Urban Space | Proposed Public Square The Proposed View into the newly created square, which continues the sequence of spaces along Gibb Street. The activities already contained within the existing urban fabric have been revealed, bringing a greater variety of people and activities into contact with each other. This overlapping has contributed to the success of the Custard Factory, and the proposals intended extend this character into the grain beyond

Co.LAB Collaborative Laboratory is an interdisciplinary architecture & design initiative within the school. We explore issues of ‘liveness’ – the relevancy of the applied arts to society today. We like to challenge the limits and crossovers between disciplines and develop new creative practices, exploring contemporary issues that affect our urbanised environments.

Co.LAB this year welcomed the additions of interiors, product and furniture design to our other disciplines of architecture and landscape. Our projects were presented in the most varied range of formats to date

Welcome to our renowned end of year exhibition featuring the work of our Architecture, Landscape Architecture, Interior Architecture and Design, and Product and Furniture Design students.

As ever it’s been a very exciting year in the School and the student work on display is looking terrific! The various year groups and design studios are marking their individual identities with fantastic combinations of thinking, drawing, and making, a real characteristic of the School. It’s also been very rewarding for us to see our students grow as people, prepare themselves for the outside world, and perhaps mostly importantly, enjoy themselves…..most of the time!

As a School we never stand still and continue to innovate.

We launched a Part Time course in Interior Architecture and Design at SHAPE in Hong Kong to supplement our existing full time programme and also validated a full time Interior course at the Malaysian Institute of Art in Kuala Lumpur.

We are launching a new Foundation course in Architecture and Design from September and are also in the process of

validating a new BA (Hons) Design Management pathway as an option for our 3rd year students as well as students from elsewhere.

We also appointed our first Visiting Professor, Les Postawa, a renowned structural engineer who heads up the Thornton Tomasetti London office. Les has been the structural engineer for 3 Stirling Prize winning projects, the Centenary Building with Stephen Hodder, Madrid Barajas airport with Richard Rogers, and MAXXI in Rome with Zaha Hadid.

We had some notable retirements and departures in the shape of Professor Richard Coles, Mark Cowell, and Professor Lubo Jankovic, all of whom gave long, distinguished service to the School, we thank you for your contributions. We also said goodbye to Julia Bloomfield who as the School’s first Student Success Adviser was of invaluable help in supporting our students, we wish her luck in her new job and career.

I’d like to thank everyone who has contributed to the School this year including the core staff team, visiting tutors, specialist tutors, volunteer critics, workshop staff, colleagues

in ADM and across the University and work placement practices who have hosted over 100 of our Architecture, Landscape and Interior Design students. We are privileged to have such support.

Finally, thank you to the generous sponsors of prizes and events. There are far too many to mention here but special thanks as ever to Ibstock who continue to sponsor the MArch trip to New York, and to Niyaa People and Interface for their sponsorship of the Summer Ball.

I hope you enjoy the work and incredible talent on display and take the opportunity to network with staff, students, colleagues and alumni, and enjoy what has become THE not-to-miss event in the regional Architecture and Design calendar.
