Buildings can be both a liability and an asset
• Space may be:– Expensive– Poorly utilised– Costly to maintain– Slow to procure and dispose of
• However, space can be:– Focus for communicating identity– Key education resource– Stimulant to individuals and the
community– Valuable source of return
Charles Renee Mackintosh, Scotland Street School, Glasgow
Architects design spaces, people make them places
