ASSET Definition 1 – A Resource with Economic Value that an Individual, Company, or Country owns or controls with the expectation that it will provide a future Benefit.

PROPOSAL – a Plan or Suggestion , especially a formal or written one, put forward for consideration by others.

This website comprises Proactive / Plan-Led Commercial and Civic Minded Proposals. The Proposals were initially published on this website via the ArchiAssets.com domain name. The designation ‘ArchiAssets’’ refers to inherent and perceived value that has been created thus far from these Design Proposals, and also to Potential future value which might emerge from their progression. The domain name GrandProjets.com was registered in 2023 in order to address some of the Civic Proposals. Both domain names point to this website. Designs are Copyright.

Backround

These Proposals were conceived as a ‘What If’ / Proactive Response to Sites with Future Development Potential. The Design Intent inherent in the Proposals aims to be on balance both Commercially realistic and reasonable whilst also making a greater than average contribution to the Urban Realm.

Benefits of Forward Looking Development Propositions

A Proactive / Plan Led approach allows a Designer / Originator more freedom to progress their Preferred / Recommended Design Response when removed from the influence of Multiple Parties whose agendas are often diametrically opposed. Solutions may emerge that might not or could not, have occurred via Conventional Planning processes. Having Pre Published Proposals available for Consideration where Design intent is outlined can be advantageous. These Design Proposals require further input and development, however some Proposals are sufficiently well defined to provide a framework or direction from which more detailed work might be advanced.
