The Design Council is recasting its structure and consulting on operations following its incorporation of CABE.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/strong><\/p>\n

Richard Simmons says:<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/strong><\/p>\n

Nineteen CABE staff will transfer to the Design Council, to a unit to be known initially as Design Council CABE. They will be funded for two years by DCLG to deliver and support design review and enabling work.\u00a0The unit is up and running, continuing to run design reviews and working with partners to strengthen both design review and enabling and planning work at the local level.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The Design Council will conduct a rapid review, from April to July 2011, about how best to deliver design\u00a0support under localism.\u00a0\u00a0The review will be led by Peter Bishop, formerly Director of Design for London and currently Chair of the Architecture Centre Network.<\/p>\n

<\/strong><\/p>\n

The CABE team at the Design Council will be led by Diane Haigh, currently Director of design review. CABE Commissioners Paul Finch and Rab Bennetts will\u00a0transfer to\u00a0the Design Council\u2019s trustee board. Please offer them your support in the future.<\/p>\n

The Design Council Says:<\/span><\/p>\n

As CABE and the Design Council come together, we\u2019re well placed to give a strong voice to architecture and design. Uniting two world-class centres of design excellence, our merger reflects the widening role and influence of design. From the spoon, to the coffee-making machine, to hallway furniture, to the building, to the street, to the environment, to the neighbourhood, to the city, the power and potential of design is wonderfully evident. Away from physical \u2018things\u2019, services and systems can also benefit from a design-focused approach to problem solving. Our two organisations bring complementary skills and beliefs.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Starting life in 1944 as the Council of Industrial Design, the Design Council has a proven track record encouraging innovation. Similarly, CABE, the successor of the Royal Fine Art Commission, is the respected champion and enabler of design quality in the built environment. Together, as a leaner, more focused \u2018enterprising charity\u2019, we\u2019re determined to put design at the heart of Britain\u2019s social and economic renewal.<\/p>\n

<\/strong><\/p>\n

CABE<\/span><\/p>\n

CABE has gone a long way in the drive to create sustainable communities where people want and can afford to live.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

We plan to go further. We\u2019ll support local communities to help them deliver and shape places and spaces that meet their needs.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

This will be achieved through CABE\u2019s system of \u2018enabling\u2019, in which experts provide support and advice at the local level. This work will build on the much-admired services delivered by CABE \u2013 such as\u00a0Design Review<\/a>.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Our immediate priorities are to establish CABE at the Design Council, make sure communities continue to receive advice and support, deliver Design Review and, crucially, bring the built environment and design communities together to create a long-term strategy for CABE at the Design Council.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

We’ll be adding a new CABE section to the site shortly. In the meantime, you can reach the CABE team at cabe@designcouncil.org.uk<\/a>.<\/p>\n
