castle lane area cultural quarter, bedford
international open ideas competition
bedford borough council is launching a competition for ideas to redevelop
and revitalise the castle lane area in bedford town centre which currently
provides a mix arts, heritage and car parking. bedford has a compact town
centre with an attractive historic environment and is the second oldest
borough in the country. bedford's heritage of buildings, spaces and
riverside location give the town centre its own unique identity and sense of
space.
the castle lane area comprises facilities at the bedford museum and cecil
higgins art gallery and the historic castle mound and gardens which are
currently being restored. the area has been identified as a key development
site in the emerging proposals for the re-development and revitalisation of
bedford town centre and this has received overwhelming support from local
residents at the town centre exhibitions who recognise it as an opportunity
to provide a heritage led cultural focus and a visitor attraction for
bedford.
the original castle was built following the norman invasion but fell during
a siege in 1224. the site of the mound has survived, as has the historic
medieval route through the original castle complex. the 1.8 acres [0.73
hectare] area was cleared for redevelopment but has remained empty for 40
years.
design entries should have regard for the character and profile of the area
and provide sympathetic development proposals. they should also give
consideration to the emerging development framework [or master plan]
proposals, and the protection and enhancement of the architectural and
historic features of the area. it has been indicated in the local plan for
the area that acceptable uses for the site will include leisure, office and
cultural facilities as well as residential.
the competition is a call for ideas only, however, subject to successful
planning and funding the council hope in the future to proceed with the
designers of the winning scheme.
competition format: the competition will be judged anonymously at the first
stage. the authors of the best six designs will thereafter be invited to
meet with the judges and 'present' their ideas to the panel.
eligibility: the competition is open internationally to registered
architects and students of architecture.
submission deadline: 15th april 2004
