Prince Charles dreamed of building a brand new fourthreefourdd9c-e68five82f community – the use of traditional structure – the place other folks could live and work in shut proximity. In 1988, he appointed well known architect and urban planner, Leon Krier, to work on an overall idea for four hundred acres of virgin farmland in Poundbury, Dorset. This ‘fashion’ village has a mix of town homes, cottages, retail outlets and businesses on the edge of Dorchester in Dorset now hothe use of up to five000 citizens . the advances at Poundbury are a part of a much broader movement called New Urbanism and probably the most first examples of this used to be seaside in Florida (the place The Truman show used to be filmed). regardless of nickidentifys corresponding to ‘Toy city’ or ‘Charles city’, Poundbury remains a popular place to live. initially Poundbury used to be brushed aside as an irrelevance, and used to be subject to adverse reviews within the press particularly from those who disliked the ‘old fashioned’ style of the houses. shut, the rules it used to be based upon have not too long ago end up widely wide-spread as excellent observe and the village is now considered to be very related to public coverage and how absolute best to construct homes within the countryside. the advance is now the topic of world wide passion through planners, architects and housebuilders and many of the concepts are being included into other developments.

look at the real town of dorchester theses buildings have nothing similar its just a money making scheme to build on green belt the locals dont benifit if he wanted to build his own town build it off shore away from local inhabitants who think its a mess
Re: Poundbury
I understand the ‘why’ and I wholeheartedly endorse the sentiments but personally I’m very queasy about the whole thing. The fabric (or a large part thereof) of buildings that look old needs to be actually old. For me it just doesn’t work if five buildings arranged in proximity to each other look old but are all just new.
@martinmartiini keep Marbella out of it you old DOG.
The buildings are all beginning to ‘soften’ and mature now which is good. However what is not so good is that it remains a vast building site while the next phases are being built. Also, there are already many empty retail outlets and if Poundbury is to be a truly outstanding success these shops need to be offered at vastly reduced introductory rates to retailers selling a wide variety of interesting goods as well as basic necessities.
Its called New Urbanism , and PC was ahead of his time in promoting it. That said I’d like to see these ideas applied somewhere more urban—-at the end of the day this is a suburb of a nice market town. To those who say it looks incongruous , I say give it time. I think the buildings will age much better than the modernist monstrosities which blight so many UK towns and cities
Quite agree, would prefer cutting edge design like Holland’s new builds, for instance but we in the UK seem to lag behind. This was a bold move by Prince Charles, and it is quite a lovely place to live. That is, when the infrastructure of shops is put in place and working.

what a shame that this energy and useful ideas about community and materials could not have been applied to some really interesting and creative new design. Historicism done with bad workmanship and modern industrial materials always looks third rate.
@chrisdoyle0890
And what kind of design does work in the modern world?
wot? no people ….. but lots of cars
Beautiful town!!
i am currently researching this project and i have to say that although in pictures Poundbury looks good and is based upon ideas which alot may like, living there and being there is different it has the feeling of the Truman Show about it, i like the ideas behind the design and like Leon Krier but i believe this design no longer works in the modern day.
Anyone who sees something wrong with this modern town has had their mind poisoned by the cult of the bizaar.
I like it personally and agree with his HRH
not a fan of English Palladianism and classicism. I prefet an over all Tuscan/French treatement.
Prince Charles is on his way to sainthood.
but its proven that this kinda design WORKS!, gives people a sence of well being and ages well.
Looks like a really nice place to live, in 100, 200 years from now this will be a historic village. As for modern glass structures what will they be? well they wont have changed abit.. boring if u ask me.
And much of it looks like Last of the Summer Wine should be filmed there.
Some of us like modern design AS WELL AS older designs.
There’s a better way to design things, surely.
I don’t want Richard Rogers designing my community, although I love many of his buildings, nor do I want Leon Krier doing it, though I love many of his too.
I think this whole thing about the best way to design proper communities, with real spirit, has much further to go. Neither Krier nor Rogers have the answer.
Much as I love timeless, classic design, and much as I really, really want to like Poundbury, no matter how much I look at it, I can’t help but dislike it. It’s twee, and probably a mistake to have it all designed by one architect’s vision trying to inject variety into it – it just doesn’t work. It’s a hotch-potch that doesn’t work, rather than an organic variety that does work.
What a piece of crap. It’s hard to believe from this that we live in the 21st century…..
The Prince is correct, imagine if this housing was built in the modernist style? It would all have to be torn down within the next few decades, this could remain standing for centuries.
Beautiful spot to live.
Fantastic. Good on Prince Charles.
The EcoTools brush set seems wonderful; the fact that it’s well, eco friendly.
