Introduction
Overview
Embedded in Leeds School of Architecture’s
ethos is the way we continuously question
what it means to practice, as well as our
determination to test and expand – via
our distinct framework of experimental
and ethical pedagogy – architecture’s
possibilities and responsibilities within
societies, across cultural systems and
towards the shared environmental and
ecological domains. Beyond the conventional
understanding of architectures based on
building, interior and landscape studies, our
courses explore the concept of ‘architecture
as multiplicity’, unfolding intersections
with other disciplines and with its
mediated, digitised, coded, augmented and
hybridised existences along with the radical
potential of new forms of thinking and
making. Dynamic engagements empower
students and academics in the Leeds
School of Architecture to develop work that
tackles the most pressing and polemical
issues within our society nationally and
internationally. The school’s diverse and
collective outputs as demonstrated in
the 2023 SHOW, including experimental
practices, academic writings, technological
innovations, laboratory and field works, live
projects, pedagogical research, design and
educational processes, are regularly shared
and debated, connecting courses, research
communities and activities in other subject
areas across the university and beyond.

Overview
How to begin the study of architecture? As Joan Ockman explained, “what most
distinguishes architecture education from other types of professional and
graduate training is its syncretic nature … it combines technics and aesthetics,
sciences and the humanities” (Ockman, 2012).
This academic year, BA1 aimed at an integration between theory and practice
by establishing a common conceptual agenda among the different modules:
‘Elements of Architecture’. Elements of architecture were not understood
in the traditional way inherited from 19th century architectural education—
when architectural elements were reduced to simple geometries to aid the
codification of the architectural project by means of composition. Instead, the
use of ‘elements’ encouraged students to look at the city and the architectural
project as a complex construct that goes beyond its mere formal characteristics
and poses experiential, social, cultural, or political questions.
The academic year started with a series of surveys across the city of Leeds, it
continued by investigating displaying techniques and concluded by placing the
focus on non-Eurocentric users. ‘Elements’ might not have been the same among
the different modules, however, they became operative devices to be explored
through different—technical, linguistic, theoretical—frameworks, ultimately
instrumentalised at the design table.

Overview
The CITYzen Agency studio situates its explorations in overlooked places.
We consider global imperatives and local issues together, exploring their
interconnection and consequence of each on the other. By understanding
resources within the community and considering techniques of engagement we
become receptive to their effects on design process.
This year, working alongside Interior Architecture students our explorations
began with an appraisal of collaboration, investigating how a group design and
build project could lead to enhanced integration. This led final year students
to consider the role of Leeds Beckett as an Anchor Institution within Leeds,
and how higher education providers could better serve the communities they
neighbour. In semester 2, second year students worked with Leeds Sustainable
Development Group to propose ideas for a new ‘House of Architecture’ on The
Calls, with a remit of encouraging discussions and consultation on placemaking
and urban development within the West Yorkshire region.
The CITYzen Agent constructs a design methodology that generates an urban
assemblage which explores and communicates ideas of architectural intervention
and invention, proposing socially, economically and environmentally resilient
solutions for a brave new world.
Our praxis is derived from Bruno Latour’s term, ‘critical attention is shifted from
architecture as a matter of fact to architecture as a matter of concern’.

Regenerative Ecologies
Tutor
Ian Fletcher
01
Overview
Regenerative Ecologies look at how, why, and where we interface and engage
with natural systems, i.e., human, and non-human processes, and infrastructure
in our daily lives.
The studio is interested in nature as a controversial ecology between human, and
non-human organisms in a changing climate. How does a changing environment
affect this relationship between human and non-human organisms? The studio
examines the concept of ecology and the concept of habitation as contested
spaces of communal activity.
Based on research, field studies and forensic analysis projects are developed
through the production of models, narratives, and prototypes. Regenerative
ecologies rethink the culture-nature divide to provide new ways in modern
thinking and living.
The studio aims to contest this framework of knowledge that has deadlocked
nature and culture, tradition, and modernity, scientific and indigenous to make a
case for rethinking architecture beyond the nature-culture divide. What will the
future demand in the emergence of a changing climate and how will it shape our
attitude towards architecture and urbanism?
The studio aims to re-consider and re-imagine new relationships among living
organisms in a changing environment. And in doing so present a new dialogue
for the value of rethinking architecture beyond this division.

Overview
The studio projects were based in Brick Lane London, exploring the following
propositional themes:
• Research into the cultural manifestations of political entities, with
students critically defining their own position.
• Exploration the spatial systems through which political
organisations could manifest themselves.
• Exploration and engagement in a dialogue with a defined urban
context
• Exploration of how an architectural language, can represent the
ideals and values of the defined organisation within a particular
culture.
• Exploration of sustainable methodologies.
Live-build: St Chads Broomfield Cricket Club
Parallel with the above the studios long term community engagement project
a new self-built cricket pavilion for the St Chads Broomfield Cricket Club, broke
ground in April, with the superstructure being completed by volunteers from the
club and university over the two-week easter vacation.

The Land In-Between
Tutor
Ashley Caruso

Overview
The Land In-Between studio searches for answers between Portugal’s urban and rural
settings, laying the foundation to explore the inevitable impermanence of built form and
those that use it.
The ‘ruin’ forms the starting point of all projects, where reimagined and reinterpreted spatial
sequences, often filmic, allows students to explore the potential for integration of new
cultural infrastructure. The studio encouraged new modes of representation, particularly
of the architectural drawing, mediating between filmic, diagramatic and imagined realms.
Third year projects are set between two locations - the urban, Lisbon, and the rural, Santa
Clara-a-Velha, a small rural village in southern Portugal. Defined through site specific
research, projects independently draw upon cultural, political, historical, dystopian and
even folkloric scenarios. From Mackenzie’s sensitively poetic reconnection to water
in a region where access to water is limited by the government, to Ruth’s reuse of the
pigmented terracotta landscape in a tile making facility for criminal rehabititation.
Second year students in Semester 1 explored the dense urban fabric of Mouraria in Lisbon’s
historic settlement; the birthplace of quotidian Fado music. In Semester 2, students were
located across the expansive Ilha do Farol (Island of the Lighthouse). Projects explored
‘retreat’ during the out of season months.
Fieldwork experiments documented and examined traces of built existence as a type of
visual ethnography study. We examined everyday life between the urban and rural, not
the monumental or heroic, but the commonplace of daily life routines; the embedded
memories of both city and countryside that can exemplify cultural vernacular. Everyday
life was used to critique and judge our decisions by and to recreate ‘scenarios’ in our site
environment to draw out new narratives.
We set out to reanimate the rural and to document the ‘ruin; as a method of forming site
specific interventions. As a starting point, we examined cultural repair in built form to
understand the sequence of modifications that have happened to localised vernacular over
time. Students extracted those ‘scenes’ that have undergone a succession of independent
renovations and expansions, and to interpret the traces of built form as they are found.
The Land In-Between studio is distinct in its search for analogue ways of representing
information; experimenting with processes that leave our traces imprinted onto each stage
of the process. Through making and curation - we have explored design as a consequence;
an interconnected sequence of additions over time. Students worked in the peripheries
between film, print, casting, projection and drawing.
The projects seek to rethink, reframe and redraw spatial concerns that lie in the space
between built and human traces.

REVIVE! / RESOURCE!
Tutor
James Harrington
01
Overview
Studio REVIVE / RESOURCE explored architecture’s role and potential in the
shaping of our cities and communities through the sequential projects of
REVIVE! (Semester 1, BA2 + BA3, Tutor: Naina Gupta) and RESOURCE! (Semester
2, BA2 + BA3). Students’ projects were located across London’s Southbank and in
the Highfield area of Sheffield, demonstrating varied approaches to revival and
resourcing communities which come from these different contexts.
A number of methods were used to lead the investigation of our projects and
design responses. Semester 1 started with students responding to their project
location with the provocations of: the individual (mind + body), the community,
the river and the city (and its inhabitants). Provocations, experiments and
inspirations of their emerging projects were collected akin to a ‘cabinet of
curiosities’, and developed into architectural responses in the form of sketch
schemes. In Semester 2 we studied everyday objects as dialogical devices: taking
time to look deeper at objects and using them as opportunities to have deeper
dialogue towards meaningful issues, and develop the narrative of our emerging
projects. We studied and designed our own objects to engage in these dialogues,
and considered these same dialogues at community, infrastructure, and urban
scales.
Students extended the intent of these functional and dialogical objects into
architectural proposals which demonstrate the possibilities of community
infrastructures: Coffee tables become an analogy of negotiated spaces between
multiple community enterprises; Toilets are used to illustrate the need for better
public facilities activated through a city-wide crazy golf festival; Skatable objects
develop into a facility for DIY interventions enabling the skate community to
safeguard the festival spirit of the Southbank; Studies of chairs are used to
communicate formal and informal activity reflected in productive combinations
of programmes such as adult learning with play, and archiving oral histories
with social spaces.

Overview
Cityzen Agency studio is a creative and ethical activist environment for
students to act as a ‘force for good’. Regenerative Built Environments refers
to a holistic process of reimaging existing urban infrastructure for the benefit
of its communities and to ensure a net positive impact on natural systems.
Live Projects offer a different way of learning from the normative Design Studio
experience. It is live learning and it is unpredictable. Students and academics
have to think on their feet and work collectively as priorities shift in an everevolving
process.
Project 1 - Edmund N. Bacon Urban Design Awards, Philadelphia, USA
We start each academic year by entering an international design ideas
competition. This year’s competition, set in Philadelphia, reimagined its
Chinatown district. Four teams of students from architecture and urban design
disciplines entered the competition. One entry called The Chinatown Inquirer
won second prize and was presented at the awards ceremony in Philadelphia.
Project 2 – Buttershaw Live Project, Bradford
Buttershaw is a post-war council estate, and has been lacking a defined centre
since it was built. Working with the community, students have developed a range
of co-design proposals that express the needs of the community and also suggest
many possible futures. The work will be used to inform a real-life development
that will be managed by Project Office, our school-based architecture practice.
Project 3 – Adaptive Re-use in Scarborough
Adaptive re-use refers to the process of reusing an existing building or structure
for a purpose other than which it was originally built or designed for. Although
Scarborough has been committed to arresting its decline as a tourist resort
for some time, students have formed urban and architectural propositions to
speculate on how Scarborough’s renaissance can continue to evolve through
adapting what is already there.

Overview
Cape Coral, Florida - Boomtown That Shouldn’t Exist
Swamp Peddlers Selling the Dream of a Waterfront Wonderland
This year the studio investigated an obscure city in southwest Florida that was
founded by two brothers in 1957 as a planned community. Originally marketed as
a “Waterfront Wonderland” to future northern retirees, Cape Coral was created
by dredging and filling an existing mangrove swamp into over 400 miles of manmade
canals. Such a massive transformation of the land and waterscapes not
only eliminated a natural hurricane barrier, but also caused ecological devastation
and a lack of biodiversity.
Making matters worse, the city of 120 square miles (310 km2) was laid out with the
intention to maximize residential lots. Little consideration for commercial areas
or pedestrian walkways left the largely elderly populace dependent on vehicles in
order to move around the sprawling city.
Cape Coral, thus could be defined in multiple ways as a non-place based on the
theoretical propositions of Marc Augé. Our investigations, therefore, questioned
if it were possible to shift the perceptions of a city dominated by sprawl and the
automobile into a place or a series of places through non-conventional modes of
enquiry.
Conventional design approaches which produced obvious solutions were not
considered valid vehicles of questioning. The fundamental challenge of the
intellectual explorations of the studio, therefore, was to seek more obscure ways
in which designing for the present and (a hypothetical) future simultaneously.
With Hurricane Ian hitting landfall just a few miles away in September 2022, the
students were confronted from the start to think about climate change in very
immediate terms. With hurricanes increasing in strength and frequency, students
were asked to speculate how their proposals would survive the treats of torrential
rain, high force winds and storm surge into the distant future.
To meet such a challenge whilst avoiding preconceived tendencies of place
making, the students were obliged to demonstrate a willingness to step outside
his/her comfort zone – to be displaced. Theoretical, historical, political, and
socio-economical readings from a broad spectrum of intellectual positions were
orchestrated in order to implement a strategy of displacement as the means of
enquiry.

Overview
This year’s studio Future Others envisaged innovative spatial tactics and
arrangements that sup-port cultural production in the near future as a catalyst
for social and political betterment in the Greek city of Elefsina
(Eleusina).
Elefsina
Elefsina is a port town, with industrial heritage and history of migrations,
sailors, voyagers, sex workers and marginal groups. Elefsina is known for ancient
religious rituals held for the cult of Demeter and Persephone.
Currerntly, Elefsina is one of the European Cities of Culture 2023.
The Future of Cultural Institution - Designing for Minorities
We designed from the bottom-up, imagined a culture produced by people from
the margins whose personal and collective histories remain largely unheard and
untold in Europe today - elders, women, migrants, non-binary and others.
Intangible Commons – New Architectures
We identified intangible cultural practices and cultural commons - processions,
carnivals, mysteries, rituals, community gatherings, and social events.
We looked for solutions that will go beyond a building in the narrow sense
of the word, as we explored spatial arrangements varying from ephemeral to
monumental, including visual, performative or aural expressions of architecture.
Constructing Future Cultural Ecologies
Such redefined cultural institutions are encouraged to form broader ecologies,
micro economies, to be regenerative, adaptive, and responsive to social issues.
They seek to achieve a balance with the environment, thus setting premises for
a future which is progressive and circular.

Overview
REPAIR, RE-USE AND RE-IMAGINE: TO DESIGN A COMMUNITY CLOTHING OR FOOD
HUB. THE FORMER YORK RD LIBRARY & BATHS.
The cost-of-living crisis is biting hard, and many communities are struggling to
make ends meet. Many people need to decide whether to eat or to turn on the
heating.
The project explores ‘repair as design’ through a series of activity spaces where
people can learn, share, or swap life skills and grow/make/provide food or clothing
to supplement the high cost of living and help to build a resilient community.
Cambridge English Dictionary definition of community:
“People living in one particular area or people who are considered as a unit
because of their common interests, social group, or nationality.”
Students explore their interpretation of ‘community’ and enrich their briefs in
response to this particular location in Leeds.
“An estimated 336,000 tonnes of clothing goes to landfill each year in the UK.”
Students create, within established parameters, a brief inspired by film, and
develop a design scheme engendering informed sensitivity to an existing
building fabric and the external wasteland.
As a starting point, students designed and constructed Architectural Headpieces
in response to their films and as a description of protest.

Overview
Second year interior architecture and design challenges students to work on
projects at different scales, the micro and macro; with particular focus on
materiality and detailing.
Semester 1
Students worked collaboratively with colleagues in BA2 Architecture to detail,
construct and deconstruct a 1:1 scale demountable Folly. Students were
challenged to develop new ideas for folly, one which speaks to the issues of today;
promoting discussion and awareness of climate emergency, political activism
and an individual’s mental and physical wellbeing through a reconnection with
nature and landscape. The concept and form were developed collaboratively
through group work, which considered each segment to be individually designed
and made.
The project aimed to demonstrate the creative use of timber from tree species
that are under threat from diseases. UK ash trees have become victims of a
die-back disease (Chalara) causing a serious decline of the ash tree population.
Ash supplied for the folly was from Foxwood Forestry, a managed forest in
southern England where trees showing early signs of ash dieback are removed
as a preventative measure to make use of the timber before the wood becomes
unworkable.
Semester 2
The live project focussed on the adaptive re-use of a former worsted mill in Old
Town, West Yorkshire. Students were tasked with developing a brief, building
programme and design proposal for part of the mill complex, working alongside
existing residential elements of the scheme already under construction.

Overview
This year’s Level 6 Major Project is located in Temple Works, the Grade I listed
building in Holbeck, a large urban area South-West of Leeds city centre,
currently undergoing a major regeneration. The scale of the building, and its
unusual structural configuration, present a unique set of spatial and technical
challenges, but also exceptional opportunities.
Opened in 1840, Temple Works, thought to be one of the largest rooms in the
world, was an impressive piece of civil engineering conceived as an open-plan
space covered by sixty-six flat domes, each with a conical skylight and supported
by hollow cast-iron columns. Used for less than 50 years as a flax factory, it
has subsequently hosted multiple occupancies, which, together with lack of
maintenance, led to its deterioration.
Temple Works is presently being restored, having been chosen as the site
for the British Library North. Within these parameters, students have been
encouraged to problematise the role of heritage strategies in urban imagination
and production; speculate on new and alternative uses for existing industrial
structures; and critically engage with the politics of culture-led regeneration.
Substantial individual research projects, together with rigorous design
investigation, allowed students to grapple with these issues from a theoretical
as well as practical perspective. In parallel, students were asked to examine
and question standardised conceptions of space and time through adopting
alternative approaches to the design of interiors. Informed by their selfnegotiated
research topic and critical analysis of the allocated site, students
have defined a range of interior programmes that subsequently led onto the
formulation of self-generated design briefs. Asked to focus on a social agenda,
they have come up with unexpected and unprecedented programs that can
not only repurpose Temple Works, but also create radically transformed and
inclusive interiors for the present Leeds.

Overview
The studio-based modules at Level 4 introduce students to the elements of
the design process, developing their skills and enabling them to undertake in
its entirety a relatively simple design project by the end of the level. Graphic
techniques, including an introduction to landscape related digital software
for communicating the design process and solution are integral to these
modules. They are supported by contextual modules which develops students’
understanding of the natural and cultural landscape and a technology module
which focuses on plants as a key design medium for the landscape architect.

Semester one
Introduces students to the core concept of place, heightening awareness of
environment, its characters, and the natural and human processes that shape
its evolution. The method of observing, recording and initial analysing of place is
through the practice of drawing and key graphic communication skills essential
to the practice of landscape architecture. Other modules study elements of
geology, soil, ecology and some of the major landscape changes that have been
brought about by human society through history.
Their first design studio explores the three-dimensional nature of design by
developing a project from concept to resolution. Exploring abstract concepts,
spatial development, model making, and material palette.
Semester 2
Further into the year design studio modules develop a more comprehensive
landscape design resolution. Focusing on an area within an urban environment
exploring the integrated nature of design with people in the environment.
Emphasis is placed on developing an understanding of design processes,
response to site, brief formulation, concept development through to visual
communication of design ideas through to basic design resolution involving
construction and planting design.

Overview
Level 5 studio modules of the accredited Landscape Architecture and Design
course introduce students to design challenges in both rural and urban
landscapes that may commonly be faced in professional practice. They equip
the students with knowledge, experience and confidence to tackle the complex
environmental challenges presented by our evolving landscape. The design
modules are supported by a technology module which develops the students’
skills in selecting and designing within hard and soft material palettes, and
a contextual module providing an un-derpinning of landscape principles and
theories.
This year students explored the introduction of a visitor facility in the wild,
iconic rural land-scape of Northumberland in the vicinity of World Heritage
site Hadrians Wall: its appropriate placement in and materials used to create
a distinctive but sensitive, well considered interven-tion. For inspiration
they visited the established visitor centre and associated acitivies at Keilder
Forest to the north to explore possibilities. The second design based module
explored housing development in Adel on the outskirts of Leeds. Based on a
live development site, stu-dents analysed its approach to placemaking being
sensitive to past influences whilst looking forward to future demands. Inspired
by visiting Citu, in Leeds, they explored ways to create a well integrated, more
community based sustainable solutions. The second element of this module
analysed the landscape and visual impacts, using practice based methodologies,
of their proposals.
In the second semester the modules were concentrated in more urban locations
in the City of Bradford and the exciting preparations for the cities City of Culture
in 2025. The first of which, a cross discipline module with Planning students
investigated the potential to create a sense of place within the proposed City
village to the north east of the city centre. Teams explored ways in which to
create well integrated inspirational landscapes utilising the re-prioritising movement
routes and changes in land use. The desire to reduce private transport in
the city provid-ed the opportunity to remove or re-purpose buildings to create
a distinctive urban heart to the district. The final design module of the year
explored the detailed design of a small area of their Masterplan proposals to
demonstrate how the strategic aspirations can be maintained through attention
to detail at the detailed design and specification stage.

Overview
The focus in Level 6 is to enable landscape students to demonstrate their acquired
design skills through a culminating double module specialist design project. This
requires high levels of critical awareness and reflection, attributes that are also
fundamental to the Project Report. In addition to these, two modules focus on
the professional nature of the discipline through a live community-based project.
A Professional Context module prepares students for professional practice by
enhancing their critical awareness of landscape architecture through a reflective
portfolio and opportunities to focus on the students’ individual strengths and
interests and/or learning needs.
The accredited undergraduate landscape course at Leeds Beckett provides the
foundation for perceptive, creative, confident and effective landscape architects
who display initiative, enterprise and independence of mind. Collaboration with
other disciplines such as Architecture, Interior Architecture and Planning students,
work on live community-based projects, external speakers from the profession build
diverse knowledge exploring the breadth of our subject.
The final year get involved in a ‘live’ Design and Community project which examines
the concepts of communities in landscape design. This year we have had a distinct
project, our Landscape Resource Centre in the Headingley Campus. The client was
the university Estate, who defined the main aims as: a) to improve the access to
the main entrance; b) to revise and propose better access and pathways within
the garden, and c) to propose new ideas for a sensory/edible garden that could
serve local staff and students. Through the module, students practiced community
consultation and questionnaire surveying. The students presented their final design
at the garden for their client, and local residents and staff.
In the first semester, students wrote a dissertation within two research strands:
a) Climate change, and b) Urbanism, Health, and Resilience. The research topics
ranged from heat mitigation to biophilic ideas for Leeds. With this research, the
students chose a site for their major design studio in semester 2 (LA604-5) and
implemented their research into design solutions in different sites in Leeds.
Regarding LA606 (Professional Practice), this module is focused on the culmination
and professional presentation stage of the specialist design project LA604/5 and in
developing a professional profile in readiness for employment. It prepares students
for professional practice by enhancing their critical awareness of landscape
architecture. This academic year, we had Speed Mentoring event for the first time.
We invited landscape practices to introduce themselves, and our students visited
their offices for three days to gain work experience before graduation.

Overview
The Cities Alive Nature Based Design Studio (LA703) explores the character and
quality of city spaces and promotes radical approaches to green space planning
and design. The intention is to develop, in cities, design prototypes for green
infrastructure that are persuasive, innovative, sustainable, and will create
inspiring places to live in. Cities Alive Rethinking Green Infrastructure ARUP 2014
provides an introduction and design studio reader.
The Cities Alive Nature Based Design Studio develops proposals in ‘live’ situations
and current projects involving conceptual & strategic design as well as on more
immediate interventions. This year, following discussions with Bradford City
Council and their recent City of Culture 2025 status, we have based the studio in
Esholt to the north of Bradford. The Esholt proposals aim to be a sustainability
flagship for Bradford and Yorkshire Water, providing examples of how green
approaches can deliver lasting benefits for existing and future inhabitants and
contribute to alleviating the impact of climate change.
In recent year’s city policies on biodiversity, green infrastructure and green space
planning have been formulated particularly in relation to addressing the issues
associated with climate change. In cities around the world much attention has
been paid to the planning of green space and traditional design concepts are
being challenged in the 21st century in relation to both major development
projects and more locally based regeneration initiatives.
Green infrastructure is of course only one aspect of the planning and design
process relating to urban environments but does have an essential contribution
to make, particularly in respect of climate change and impacts on biodiversity. It
is therefore a key generator of city form and in particular of residential settings,
a standpoint that is taken in this design studio.
This studio forms a core part of both the MA and PGDip qualifications which are
both fully accredited by the Landscape Institute.

Overview
Our post graduates come from both UK and international backgrounds and
have embraced environmental issues, working on solutions from responses
to rising sea levels, rehabilitating culverted watercourse to new visions for
green spaces from Nigeria to Castleford. Students choose these major design
projects during their studies and this work is underpinned by other modules
such as Cities Alive, Contemporary Landscape Architecture and personal
research. This studio covers key theory and practice contexts with emphasis
on developing sustainable, environmentally led landscape design proposals.
The Post Graduate course provides advanced level study in Landscape
Architecture and extends the experience of undergraduate education. The
course encourages all students to further develop their abilities to become
perceptive, creative, confident and effective landscape architects with
independence of mind and a system of values that recognises human needs,
cultural diversity and environmental awareness.
Our Masters and Post Graduate Diploma courses are accredited by the
Landscape Institute and lead towards becoming fully professionally qualified.
The course offers great flexibility with full and part-time options for students
from a wide range of backgrounds and stages of life. There is exceptionally
high demand for landscape architect graduates in the workplace; the challenge
now is for universities, landscape practices and the Landscape Institute to
work together communicating the growing importance of the profession and
attract a passionate and new generation of landscape architects.

Copenhagen
BA (Hons) Architecture and BA (Hons) Interior Architecture and Design students have
recently returned from a fieldtrip to Denmark’s capital city, Copenhagen.
The group spent four days soaking up the culture at the epicentre of ‘Scandi-Cool’ with
its enigmatic blend of contemporary architecture, creative reuse, and centuries old
history. The goal was to explore architectural design driven by a clear sustainability
agenda, with high-quality urban master planning and public green spaces.
Students visited some of Europe’s most interesting buildings, including the
impressive Danish Architecture Centre by OMA, Copenhill by BIG, and the modernist
masterpiece SAS Hotel by Arne Jacobsen.
The opportunity to physically visit examples of high-quality architecture is incredibly
important for students who are developing their own style, searching for inspiration,
and looking to gain a global perspective. This is especially important post-lockdown
as fieldtrips provide an opportunity to gain a deeper understanding of space.
_
Third year undergraduate and post graduate Landscape Architecture students visited
Copenhagen for four days in November 2022. Copenhagen is at the forefront of
planning green infrastructure for city living and students experienced this by cycling
the harbour and city centre viewing residential living, recreational waterfront leisure
and urban park development.
They also visited the university of Copenhagen landscape architecture department
to sample their learning and visit their studios and local environment. We offer a
post graduate international exchange programme with this University. We also took
the train over to Malmo in Sweden to have a glimpse of future sustainable living at
Bo01 in the Western harbour.
Northumberland
London
Lisbon
Second year undergraduate Architecture students visited Lisbon, Portugal
to explore a range of abandoned sites as a basis for their design projects in
semester one.
They explored ‘daily life’ in Portugal’s urban locations and took the opportunity
to document historic sites in the Mouraria neighbourhood of Lisbon. Through
individual and group work, students collated their findings through experimental
analogue and digital methods.
Whilst here, students examined the commonplace of daily life routines and
memories of the city.
Mouraria is the birthplace of Fado music, a traditional Portuguese sound that
developed as a communal documentation of life, but also as a political message
during the dictatorship regime. Although the area has a lot investment, there
are pockets that remain neglected and in need of cultural infrastructure.
The trip coincided with the Lisbon Architecture Triennale at the Centro Cultural
de Belém Foundation (CCB), which helped to define the importance of contextual
and ecological relationships with site, and reinforced the practice of curating
artefacts, film, and narrative.
Ilha do Farol
Students visited a small remote island off the coast of Faro, Portugal - Ilha do
Farol.
They were asked to investigate ‘retreat’ as an opportunity to develop the island
‘out of season’.
Students spent two days documenting the island by boat, by foot, and via satellite
imagery. They were also encouraged to use modern methods of documentation,
such as social media: Instagram, TikTok, etc.
Soil, sand, fragments, vegetation, tiles, objects were all collected to use as a
basis for design projects. Film was used to document direct experience, which
was later juxtaposed with existing filmic representation in order to re-animate
or reinterpret scenes of activity.
Methodical studies documented local vernacular on the island - low rise holiday
houses made from simple building methods and adapted over time.
Finally, students traced ruins across the island, from ex-military structures in
Hangares, to abandoned fisherman buildings.
Robin Hoods Bay
First year landscape architecture spent a three autumnal sunny days
sketching in Robin Hoods Bay. It was a great way to observe, explore a
place, and get to know new fellow students that will share the next three
years together on their degree course. Sketching allows time to peel back
the layers, from its natural, cultural and perceptual qualities that make up
this richness of place
Santa Clara-a-Velha
Undergraduate Architecture students visited rural Portugal twice, once in each
semester, to work on their third year design projects.
They explored ‘ruin’ and ‘daily life’ in Portugal’s rural inland village of Santa Claraa-Velha
in the Alentejo region. Students conducted fieldwork and experimental film
recording devices to explore traces of the ‘ruin’.
While here, students examined the commonplace of daily life routines; the embedded
memories of both city and countryside.
The main site at Santa Clara-a-Velha is railway station that has roughly four stops per
day, becoming empty in the in-between hours. Students explored the positive need for
cultural infrastructure within the site and immediate surroundings.
On the second fieldtrip back to the site, students reapplied their early research films
back onto the site, as a way to reactivate scenes from both past and future.
Throughout the trip, experimental techniques of recording were used to help question
their own notion of what rural means and what it can become.
On their experience, one student shared:
“The trip to the rural town Santa Clara wasn’t what I had expected, it was a beautiful
rural place with friendly Portuguese residents. The parallel between the urban and
rural gave us the opportunity to explore how daily life can be experienced as a result
of ‘place’. It is a shame that places like Santa Clara become neglected and eventually
become abandoned towns. I am very much looking forward to proposing a scheme that
helps to rebalance some of the cultural differences between the two locations.”

A ficto-heritage approach to in-situ

Authors
Matthew Haycocks
Website
http://www. fictoheritage.com
Heritage practices are neither neutral nor innocent, instead they can be seen to sustain
dominant narratives about the present while repressing other possible interpretations.
Heritage’s mechanisms for the transmission of ideas about the past always veil a threefold
absence: an absence of the past itself; an absence in the archive; and absences in the
telling as a heritage narrative. This research project adopts an experimental approach
to the interpretation of ‘real photo postcards’ of absent buildings. The approach
developed in part from Michel de Certeau’s discussion of the narrative construction
of the historical record; various strategies use by micro-historians to document the
everyday; and the work of artists who explore the quotidian. The project combines
found texts and images with the fictive and aims to explore the way in-situ photographic
displays may become a creative tool for contesting and re-imagining the present.

The Future Narrative exhibition features architectural proposals that draw upon speculative
ideas taken directly from science fiction authors to create projects that visualise
what those possible futures might be. The drawings, models and animations featured
in the exhibition are thought experiments driven by a need to address real world problems
but using speculative concepts to represent them.
CLEAR + PARK’s Chthonopolis is a post-scarcity, post-singularity society heavily influenced
by Iain M Banks’s Culture novels; located in the Thames Estuary and centred
around Canvey Island. Chthonopolis imagines a technologically sophisticated ludic society
based around a model of collaboration and egalitarianism where the virtual and
the actual exist as part of the same spatial regime of everyday life.

Project Office were interviewed and included in The Architects’ Journal February
2023 edition focusing on alternative ways of practising architecture. Responding to a
changing industry, the priorities and methods of practitioners are equally diversifying.
The Project office model of a design and research collaboration of staff and students
making ethical, social and resilient architecture was critiqued. This includes only
working with like-minded communities, organisations and individuals, and always
paying students for their time either financially or through credits toward their course.
With live projects being neither design studio projects nor traditional commissions but
lying in the territory somewhere between, Project Office’s work was described as an
innovative and inspiring series of ongoing projects positively contributing to the city.

Author
Alia Fadel
High-density cities embody the human and urban capacity for sustainable and economic
growth. However, regular contact with nature remains a challenge to support the
inhabitants’ health and achieve urban green equality. Urban population lives through
accumulative stressful stimuli on daily basis affecting people health, wellbeing, productivity,
and sense of societal belonging and pleasure. Aiming at green inclusive recovery
in high-density cities, this chapter introduces Interval Biophilic Restoration (IBR) as an
integrated eco-therapy process stimulated by healing moments of multisensory encounters
with nature at diverse urban scales. It investigates the therapeutic value of
weaving threads of serendipitous stress-alleviating opportunities to support the urbanites’
physiological, psychological, and emotional health. It defines IBR as a new theoretical
contribution to the notion of Biophilia and Biophilic Cities by focusing on the curative
potentials of minor, periodic, and transitional encounters with biophilic moments
to stimulate the restorative state of healing serendipity amongst the urban population.

Harrington (Studio Polpo / Lecturer at LBU). The Project continues their collaborations
co-producing and using objects and devices as common resources. Through making
and cooking with haybox ovens - a low-energy cooking method using the foods own
heat - they invite people to share food, critical dialogues in curious, multi-modal ways,
and bring experiences, histories, and imagination to the fore.
The Public Haybox was shared with delegates at the conference Sustaining Art, Dundee,
making haybox ovens with participants from repurposed materials from a local
organisation, whilst discussing and demonstration the dialogical and action-orienated
potential of this method and project. The project recently received support from the

Strong through her postcard collection. She was a contemporary of Oscar Wilde and
Henry James. Some of the postcards are purchased as collections while others are individual
cards she sent to, or received from correspondents, in the days when postcards
were used to make polite requests, or as a thank you note. The postcards were often
addressed to her at Chatsworth House where she was librarian, or the Albermarle Club,
her London address or later, the British School at Rome. Not uncontroversial, Strong
admired Benito Mussolini’s desire for the archaeological ‘hygienic liberation’ of Rome’s
imperial monuments as well as some of his politics.

This paper deals with the use of construction toys in the development of architectural
design. It specifically considers how the act of play, through developing and playing
with a construction toy, impacts student design processes. The methodology is based
on a literature review and reflections on using construction toys with undergraduate
students of Interior Architecture and Design.
Existing research on the use of construction toys as a pedagogical tool are focussed on
a gaming approach, which requires rules, outcomes and competition. This structured
play does not embody the qualities of play which encourage analogical thinking, accidental
learning, and inclusivity. Play, in its most unstructured form can be unproductive
(no outcome), uncompetitive, and not bound by rules. The study looks at the use of
construction toys in spatial design education; specifically, the narrative of unstructured
play in students design process.
A View from Paradise: Olafur Eliasson’s
Your Rainbow Panorama
Journal
OASE 111 Journal for Architecture:
Staging the Museum (2022): 131-41
Authors
María Álvarez García (Coauthor)
Olafur Eliasson’s “Your Rainbow Panorama”, built on the rooftop of ARoS museum
in Aarhus (DK), did not only intend to complete the museum’s narrative inspired by
Dante’s Divine Comedy, but to create a specific framework to think anew. Dwelling
on the history of the panoramas and aligned with the city’s slogan for the European
Capital of Culture in 2017, “Let’s Rethink”, Eliasson constructed an apparatus, or as he
defined it, “an expectation machine”, that aimed at modifying our vision. By analysing
the ideological and historical context of “Your Rainbow Panorama”, this paper discusses
how Olafur Eliasson’s work attempted to redefine both the staging of ARoS museum
and, ultimately, the city.

Joan’s expertise is in the advancement of autism-friendly design assisting future professionals
to shape responsive enabling environments. In a world which is designed for
neuro-typical people, Joan’s autism-friendly design research helps to provide a voice
for some autistic people, whose needs are often misunderstood and overlooked.
Joan’s autism specific research papers have resulted in the innovative creation of ‘Ten
Novel Sensory Living Themes’. A selection of these themes have been incorporated
into the ‘Design for the Mind - Guide’.
“The guide comprehensively tackles challenges relating to built environment design
and neurodiversity and is the only guidance of its type supplying authoritative
guidance, with input from world leading experts and those who experience neurodiverse
conditions.” (BSI, 2022)

CIRCLE studio started of with a question: How can architecture impact beyond buildings
and more towards people? The studio was founded on three major principles: Education,
Opportunity and Inclusivity. Understanding how architecture can impact generational
change rather just project focused change. Working with communities that want to
create positive generational changes through individual and collective empowerment,
creating the game changers of tomorrow. CIRCLE studio are facilitators, storytellers
and then designers, an inter-disciplinary design, build and research collective based on
the premise of story telling, community development and impactful problem solving
through beautifully crafted, self-sustaining projects. CIRCLE studio was proud to support
and mentor alongside the RIBA the Youth Forum who set out to design an evening that
showcased and amplified the importance of exploring sustainability and the future of
the built environment. There was a range of practical hands on activities led by artists
and build environment professionals.

As part of the Cultural Olympiad in 2012 ‘OverWorlds and UnderWorlds’ curated by the
Quay Brothers, transformed the Dark Arches in Leeds. Seven years later, ‘Everything
that happened and that would happen’ directed by Heiner Goebbels was performed
in the Mayfield Depot in Manchester. Temporarily located within Victorian transport
infrastructures on the cusp of redevelopment the ‘theatres’ were ‘part performance
and part construction site’ - their access on the verge of vanishing captured, reconstituted
and materially transposed. This paper proposes the enactment of a theatrical
set through the filmic apparatus in actual, spatial situations has distinct architectural
significance. Sideways views and active assemblies of recycled and reimagined components
juxtaposing events alongside trivial anecdotes often jumbled up and out of
sequence ultimately question the transformative power of previously subordinated
and suppressed forms of occupations and expressions elevated to the sublime to offer
another-worlds.
The shortcomings of conventional
architectural design processes in
designing humanitarian settings
Author
Zaid Alawamleh
This research journey details the shortcomings of conventional architectural processes
in designing spaces for refugees. It outlines six years of pragmatic research and the
subsequent development of a human-centered behavior-setting methodology for designing
spaces in a humanitarian context. The research puts the theory of Behavior
Settings into practice within a refugee camp reconstruction project to demonstrate its
significant methodological abilities in shaping behaviors through designed spaces. The
methodology that is subsequently developed is not a substitute for architectural design
techniques but an admission of the deficiencies of their conventional process. A methodology
that enables one to fully immerse themselves in the environment, recognize
specific architectural interventions, assess their effects, and reiterate. It is a proposal
for humanizing architecture, sympathizing its processes, and personalizing its results
for the users of any space.

Following a successful 2012 London
Olympics, what happened to the Park
created to host the Games? Carved out of
a scarred, post-industrial landscape, the
Park was seen as a way of rebalancing
the city, ensuring some of east London’s
poorest areas benefitted from the
investment. Did it work? How was the Park
created, how successful has the design
been at accommodating change and what
is its legacy? Andrew Harland explores key
themes, challenges and lessons learned.
