Living in Edinburgh, I am constantly in awe of the architectural beauty that surrounds me. From the medieval charm of the Old Town to the elegant Georgian sophistication of the New Town, the city's design is a testament to centuries of history and culture. Walking through Edinburgh's streets feels like stepping back in time. The iconic Edinburgh Castle dominates the skyline, perched atop an ancient volcanic rock. The Royal Mile, with its narrow alleys and historic buildings, captures the essence of the city's medieval past. Each stone and facade tells a story, creating a rich tapestry of heritage. In contrast, the New Town showcases Georgian architecture at its finest. Its orderly streets and neoclassical buildings exemplify Enlightenment ideals of harmony and proportion. The grand squares and crescents, such as Charlotte Square and Moray Place, offer a glimpse into the city's prosperous 18th-century expansion. Modern architecture also finds its place in Edinburgh, seamlessly blending with the historic. The Scottish Parliament building, with its innovative design and symbolic elements, reflects the nation's contemporary aspirations while honoring its traditions. Living in such a city, I am reminded daily of the power of architecture to inspire and connect us to our past. Edinburgh's beauty is not just in its buildings, but in the stories they embody and the sense of place they create. It is a privilege to be part of this living, breathing museum, where history and modernity coexist in perfect harmony. #InvestInEdinburgh

*Paris will Reopen a Restored and Refreshed Notre-Dame, after 5 years of Rebuilding.* Notre-Dame Cathedral in Paris is considered special due to its iconic status as a masterpiece of French Gothic architecture, its historical significance, and its cultural prominence as a symbol of Paris, particularly recognized for its stunning stained glass windows, intricate stonework, and the famous gargoyles, which have been featured in literature like Victor Hugo's "The Hunchback of Notre Dame.". Key points about Notre-Dame: Architectural style: Considered a prime example of French Gothic architecture with its soaring arches, flying buttresses, and pointed spires. Religious significance: Dedicated to the Virgin Mary ("Notre Dame" means "Our Lady" in French). Cultural impact: Featured in numerous works of art and literature, most notably Victor Hugo's "The Hunchback of Notre Dame". Historical value: Construction began in the 12th century, making it a significant landmark with a rich history. Time for a Revisit?

➡ What causes more debate – how tall buildings look 👀 and their impact on the skyline, or what happens at their feet? It seems that skyline eye candy trumps the ground floor every time, which is curious because it will be the #publicrealm that does all of the heavy lifting when it comes to making #community and giving people a sense of #belonging. It is where lives overlap, and people get to know their neighbours. Not a square metre can be wasted. Inspired by a conversation with Scott Carroll, a director at LDA Design, illustrator and architect Anna Gibb has explored how to make the most of the foot of the tower. Together, they have emerged with nine key things we should be thinking about on the ground when building tall. Featured in the latest issue of the Landscape Institute's Journal on Housing: Landscapes for Living: A landscape-led approach to housing the nation, which is choc full of great articles. Well done Paul Lincoln on your last issue at the helm 👏 Latest issue of the Journal here: https://lnkd.in/eyvCpu98 Our feature here: https://lnkd.in/eEkShD9F Scott Scott Carroll Stella Bland #tallbuildings #architecture #landscapearchitecture #landscapedesign #buildingcommunity #socialvalue #betterplaces #bettercity #publicrealm #placemaking
