Capital design guidelines.: W93-78/2023E-PDF
"The Capital Design Guidelines is a reference tool for designers and decision-makers in the National Capital Region. The document sets out the National Capital Commission's (NCC's) expectations for the design of important places and buildings in the region. Simply put, these guidelines offer a clear and common understanding of design excellence. They will help us create a thriving, meaningful, and inspiring Capital for generations to come. The NCC is the federal planning and coordinating agency for the National Capital Region. As such, we protect the character and national significance of the Capital, and continually strive to make it better for everyone. The Capital Design Guidelines help us achieve that goal. The guidelines are a working collection of advice and direction, best practices, and aspiration. They are tailored to the Capital context and apply to Capital-building projects. They cover the most critical aspects of the Capital's composition and character. They also cover specific themes, like bird-safe design, gender-based analysis plus and universal accessibility. They will continue to grow and expand as needed"--Provided by publisher.
