The Canal Spa

The Canal Spa is a haven of serenity and relaxation with breath-taking views of the river. We promote community and relationships, not only between people, but also between people and the environment. This was the motivating notion behind our building's design. We investigate how we may foster and influence the concept of 'interconnectivity' through our design.

The Nottingham Canal has had a significant impact on Nottingham's history. It was immediately established around 1796. The standard for modes of transportation. The canal symbolises how Nottingham remains connected to areas of the Midlands, and even better, the rest of the world. This concept is embodied in our building and pavilion. We are motivated by river's 'interconnectivity', and we desire the same for our visitors.

Hinduism claims that water is a sacred natural form and has therapeutic properties. We take into account this notion of healing by enabling views of the canal; with the water serving as the site's uniting element, we use it as a medium for linking people to both the environment and one another.

BArch Architecture

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.
