Call a Chartered Surveyor<\/figcaption><\/figure>\r\n<p>An architectural practice has suggested it could break the &#8216;Brexit deadlock&#8217; by proposing new designs for the building interiors and exteriors at the Palace of Westminster.<\/p>\r\n<p>CGI perspectives of what is described as a more &#8216;democratic&#8217; parliament include open and light plan spaces to encourage collaborative working. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.axiomarchitects.co.uk\/\">Axiom Architects<\/a> says the current Houses of Parliament are of a &#8216;confrontational design&#8217; that are responsible for the current impasse.<\/p>\r\n<p>In a tongue-in-cheek stunt, the proposed amendments would introduce a central debating space and repurpose some of the existing buildings. The debating chamber would become a central assembly hall with transparent glass replacing the gothic and dark wood-panelled walls. The space would be circular to rid parliament of the confrontational dynamics of the current building, in a design resembling to the Scottish Parliament building or the Welsh Senedd \u00e2\u20ac\u201c or indeed the European Parliament.<\/p>\r\n<p>The proposed transformation hasn&#8217;t stopped at Westminster; Big Ben would be fitted with huge digital information screens to keep onlookers updated on what&#8217;s going on inside, and new co-working\/co-living spaces would be added to the Victoria Tower, for use by MPs and the media.<\/p>\r\n<p>Axiom said it sought to encourage &#8216;collaboration and openness, rather than division and conflict&#8217;, which is perhaps the solution to the United Kingdom leaving the European Union.<\/p>\r\n<p>The Palace of Westminster is scheduled to be overhauled in the future but we will see whether its future lies in a blend of traditional and modern, as has been seen at the Greater London Assembly\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s City Hall, King\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s Cross Station or the British Museum.<\/p>\r\n<p>If you&#8217;re thinking of injecting a bit of life into a defunct and weary older property, or buying a &#8216;doer-upper&#8217;, ask a Chartered Surveyor to provide you with a Building Survey of the building to ensure it is fit for redesign or whether it just needs &#8216;knocking down&#8217; and starting again.<\/p>\r\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.propertysurveying.co.uk\/newsletter\/?page_id=21713\">Back to April 2019 Newsletter<\/a><\/p>\r\n<p>\u00c2\u00a9\u00c2\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.propertysurveying.co.uk\/INDEX\/INDEX1.html\">www.PropertySurveying.co.uk<\/a><\/p>\r\n<p>SH\/LCB<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"parent":22315,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"footnotes":""},"folder":[564,565],"class_list":["post-22036","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.5 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Could redesigned buildings really \u00e2\u20ac\u02dcsolve\u00e2\u20ac\u2122 Brexit?
