The proposed vision for the revitalisation of the Meadows area includes the addition of a culinary school, research institute and library which would help to create a lively and vibrant environment within the community by providing opportunities for research, entrepreneurship and innovation.
The concept of nodes and connections refers to the idea that the architecture of the site serves as a “node” that connects different elements of the community through engagement and outreach. The main connection for these nodes is through the creation of an urban oasis that connects the architecture to its surrounding environment.
A vibrant and accessible space is created through the incorporation of organic irregularity that adds an element of natural beauty and unpredictability to the design, creating a space that is both visually appealing and engaging for all.
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.
