Interior Architecture BA (Hons)
This studio-based programme is concerned with the creative reuse, adaptation and rehabilitation of existing buildings and space. The design projects are the central vehicle for learning and are designed to stimulate and provoke imaginative responses to re-use and adaption, with an emphasis placed upon sustainability, site narratives and the poetic assembly of architectural space.
This year we are pleased to exhibit graduate work as part of Northumbria University’s Architecture, Arts, Design and Fashion collective degree show REVEAL 2022.
Projects 2020
Notions of Heritage. The question of heritage is tested through two contrasting conditions within our final year projects. One proposes change to a Grade II* Listed former Assembly House, built in the Victorian vernacular during Newcastle’s reign as a mercantile and industrial powerhouse. The other, a former pottery works, consisting of the preserved and ruinous structures as a Scheduled Monument and Grade II* Listed bottle kilns as an assemblage of buildings.
Through a shared design methodology; which includes democratised notions of beauty, community and cultural meaning; the projects test ideas on providence, aesthetic value, collective memory and worth within an urban or rural setting.
