Northern Architecture’s role is to promote high quality architecture and design of public space in the North East of England. We have two main aims:
			1 To work with everyone involved in providing buildings and public spaces to achieve the highest standards of development and design.
			2 To raise public expectations about architecture and design, stimulate public debate and provide opportunities for the public to become involved in the process of making architecture and public space.

	We follow these three principles:
	Collaboration and co-learning. We will always be ready to  learn from our partners and others involved in our programmes.
	Partnership. Wherever possible we will work with other agencies to be more effective and to avoid duplication.
	Inclusiveness. We will work fairly with all people, whatever their race, class, religion, or gender.
	Northern Architecture is supported by the Arts Council of England, North East and CABE the Commission for Architecture and the Built Environment.
