The Farrell ReviewIn January 2013 Ed Vaizey, Minister for Culture, Communications and the Creative Industries, asked me to undertake a national review of architecture and the built environment. I have undertaken this Review independently with my team at Farrells and advised by a panel of 11 industry leaders with a breadth of experience that covers education, outreach, urbanism, architecture, property and philosophy. Sir Terry Farrell
The Farrell ReviewEvery town and city ...should have an “urban room” where the past, present and future of that place can be inspected. ....a mix of display and meeting places... These “Place Spaces” should have a physical or virtual model, produced in collaboration with local technical colleges or universities, ... Urban rooms ... could be branded with the name of that place (“Place Space: Sheffield” or “Place Space: Reading”, for example).
The Farrell Review
