The West Sussex Design Commission Programme
West Sussex Design Commission is providing free support to contribute to the work of local and county authority partners in improving the quality of the built and natural environment in West Sussex.
This year the support was delivered through a series of two day residencies focused on three sub-regions within the County. Residencies provided free advice and training, via Kent Architecture Centre and the South East Regional Design Panel.
Each of the events were supported by a stimulating and topical public debate.
Residencies took place in February and March 2010 and explored the different themes.
