- Living_Villages abstract "Living Villages is an organisation in the United Kingdom established in 1993 as part of The Athena Foundation UK (now dissolved) and as The Living Village Trust in 1997 by Carole Salmon and Bob Tomlinson. The objectives are to encourage sustainable development through appropriate design and ethical commercial practice. The first project of five environmentally friendly houses called Bells Court in Bishops Castle, Shropshire, UK built in 1997 and the 40 house eco-neighbourhood called The Wintles, also in Bishops Castle, demonstrate that new housing can be eco-friendly, attractive and beneficial to a local community provided that a specific set of design principles is adhered to.Tomlinson and Salmon maintain that sustainability within the built environment is not possible unless the inhabitants feel a connection to the place and enjoy living there. For example, even if a building is highly energy efficient or made from environmentally friendly materials, it cannot be sustainable if it is demolished or radically altered because it is not liked by its occupants, or is not fit for purpose. Many new 'eco-buildings' suffer this fate at great environmental and social cost despite their acclaimed eco-credentials.Therefore it is vital that any new build environment is designed in such a way as to be attractive to the current users and flexible enough to be easily modified for future users.The design code derived from the building of The Wintles is a step by step process which serves as a guide to the design of buildings and, perhaps more importantly, the spaces between the buildings, so that they have a good chance of being properly sustainable. The key component of this process is to study and learn from existing buildings and places that have proved over many generations to be well used and liked by their inhabitants. The job of the designer, urbanist or architect is then to take the best of these elements and improve them using contemporary methods without destroying the original character.".
