4. AIM …to raise the ambition and future direction of suburban housing provision in Scotland…this programme will: examine the relationship between architectural design and volume house- building

5. AIM …to raise the ambition and future direction of suburban housing provision in Scotland…this programme will: examine the relationship between architectural design and volume house- building examine the potential use of design principles which identify common place- specific and environmentally-responsible criteria

6. AIM …to raise the ambition and future direction of suburban housing provision in Scotland…this programme will: examine the relationship between architectural design and volume house- building examine the potential use of design principles which identify common place- specific and environmentally-responsible criteria determine new mechanisms for ensuring the integration and longevity of design quality in the procurement of volume house-building

7. AIM …to raise the ambition and future direction of suburban housing provision in Scotland… this programme has: examined the relationship between architectural design and other values and volume house-building… concluding: multiple functions & values: a complex domain housing research requires a transdisciplinary approach qualitative approaches are very rare

8. NEXT STEPS Table I: (LAND) 1.Land and spaces in-between: how land use is responding to what’s happening in the UK in terms of land reform? 2.New models: Finding new ways of approaching the development of land and creating new models. 3.Landscaping: making landscaped spaces which are beautiful to be in.

9. NEXT STEPS Table II: (PROCESS) 1.Value of relationships: relationship between the designers, developer and policy makers. 2.The importance of iteration: (taking something and making it better through a structured process): housing problem can be made better not only through incremental improvements but also through iteration of scenarios. Different concepts can be tested effectively by looking at alternative scenarios. 3.Wholism: The importance of masterplanning and how parts such as density, different age groups and different classes relate back to the whole (masterplan).

10. NEXT STEPS Table III: (HISTORY) 1.Linking commercial value with learning from history: Learning from history being that adaptability, popularity and longevity of certain belongings. 2.Developers broadening their spectrum of values: Tenures and terraces were enduring housing models that were developer led without architects. Moreover, the best housing projects were in very strong urban context with already established rules as opposed to Greenfield and suburban development. 3.The importance of authority of the city: The ‘gatekeeper’ of the city is important in terms of commissions, encouragements and building permissions.
