Spiritual Lighting

500 years later, the environment was unable to cope with the consequences of technological developments and floods inundated the land up to 90 metres above sea level.

The will to inherit the industrial remains of the original site that carried human civilisation draws its inspiration for light and shadow from the simple structure of the imaging principle of the Polaroid camera. The construction of the monastery is a rebellion against the negative effects of modern technological developments and a return to the simplicity of the original industrial product.

From the perception of life in avant-garde rock to the pursuit and perception of natural light and shadow, it is hoped that the establishment of a monastery will carry the exploration of the meaning of life and idealism.

The building connects with nature through the perception of light and shadow in the ruins, thus perceiving the power of life and experiencing what it is like to truly live in this 'end of the world'.

BA (Hons) Interior Architecture and Design

Interior Architecture and Design at NTU has an incredibly long and rich history; with Interior Decoration taught at the first ever UK Art school, in the Waverley building during the 1950s.

Over the last 70 years, our programme has grown and adapted to meet the requirements of industry and social change, respond to trends, and deliver a degree which encourages students to look, think, critically appraise, and understand local and world issues amongst the principles of design.

We are a validated degree programme in which our students can join the Chartered Society of Designers, and we are members of the Interior Educators network. Our dedicated design studio in the Grade II* listed Arkwright building enables a studio culture which reflects professional practice, in a dynamic environment that challenges everyone to work collaboratively, share experiences and experiment with ideas.
