Stage 1 It is tempting to give the impression that everything in Stage 1 has changed this year but, whilst things might outwardly look and feel quite different, the extensive restructuring has taken care to build from the same foundational principles that have supported Stage 1 teaching at Newcastle for many years. The most obvious changes have occurred in the Semester 1 design module. The students now decant from their studios each week to undertake a series of city walks, each with a different tutor and guide, and with a particular Architectural Design skill or theoretical idea as a focus. Additionally, the walks introduce students to their new home, to key buildings within the city, to different members of staff and to one another. The walks each have a defined output and these are then employed in a short end-of-Semester design project, “Smart Small Dwelling”, which offers fledgling student designers the chance to try out their newly acquired skills, gathered during the Semester, and employ them in a context with which they have become very familiar. The students are encouraged to venture slightly further afield in a new Semester 2 project, “Prospect and Refuge”, as they undertake the design of a small contextually responsive outward-bound centre. In another departure for Stage 1, each of the ten tutor groups works on their own site and with a unique outward-bound activity as a focus. The coastal edge sites – strung along the promenade between North Shields fish-quay and the Spanish City in Whitely Bay – offer strong edges, changes in level, distant views, sandy beaches and sea air.
