"Sense of place can be created or reinforced by using historical references as well as materials and detailing that respond to the local vernacular. Street names, signs, landscaping, on-site interpretation, maintenance of ancient boundaries – all of these can be used to keep memories alive, stress the individuality of the development and foster a sense of place. To realise these possibilities clients, their design team, archaeologists and conservation officers need to work together from the start of the design process, and other regulators should be drawn in to provide a ‘development team’ approach. When this is done well, tenants gain a sense of contact with their environment, and by understanding, valuing and engaging with it, to help shape a strong, inclusive and vibrant community."
