produce an integrated pedestrian area. Stafford Borough Council designers produced the finished result of walkways, seating areas and piazza zones which have helped the area develop as a traffic free shopping centre. Various bricks and patterns were used in the design of the paved areas.

A dog's life

Article Abstract:

Over 800 dogs can be accommodated in the newly constructed Battersea Dogs' Home building, London, designed by architectural firm Martin Richmond Associates at a cost of 6.1 million pounds sterling. Extensive use of brickwork meant 16,000 bricks were laid each day by a total of 29 bricklayers. The new building has been designed to offer accommodation, meeting rooms and visitor areas, as well as exercise space. Battersea Dogs' Home provides care and medical attention for lost, abused and neglected dogs.
