We spent some time on the newly opened site of the University of Bristol Temple Quarter Enterprise Campus, a project that both Vaswar and I know well from working on it many years. We talked to the students about the design process from concept to detail as well as anecdotes from the project.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\">Once the rain subsided, we dried off in the beautiful sunshine. We spent time on the terrace, which was open on the day. We enjoyed the enclosure and atmosphere offered by the trees planted in the terrace.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"540\" src=\"https:\/\/sites.glos.ac.uk\/landscapearchitecture\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/159\/sites\/445\/2026\/10\/bristol1-1024x540.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-6447\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sites.glos.ac.uk\/landscapearchitecture\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/159\/sites\/445\/2026\/10\/bristol1-1024x540.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/sites.glos.ac.uk\/landscapearchitecture\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/159\/sites\/445\/2026\/10\/bristol1-300x158.jpg 300w, https:\/\/sites.glos.ac.uk\/landscapearchitecture\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/159\/sites\/445\/2026\/10\/bristol1-768x405.jpg 768w, https:\/\/sites.glos.ac.uk\/landscapearchitecture\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/159\/sites\/445\/2026\/10\/bristol1.jpg 1189w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\">We made our way towards the AD7602 site in St Philips Marsh, walking along the street all the way to Spark Evans Park, and then returning along the river.
