Located at the interchange created by Meadow Lane Lock, Nottingham Cycle Centre is a new hub for local people and the city. Situated in a place, that connects the city and its suburbs, this new civic architecture project aims to create the facilities to encourage locals to bike throughout the city.
Whether this is through creating a place to meet and learn with family and friends, facilities to buy parts and get repairs performed, or a place to learn how to complete maintenance on your own bike, this new facility offers the infrastructure to enable the entire city to learn everything they need too in order to engage with cycling, at a highly accessible and currently underutilised location
The BArch (Hons) in Architecture course is focused on the creative and practical development of architectural design, investigated in a studio environment through a series of carefully considered practical and theoretical projects in a variety of spatial, social, cultural and topographical situations.
The purpose of the course is to align architectural concepts, thinking, techniques and values with current architectural thought and practice. It involves strategic thinking and creative imagination; problem-solving and research tasks; attention to detail and tectonic resolution; traditional and digital forms of representation; and public presentations and reviews. This course addresses the challenges of designing for diverse communities and cultures and develops Part 1 graduates with creative vision, practical skills and an ethical position in respect of the role of the architect in a globalised world.
