1.1 Welcome to UCA! Welcome to a year of adventure of your own making. There will be lots of new things to discover. We are pleased to welcome you to the Canterbury School of Architecture and hope you are looking forward to an enjoyable and successful year.

Below is your timetable for key events during the induction week. Your course will start in earnest on Monday 17th September with a 9:30am briefing and design charette.

UCA Canterbury School of Architecture // MA Architecture // MA Interior Design // 2019-20

1.2 How will I be learning?

Practice of:

1. Studio Making, testing, experimenting, feedback, discussion 2. Reviews Time management, presentations, feedback and development 3. Seminars.

Discussing readings, opinions!

4. Writing Researching, shaping, drafting 5. Documenting Drawings, images and blog 6. Thesis Review sessions Presentations, diagramming, speaking 7. Group work Communication, collaboration, professional skills 8. Enaging, reaching out, careers Staff, peers, communities, environments, employers 1. Attendance. There is a very clear relationship between how much time you spend in studio and your chances of sucess and excellence. Its not just that you can be part of studio culture, benefit from peer learning, its about your time and focus. You have only a year with us, we hope you make the most of it.

2. Gumption. What is gumption? This is an old fashioned word in England. It means you have interest and initiative. It does not mean you have to be the best all the time, but guts, ambition, a willingness to take a risk with your work and the course as a whole, its enthusiastic engagement with eachother and your work. Learn a new word every day?!

3. Action. We will not tell you what is ‘right’ or ‘wrong’, it is about what works, or does not work. You are here to develop your skills of self evaluation and ability to work independantly, so even if you feel stuck, ask yourself, what can I do?

4. Manage your time. We will help you with this but as you progress through the course, it will become more and more about how you do this independently and sucessfully 5. Respect. We can talk a bit more about studio conduct later, but we expect you to respect and be kind and considerate to all of your fellow students and the staff members. You will get stressed at points along this journey, deadlines are not easy, but try to remain calm and focussed on getting the most out of the experience!

1. 3 What will I be doing?

During this course you will be free to identify your personal lines of enquiry, beginning with observations drawn from natural phenomena, making processes or behaviours that intrigue.

We will mis-use contemporary technologies, referencing current work in the fields of phenomenology, neuroscience, robotics, material studies, art and interactive installations. We will borrow from a long history of artistic representation, narrative performance and craft making. We will hack into consumer culture and manufactured products as and when it suits our agenda. Our work will speculate upon possible outcomes and alternate realities that have been grown from familiar contemporary technologies; but we will do so through an assimilation and expert application of making skills and artistic craft knowledge that is readily accessible in the wider UCA community.

Throughout the year, hands on, 1:1 scale prototyping will be used to design and fabricate phenomic devices and interactive installations of increasing scale and complexity. These will be used as a means with which to iteratively and intensively refine distinctive motive performances, patterns of behavior, novel forms of communication or interaction and manufactured artefacts. You will be expected to demonstrate expert knowledge of your chosen field of interest and complete mastery of your performative outcomes.

Much of your work will exhibit a time based narrative element. It is expected that you will record and document every stage of your making and testing; explaining your manufacturing processes as physical cognition where error or failure is an accepted part of learning. These records will form an important element of your peer recognition and each project portfolio.

In tandem to your prototyping work, you will be encouraged to speculatively draw, paint or simulate as a parallel means of representation of design thought. These exercises will act as an important feedback loop; cognitively dissecting your built artifacts whilst informing and forming subsequent design steps. In so doing, you will learn to extrapolate the outcomes of your prototyping to provoke and disseminate dialogue on larger scale, contextual interventions.

1. 4 Making and Research

Evolution through natural selection exists as a series of prototypes, the principle of the survival of the fittest following the phenomena of genetic mutation affecting behavior and morphology in a particular ecology. This is a principle of design making and critical understanding fundamental to the development of new work embarked upon, and as with genetic diversity, each maker finds a niche in which to flourish, developing an individual area of interest and expertise. Research develops expertise in a certain, often tiny and anonymous field, and the initial thinking is often identifying gaps in knowledge and practice which will enables mystery to develop a new moment in a field of thought and making.

As research makers we think carefully about perception and future casting, how we as a species might develop in the future, how we adapt to our particular environments as individuals. What about a post-human evolution? We question how our relationship to our environment might be mediated and augmented by technology, about how environments might go through an evolutionary process, adapting to external pressures to responsively change form, shape, colour or other physical attribute, as the fundamental principle of interactive space. As design thinkers on the edges of architecture, we have often to engage with thinking in specialist fields such as 3d-scanning, coding, cybernetics, interactive art and architecture, psychology, biochemistry, material science, behavioral science and particular aspects of engineering.

Often integral to the design process of prototyping and survival of the fittest is the slow increase in scale and ambition as a research project progress, and in tandem with the independent nature of working at odds with typical thinking, working from observation to drawing to model and to 1:1 immersive space, all the while challenging perceived thinking to achieve the most ambitious outcome. The greatest surprises and achievements have often come at unexpected moments, accidents and mutations, which create new and surprising phenomena, new species of space, let us say.

UCA Canterbury School of Architecture // MA Architecture // MA Interior Design // 2019-20

What happens over the period of an intensive research project or design process , what sinks in and sticks as real embedded skill, is often nefarious, glimpsed only by those involved in another context, when challenged anew under different circumstances and we may react more confidently, boldly and with experience. The deepest and most lifelong lessons are then sometimes felt only at a later point, when working in new contexts, the changes, are behavioral, habitual, rather than made of a particular factual learning. As animals, as species, we are inclined both to repose and industry. Often we are encouraged to think deeply, to pause in our lives and motion to let inspiration enter us like a wind. Designing through prototyping, we find the repose and ideal independent thinking occurs in the moment of making, of actively behaving and exploring through adjustment and command, the environment which surrounds us in both raw material of craft and digital potential.

Hsuan Chen

Projects started abstractly then inevitably, sometimes grudgingly, bear a debt to a site, a set of environmental conditions, and have undergone a form of adaption, arguably man’s greatest skill, and perhaps downfall, as an animal, the ability to adapt according to place. In understanding the complex ecological and spatial narratives which surround us, we shift across cultures, textures and materials to encourage a paradigm shift in praxis and attitude to praxis, we hope that our experimentation sinks into us and becomes part of our everyday behaviors for thinking and lucid practitioners moving on, to other, more intricate projects. We hope to develop skills we may have never imagined could hold value or intrigue evolve into mastery of a certain, tiny, niche.

1.1 Climates Phase 01 Geodesic

Project 01// Exploratory Practice// CARC7002// CIND7002 1.1.1 Brief

We will be building a geodesic dome on the quad at UCA which forms a canopy for an outdoors table area where we will be hosting an event

1.1.2 Requirements

You will be taking part in a full scale build project for UCA. The unversity has donated research funding for the progression of this project as the university would like to support interesting projects which help studnet learn valuable professional skills.

Rosanna Leonardi

The first project is a combination of group work, a live build project and also individual design outcomes. You will, as a team, and with other students, fabricate and assemble a large installation in the quad on the Canterbury campus of the university.

As a student involved in the project, you will be taking part in 5 design charettes, on Mondays, which will deal with different challenges to the design of the build. You will be divided into three groups each group will investigate and organise the delivery of a particluar aspect of the build. The charettes will be supported by workshops, held on Thursdays. Two weeks, week 5 and week 7, you will be expected to be in studio/ on site in the workshop every day apart from those sessions for other units. Its an internse period and you will find yourself putting quite a lot of hours in. Its an important project for the second year and really does cement you as a team. In this sense its a really great learning curve for you to understand how to work with eachother on a large, complex and challening project. The focus of the project is to help you develop the professional skills of planning. mobilisation and delivery of a project with a multidiciplinary team, as you might be doing in a professional environment, develop skills in making for future use and for collaboration in other making projects. You will be dealing with the challenges expected and unexpected in the planning and building stages and enjoying the satisfaction (and

1.2 Climates

Project 01// Exploratory Practice// CARC7002// CIND7002

17/09/18 - 18/01/19 2.1 Brief

Design a device which: 1. Uses an active technology of your chosing to explore your given climate 2. Attracts curiosity and attention through interaction.

The device needs to be interactive in some way, be a maximum of 400x400x400mm and connect to the forest table you have built. The final outcomes will be presented together, connected to the table, for your final review.

2.1 Context

The first project is a combination of group work, a live build project and also individual design outcomes. You have been working on a large scale istallation for the community of the university and this is also a place we can use as an infrastructure or site for our individual design responses to bring together for exhibition and discussion.

There is a lot of sadness the the news about the state of the planet at the moment, but how can we as spatial designers bring attention to these issues but also respond to some of the potential changes to our environment? One of the most important jobs of art and design is to attract our attention, to bring interest and attract the curiosity of a user.

Should we be super sad? How can we, as designers, help and bring attention to a particular challenge to our future lifestyles, but also celebrate and find joy in our relationship with our enviroment?

2.2 W hy a device?!

You have been given a climate as a natural conditon to develop awareness of how environment and context can influence a design and to but also as a provocative and tangiable starting point from which to depart on your own individual design journey.

Through designing a device with a perticular technoology or system, you will realise how you must engage with technique, materiality and interactivity to actively engage a user with a piece of design. We are providing a size limit so you can make smaller, more complex pieces and you will increase in scale over the next projects.

3.1 Brief

3.2 Requirements

3.3 Outcomes

To design and make a spatial experience in relation to a particular site which is immersive or interactive or both, in physical or virtual space, through 1:1 testing and prototyping.

For this project you are defining and refining the general theme of your research, working towards the main focus of your output for the end of year show, and you will be engaging more closely with ideas of context through your design work. You will be taking the most fruitful and interesting aspects of your work in the first term, being critical and evaluative of that work and selecting an aspect to take forward, to develop and adapt the research you have already progressed to a more defined investigation, again with a tangible outcome, of a 1:1 human scale work that relates to some aspect of the built environment in a particular site.

Your work will be interactive and immersive, it must be a spatial intervention responding to your site with its own environment, be it very site specific, environmentally specific, such as changes of heat or humidity, interactive with users, or change over time. The environment can be can be created through filmic, electronic, biological, chemical or kinetic means, it can engage with issues such as sustainability and heritage, but must demonstrate some kind of very specific experience, marking it out from other work that has been progressed in your field, of which you will be more and more aware as your knowledge of your chosen field improves. Be aware of what is entirely special about your work and how it develops our perception and understanding of space.

You will increase your ability to make unique and well made artifacts which address a very specific concept or design, making intuitively from the body of knowledge built up during the first semester. You might develop your skills in detailed artful fabrication, prototype and iteration development, precise computer modelling and visualisation, futurecasting, working with immersive technologies and interactive electronics through coding and circuit building, virtual reality, projection installation, film or performance.

What other fields might you start to engage with to create your own specialist niche?

Ecologists? Historians? Neuroscientists? Material scientists? Game designers? Farmers? Novelists? It is up to you how you develop your interest but it should be rich and engaged with the experimental outer realms of contemporary design thinking. Make this design niche your home and adapt to it. Also, start asking yourself, why am I doing this, this way?

UCA Canterbury School of Architecture // MA Architecture // MA Interior Design // 2018-19

Brief

Your year masters here at UCA will cumulate in a final built work which can be virtual or analogue, but is a developed spatial work which is installed in a location around the school which is agreed between the staff and students according to the opportunities and requirements of the project. These installations form the basis of the final examination, internally and externally and are ambitious works which require careful planning and execution. The installations then form part of The UCA MA Summer Show which opens at the end of the course after the internal and external examination process, alongside the other MA courses across the school and is open for a week.

Requirements

Your proposal must be space-making in some way which incudes 1:1 fabrication and extends beyond object and product/furniture to deal with space. What is crucial here is you are working towards presenting your work in an exhibition which is open to the public and forms the most important part of your assessment. So think about what you would like to present in a ‘gallery’ type space and, if your work does not immediately conform to this, how you might solve these challenges of presentation. You will also be showing some of your work on paper in frames, so you can consider what these images might be. You need to maintain your documentation blog recording your experimentation and research. This is alongside the usual portfolio submission and a consise design report and film, which will present your work in a precise and easily understood way.

Outcomes

You will develop your ability to design and deliver a full scale project through the planning and fabrication stage. Your practical work is expected to demonstrate innovation and a high level of skill and execution that directly relates to a student’s research concerns.

A coherent relationship between a sophisticated and on-going theoretical enquiry and a well-realised spatial intervention is expected, culminating in professional standard individual contributions to the MA Graduation show, supported by drawn professional level outputs to exhibit alongside your built work.

1.5 Units The structure of the course is intended to support your progressively deeper understandings of your area of investigation and the requirements reflect your developing expertise in planning and delivering complex, ambitious and professional pieces of work.

Each unit has more than one component and it is important to There are four units to the MA course, running across 3 semesters. There are the breaks of the Christmas and Easter holidays and also a semester break at the beginning of semester 3. There are two reading weeks during the term and these are times when you are expected to progress your independant learning and research but there is no formal teaching on these weeks.

1.6 Assessment Assessment will be based upon clearly identified criteria that are mapped to the learning outcomes itemised in the unit briefings. Formative feedback will be provided at each review whilst summative feedback will be given at the end of the units.

The assessment for each unit component will be explained in detail in the brief for that component, alongside the contribution of that component towards the final degree classification. All design work will ultimately be reviewed via a final portfolio submission alongside a completed final project output. Portfolios should demonstrate exemplar ordering and presentation of your individual work. They will be based upon completion of all components and all phases outlined in this and all subsequent briefs. Assessment will be based upon criteria that are mapped to the learning outcomes determined in the course specification and learning descriptors. The universities documentation on grading, specifically the common credit framework, to be found on the university website is used for benchmarking the assesment process, and all unit information and Learning Outcomes can be found on the course page on my UCA. Formative feedback will be provided at the completion of each component or unit.

Written feedback should only be seen as a summary. Students are expected to lead in recording more detailed feedback during crit panels. Feedback types for each crit are identified in the overall course programme.

Assessment will be based upon the following criteria, as mapped to the learning outcomes previously itemised and represented by the briefed outputs of each phase: 1. CONCEPTUAL SKILLS Demonstrated through knowledge of theoretical and creative practice contexts, references and methods specific to your area of enquiry and appropriate specialist technical knowledge 2. RESEARCH SKILLS Demonstrated through the practical application of research methods to address questions in your own work 3. TECHNICAL SKILLS Demonstrated through your use of and experimentation with specialist technical skills 4. COMMUNICATION Demonstrated through the communication of interim projects/critiques and a coherent and well-structured project proposal 5. SELF MANAGEMENT Demonstrated through your planning and organisation of exploratory creative practice projects

1. 9 Blog and documentation It is of real importance that you record and document the physical tests you progress.

You will be asked to produce a documentation blog to collate and present the documentary information you gather as you work. This is a great space to post videos, photographs, progress diary posts, scans of sketches, work in progress drawings, successes and failures. You should be posting information as regularly as possible over the entire year of your course as this is an assessed element in the unit Contexts and Methods and as such we will be scrutinising them carefully for the presentation of the development of your work over your projects during the assessment period. The blogs are also an important resource to help explain all your hard work and investigation to the External Examiners, and as such we forward your blog addresses to them prior to their interim visit in April. You are free to use whatever platform you prefer for your online presence, but we do recommend tumblr for ease of use and presentation. We encourage you to format your presentation profile to your requirements and remove unnecessary graphic additions to present your information calmly and clearly. https://danile893047955.wordpress.com https://zitino.wordpress.com/ https://mk-designs.tumblr.com/ https://wordpress.com/view/mingxuanliuca.wordpress.com be.net/guptavibhoa242 https://rimakini.tumblr.com/ https://makerora.wordpress.com/blog/ Requested platform: Tumblr, easy, free, some good templates (try ‘Wicked’)

UCA Canterbury School of Architecture // MA Architecture // MA Interior Design // 2019-20

1. 10 Design Supervisions These are very important moments in your week, when you and your design tutor will sit down in a 1:1 tutorial to review the progress of your work. You should always come to these meetings so we can help you progress in the most effective way with your studies.

Please bring to your supervisions:

1.

Research you have done. It is often a good idea to bring an article, book,

journal, printed out in the flesh. This means your tutor can comprehend

and browse the entirety of the work you are investigating rather than a

narrow image of the work.

2.

Updated progress blog, include tests, failures, experiments.

3.

Models of work. These can be large or small, but don;t leave them be hind!

4.

Printed drawings. If your work involves drawn work, it is important you

manage to print them so your design tutor can review the work in physi

cal form (how it will appear in the portfolio), and be able to make marks

on the drawings for corrections and development.

We expect you to be in all day for your design supervisions which happen on a Monday. If you are unable to attend for whatever reason, you need to get in touch with Lucy Jones as course leader and offer an explanation as to why you are unable to attend on the design supervision day. As a matter of course alternative supervisions are not offered and are only allowed under particular circumstances and as a one-off situation.

Between design supervisions we expect you, as postgraduate design students, to work hard independently, manage your time effectively and demonstrate skills of self evaluation, self management and critical design ability independently from your tutor. This self-determination is the critical factor of this course and whist it may feel difficult at first to be in control of your own learning process, it is a very valuable skill you will have developed by the end of the year.

Feedback to us There is an important survey you can fill out in January which offers feedback on your experiences. This survey is primarily there to help us improve the course for future students through understanding your experience. Your feedback matters to us. There will be further briefing regarding this closer to the time which lands sometime in April.

1. 11 Portfolio (Briefing 14/11)

Your portfolio is a document which can support constant addition and should be a document you set up at the beginning of the course and develop over your studies.

Your portfolio is a place where you clarify your concepts, present edited selections of crucial precedents, demonstrate the breadth and depth of your research information, diagramming, analysis and speculation. It needs to be presented to the highest possible level of precision and refinement in terms of the graphic management and it is often an idea to test print parts to make sure there are no nasty surprises when the whole document gets printed.

The submissions of the units request an A2 portfolio.

Please purchase an A2 Archival Box. 50mm deep from Seawhites or similar. You will be producing 3 portfolios, so the box can be submitted and returned with each portfolio.

This means you will have a box which can hold all of your paper produced work and for your final exam be a neat and tidy, professional way of presenting your work to your examiner.

Printing We have an in-house reprographics bureau and they are open on a 10-5 basis daily. You can take your prints on a stick or submit them online. The bureau and staff try very hard to accommodate your needs and do anticipate busy periods when many students need to print their submissions. Please be patient in return when there are queues. The prices are competitive and in fact discounted with respect to what you might expect to pay in a Guide commercial bureau, but there are a couple of options in townPrint such as Omnicrom should you require. There is a breadth of options available in terms of format and material so it is a good idea to discuss you options with Terry Norton, the manager.

UCA Canterbury Print Bureau

Plan ahead

The Print Bureau can get very busy. The technicians will do their best to help you produce your work. However at busy times, particularly near deadlines, you must have your work correctly formatted in advance, and be prepared to wait up to 24 hours for your prints.

1. 12 Building your project and the UCA MA Summer Show Your year masters here at UCA will cumulate in a final built work which can be virtual or analogue, but is a developed spatial work which is installed in a location around the school which is agreed between the staff and students according to the opportunities and requirements of the project. These installations form the basis of the final examination, internally and externally and are ambitious works which require careful planning and execution. The installations then form part of The UCA MA Summer Show which opens at the end of the course after the internal and external examination process, alongside the other MA courses across the school and is open for a week.

There are various points to bear in mind with respect to the planning of your final work in-situ in the spaces across the show and the fact that the works form part of a public exhibition: 1. Risk Assessment individual work: final 2-3 months of project, June.

2. Risk assessment general exhibition get-in work, June/ July 3.Details for the catalogue, will need to be provided, name, email, website/blog address.

4. Images for the catalogue, these are usually 300dpi, 250x250mm dimension maximally, but can vary slightly year on year. Please be aware of emails which specify these details.

5. Checking emails. The closer the show gets, the more likely immediate actions will be required. This is often communicated through email/myUCA, so please make sure you check the relevant places on a regular (at least twice daily) basis as your build deadline nears.

6. What is the Internal Examination? This is an important day of assesment. We will be walking around the site visiting you at your piece, where you will need to present your work formally to us from first principles and demonstrate that it works, or you can present a video of the installation working. We use this to make sure we have understood your piece and to make an assessment of your grade.

7. External Examination, very soon after the internal examination session is typically a 20 minute interview with your portfolio and your final built work. This may have to be managed if your work is in a location which cannot support portfolio review, for example if your work is outdoors on the lawn. Typically you need to think about a temporary table to show your portfolio, of which there are many around the department.

8. Framed work. There is generally opportunity for some framed work to accompany your final built outcome. You can include drawn work which can describe the interactivity of your piece, or possibly the work you have made in an imagined built environment. You might include information and images from off-site installation work you have done, site images, process work, photographs or diagrams. This is a carefully curated moment so make sure you are able to print images up to A1 size of what you are planning. Sometimes you might need to do a test print and you will definitely have to check your proposed images with your tutor and possibly do some revision work to get this right.

9.Production List. This is a short spreadsheet summarising the space requirements, the frames you are considering, the light sources you might need, if the space is dark or light, power, water, ventilation.

10.Spaces across the school. There are several spaces the MA Architecture and MA Interior Design students occupy for the final show. These are discussed and finalised in July. It is helpful if you have an idea of these spatial needs for these conversations.

11.Invigilation. There is a need for invigilation during the show, which lasts typically from Friday to Friday the last week of August. The exhibition is generally open between 10 and 5 so the day is split into two with 12.Show take down you are generally expected to take down your work, or have it arranged to be taken down within a week of the closing of the exhibition.

13.Resources. Over the summer there is a reduced technical provision across all the spaces of the school. This is understood as the are less students in the school at this time so a fraction of the week availability is accepted on this basis. There is also annual leave to be taken into account. Communication of availability of the school resources UCA Canterbury School of Architecture // MA Architecture // MA Interior Design // 2019-20

is our main priority so you are able to effectively manage your time towards the final examination period, but this is a factor you will have to manage.

14. Documentation. Please carefully document your work. For many of you when the show comes down, the installation is no longer a viable piece of work, and some of you will be traveling home to other parts of the world. It is therefore of utmost importance for your portfolio and other CV materials that you effectively document your work while it is up. As a department we welcome you sending us your documentation to add to the archive alongside out documentation materials.

15. Film and photography. It is incredibly important that you document your work properly as it is site specific and you will possibly be unable to take your worko with you. It is a portfolio requirement to submit a film and very important to take decent photographs of your work. Take care to allocate some time to do this.

1. 13 Reviews

You will notice on your timetable there are a series of reviews throughout the year.

Reviews serve several purposes. The purposes of reviews include feedback and advice from a diversity of sources, you will have the opportunity to discuss your work with some interesting people. Crits also serve as a very real world scenario and the students’ ability to prepare and present at these occasions is a crucial skill to develop in preparation for the professional world of presentations.

Sign up list There will be a sign-up list posted on the morning of the crit, please sign in by 10am, we are only able to review those students who have signed in. We plan the day on this basis so you are unlikely to get a full and helpful feedback with encouraging advice if you do not arrive promptly on these days.

Layout This is often flexible but make sure you print your work at least on A3 sheets of paper.

The portfolio requirements ask for A2 sheets and it is often most efficient to lay out sheets for your crit you can then later use in your portfolio.

Pin-up and be ready: Make sure you have thought your presentation through. Visually think about how much space you want to use for your drawings. Usually you have about a 2.2 meters wide space by the 2.4m height of the panels. So you can plan your layouts generally ahead of time.

Help each other and good housekeeping We like to start as promptly as we can. If you see a colleague who needs help pinning up on time, please be polite and helpful and help them out if you have finished your work. For the day, the crit space is like an exhibition space, its an idea to get your bags and personal possession out the way as much as possible and try and keep the space as clean as possible, using the bins for litter and tidying up after yourself at the en of the day.

Be flexible Sometimes, and depending on numbers, there is a requirement to pin down at lunchtime for other students to pin up. But this is generally brief on the day. The layout and sign up sheet are pinned up in the foyer space, where most of the crits take place.

Presentation time You will have an approximate duration of the crits, depending on the schedule, but typically between 20-30 minutes. You should imagine presenting for 5 of those minutes, planning what you have to say and the route around your work (what you present, in what order) and making sure you introduce with two sentences defining what you have done or aimed to do and then presenting the process in more detail. The remaining time is given to feedback from the tutors and critics Demount Please take your work down at the end of the session/ day. Its important to keep the communal areas of the school clear as they are heavily used spaces and need to be ready for the scheduled events each day. We cannot promise that your precious drawings and models will be rescued and returned to you if they are left in these spaces beyond time.

Feedback is given through a number of methods.

“The role of assessment is in promoting learning, especially as the basis for reflection and dialogue between staff and students. This activity is often referred to as assessment for learning and equated with formative assessment, being developmental. It is contrasted with assessment of learning - often equated with summative assessment - the principal purpose of which is to determine student attainment against predetermined criteria” (Quality Code - Chapter B3: Learning and teaching pg.6) You will have a combination of verbal and written feedback from Reviews, often the tutor will write feedback notes there and then in the crit and these are issued through MyUCA. Typically these formative feedback moments are not graded, the point of summative grading occurs in the portfolio and installation review rather than in on crit occasions.

You might also be asked to do peer to peer review and create feedback and notes for a colleague during a crit sessions.

Form AFF13 Student Assessment Feedback Form This form is to be used to provide feedback to all undergraduate and taught postgraduate students. A separate form should be used for each summative assessment component (as defined in the unit descriptor). It should be completed by the assessor and, normally, returned to the student within four1 weeks of the due date for this assessment component (or, where the component comprises multiple assessment tasks, within four weeks of the submission deadline of the final assessment task). Where appropriate, reference should be made to the University’s generic mark descriptors, which can be found at Appendix 1 of the Common Credit Framework. Before completing this form, staff should ensure that they are familiar with the Student Assessment Feedback Policy.

1.15 Study Trips and Site Visits 1. Trip to london: engaging with current architecture and design 2. Local area: engaging with local ecologies and environments, landscape and vernacular architectural conditions.

3. Study Trips: international city group trip arranged for early February There are several points during the year for collective off site exploration. The first is our walk through Canterbury and a local area of ancient woodland. The second is a cultural and architectural trips to London. There is a requirement in the second project to engage with a particular site and this will be an aspect of independent adventure to find!

The local area is rich in histories and geographies and interesting spaces and materialities, ecologies and environments so we will be looking forward to hearing about your discoveries and researches in due course! It might be worth starting to read more and discover more about the local area through walks, visits or cycles in your spare time.

There is a scheduled study trip each year. We generally visit a European country and this incorporates visits to places of architectural and interior design interest. The visits have included Innsbruck, Seville and the Venice Bienalle. The location of this year’s trip, tbc! If you have to get a visa to travel in Europe, Please get in touch with Lucy Jones and Colin Barnes. Generally for a study trip, you will have to provide some visa information, a deposit and then a payment of a full amount. You will also have to sign and return the health declaration, provide absolutely your full and accurate name, where you were born, and an image of your passport.

Many of you have traveled a long way to come and study at UCA. We are delighted you have decided to come and study here and understand that during your time in this part of the world you will want to make the most of your time and possibly visit other places in Britain and Europe. We encourage you to be curious and learn and adventure as much as you can, but we do encourage you to avoid taking non-essential time away from your studies and in particular missing tutorial days. Please let Lucy Jones as Course Convenor know of any absences and try to arrange your adventures to new places during the timetabled breaks and we will look forward to hearing about them!

1. 17 Thesis Review There are two Thesis Review sessions which are assesed aspects of the units and therefore contribute to your overall grades. As such its important to prepare carefully for these sessions, one at the beginning and one at the end of semester 2.

Diagram questions, in bold, as below incorporating thesis and practice, show images where you can and be as precise as you can, some diagrams might be more straightforward than others.

1. What have you tried out? What have you been doing in the workshop and what have you been doing in your reading and writing?

2. What is successful and what is going wrong? Be straightforward and honest here.

3. What have you found out? Even small, strange things, like how a material behaves strangely.

4. What are the skills you have developed? What have you learned so far on the course?

5. Why are you doing this? (not ‘its the brief’!) What do people think or feel that you hope to change?

6. Who is writing about what you are doing? Writing about theory and practice. Look at your bibliography.

7. Who is making the work like yours? Name names here. Who? Look at your bibliography and research. Try to show relationships.

8. Where is research on your area happening in the world? Universities/ industries/ design studio/ art practice?

9. How is what you are doing different? Small or large, what is nobody else doing?

10. What is valuable about what you are doing? How could it help? How could people think differently in a small way?

What is successful and what is challenging?

1. 19 Reading Lists There are course based general readings and unit readings. These readings are supplemented by specific readings year by year relating to the specific theme of the projects, so please keep an eye on the project shelves in the library and the bibliographies provided in the briefs. There are many of the readings in electronic format, links to which will appear on myUCA under the appropriate unit.

Essential Reading for the course.

The following list is an introduction to the field of interactive art and architecture, with extensions into the realms of robotics and cybernetics. They are useful compendia for those exploring our field for the first time. Being able to access and reference them will do much to help you understand the vocabulary involved, find precedents and potential approaches for your installations and understand the architectural outcomes and relevance of the theoretical works.

You are expected to assimilate and understand the arguments within these texts as a first minimum. As your individual areas of interest come into focus you should greatly expand your library of relevant theoretical sources to suit.

These sources have been selected as they offer major shifts or baseline readings in the way you might consider architecture. They are generally succinct and easy to read; as such they are a must read. Take the time to understand the careful distinctions that they draw and how these are relevant to architecture.

Usman Haque, ‘Distinguishing Concepts: Lexicons of Interactive Art & Architecture’, in Lucy Bullivant (ed.) 4dSocial: Interactive Design Environments, (London: Wiley & Sons, 2007) Discusses terms common in interactive art and architecture, including “interactive”, “open source” and “public & private” Michael Fox & Miles Kemp, Interactive Architecture (Princeton University Press, 2009) An overview of themes that architects have been exploring using responsive technologies.

Norman M Klein, Vatican to Vegas: A History of Special Effects (The New Press, 2004) A tour through special-effects environments from 1550 to the present, this book demonstrates how Renaissance and early Baroque artists pioneered interactive, cinematic, and even digital environments. Klein reviews this syntax and demonstrates how it is not only a barometer for politics, myths of identity and economic relations, but a parallel for understanding where our civilization may be heading.

Anthony Dunne, Hertzian Tales: Electronic Products, Aesthetic Experience, & Critical Design (Cambridge, MA: MIT Press, 2006) A compact manual that explores the complex chemistry whereby industry, design, use, misuse, and marketing combine to form product. Dunne describes the potential for objects to offer ‘complicated pleasures’ akin to those we get from film or literature, and points to concrete ways that poetic products could be engineered.

Ranulph Glanville, An Intelligent Architecture, in Convergence: The International Journal of Research into New Media Technologies, vol. 7 (Sage, 2001) pp.12-24 This paper starts a process of redefining where intelligence is found and how it should be understood as shared, a product of interaction. What this means for an intelligent building is developed, and intelligent architecture is redefined.

Richard L. Gregory, Eye and Brain: The Psychology of Seeing, (Princeton University Press, 1997) A succinct and successful introduction to the psychology of vision. It presents what we know, what we don’t know, what we think we know and how.

Valentino Braitenburg, Vehicles: Experiments in Synthetic Psychology, (Cambridge, MA:

UCA Canterbury School of Architecture // MA Architecture // MA Interior Design // 2019-20

MIT Press, 1986) This is a brilliant work. It outlines a series of thought experiments and is both a stunning example of how to conceptually develop a series of ideas and how to narrate them clearly. It is inventive, creative and light to read; demonstrating how, by accumulation of well-defined and feasible mechanisms, initially trivial “vehicles” can develop emergent properties that can be defined by psychological jargon and assume the appearance of purposeful, thinking brains.

Rodney A. Brooks, Cambrian Intelligence: the early history of the new AI, (Cambridge, MA: MIT Press, 1999) Brooks was once the sole vanguard of what is now accepted wisdom in the field of AI. This book narrates his pioneering of the field of behaviour based robots and overturning of long established understandings of intelligence as being held endosomatically as a complete map of everything. The cornerstone of this approach is the realization that the coupling of perception and action gives rise to the power of intelligence and that cognition is only in the eye of an observer.

Stephen Gage, ‘The Wonder of Trivial Machines’, Systems Research and Behavioural Science, vol.23 (London: Wiley, 2006) pp.771-8 Stephen Gage, ‘How to design a black and white box’, Kybernetes, vol.36 no.9/10 (Emerald, 2007) pp.1329-39 An argument that physical architecture can be observed as the nesting of a trivial machine within a machine whose function is not fully known, thus producing the attributes of non-trivial machines [ie delight and surprise]. Gage links the basic vocabulary of cybernetics to architectural design practices to establish a link that you must have a critical awareness of.

Heinz Von Foerster, Understanding Understanding: Essays On Cybernetics and Cognition, (New York: Springer, 2003) In this series of essays Heinz von Foerster (one of the founders of the study of Cybernetics) discusses some of the fundamental principles that govern how we know the world and how we process the information from which we derive that knowledge.

Gordon Pask, ‘A comment, a case history and a plan‘, in Jasia Reichardt (ed.) Cybernetics, Art and Ideas (Greenwich, Connecticut: New York Graphic Society, 1971), pp.76-92 Usman Haque, ‘The architectural relevance of Gordon Pask’, in Lucy Bullivant (ed.)

4dSocial: Interactive Design Environments, (London: Wiley & Sons, 2007) Together these two papers provide an accounting of the processes and a review of the work of cybernetician Gordon Pask, with suggestions of how his ideas can inform the development of authentically interactive architecture.

1. 21 Equipment and technical

Equipment and technical spec of equipment had at UCA following a baseline installation of VR and spatial tracking, alongside the Lidar scanner and the excellent equipment in the workshops.

We have a developing portfolio of technology DJI Mavic aerial drone; Aerial photography and videography have long been a missing element in the schoolâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s arsenal of spatial capture and recording technologies, and opens up new avenues in the exploration and documentation of large landscapes and building environments. http://www.wexphotographic.com/dji-mavic-pro-fly-combo-bundle-1608640 Sense 2 hand held scanner; The Sense 2 represents an upgrade from our existing Sense 1 scanner, especially in terms of texture resolution and clarity. The Sense 1 has been instrumental in our development of object and material capture to virtual environments, but lacks clarity and detail currently. http://uk.rs-online.com/web/p/products/7990480/ EinScan SP desktop; The EinScan SP is a desktop, turntable based, structured light object scanner, which enables the accurate and speedy capture of small scale objects and components for use in 3d printing, design development or archive. http://www.einscan.com/?gclid=CjwKEAjw_6XIBRCisIGIrJeQ93oSJAA2cNtMHQNrepo upI3HOUH-vGZb6uhB4A7CGw6SOMVJVqWvTBoCrnXw_wcB EinScan-Pro Full Pack; The EinScan-Pro is a hand held scanner capable of capturing high resolution and very accurate geometry of small to medium scale objects, people and spaces. The scan output is geometry only, without colour, but offers considerable advantages over the Sense when it comes model fidelity and accuracy. This scanner would be more helpful in scenarios where an accurate mesh of the object being scanned is desirable for augmentation or modification. https://www.imakr.com/en/home/963-ein-scan-pro-basic-tripod-turntable-color-packaccessory.html Xcarve CNC/Plotter; The Xcarve framework is an open platform for multi axis plot and CNC development and would complement our existing, more proprietary systems, by being more easily modifiable and extensible than those existing systems allow. This platform presents tremendous opportunities for coding projects with physical computing and machine control objectives. https://robosavvy.com/store/x-carve-1000mm.html To support and encourage more flexible and potentially off site use cases for the scanning equipment above, three dedicated laptop computers would be needed. This equipment would still be based in the TrakLAB, but the flexibility of a mobile capture platform would enable staff and students to access scanning opportunities which would otherwise be impossible.

3no x Laptop Gopro omni 360 video; In some circumstances, active geometric scanning and capture are not the most appropriate solution. In these situations, 360 Video can be more useful, especially when one wishes to capture the passage of time in space. Being able to revisit sites or events filmed in 360 Video within the existing TrakLAB VR system, enables some compelling opportunities for research. https://shop.gopro.com/EMEA/virtualreality/

TPCast Vive wireless kit; The current Vive VR headset in use in the TrakLAB is by far the best solution currently available for high end, room scale VR experiences. It does however suffer from immersion loss due to the presence of the trailing umbilical cable from the back of the headset to the PC it is connected to. The TPCast wireless negates this problem by providing a battery pack and wireless communication system between the headset and its connected PC, freeing the user to engage with the virtual experience without tripping over the trailing wires. ÂŁ200 TrakLAB audio system upgrade; The current surround audio system installed in the TrakLAB is inadequate in terms of flexibility and accessibility. The system is tethered to a single PC, mounted in the ceiling grid, and does not support the connection of additional input sources. The suggested upgrade would add a surround amplifier with multiple inputs, mounted at user level and connected to an upgraded speaker system.

YAMAHA RXV381 http://www.richersounds.com/product/av-receivers/yamaha/rxv381/yama-rxv381-blk CAMBRIDGE AUDIO MIN12 x 5 & SX120 https://www.richersounds.com/package/speakers/speaker-packages/pah013563 Fabrication facility upgrade; The school has for many years understood the important role digital fabrication has within the design process, both as representation tool and for component construction. The upgrades outlined below would enable the production of new forms, currently not possible on our existing systems, due to the requirement of a soluble support material process. The Ultimaker 3 fills this gap, bringing both higher resolution and the opportunity to print more complex parts and models. The additional Ultimaker2+â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s further augment this resource with greater print capacity and flexibility to work with different filament types and thicknesses.

1. 22 Health and Safety

You will be working with some exciting new processes and materials, engaging with various technologies, experimenting with the boundaries of what is possible. However, we do require that you are safe when you do so! We understand you are ambitious with your design aims and keen to get a working outcome, especially at crit time. We are here to guide you to those successful design outcomes, but safety in the studio must be of paramount importance and we need to make sure we stick to using equipment that secures that safety.

Below are a few requests and needs of safe working practice in prototyping and fabrication: 1. We need to take care there is no built circuitry over 12V and with the proper equipment. This should not impact on your design working there is plenty of equipment out there which can help you achieve your project without using hazardous amounts of voltage and practicing safe working methods.

2. Working within the 12V range, you should not be constructing any circuitry which connects directly to a 240V mains plug. You need to use off the shelf components and we would advise battery if possible to achieve your aims.If your work requires sustained power, you need to use an appropriate step-down transformer, with a maximum output voltage of 12V or less. These are widely available, and can be useful in protecting and maintaining the low voltage components of the circuits you are constructing.

3. You need to use appropriate wiring, take care not to leave wires exposed (neat and tidy working) and make sure you have the correct specification in terms of components for what you are proposing. Use electric tape and heat shrink tubing to finish neatly and safely your wiring and use the correct tools and preparation area. This is especially important if you are soldering components and wiring.

Please email a tutor if you have any queries and stop working on any circuitry you even think might be unsafe according to the above advice.

4. You should ensure that your working area is well ventilated and clear of all flammable materials or liquids. Seal and store carefully any hazardous materials safety in sealed and labelled containers and check with your tutor if they can, in fact, be stored in the wider studio space. Do not store paint, white spirit etc. on top of heaters or ducts, or in unlabelled containers. Again, please discuss any particular chemicals or liquids you intend to use with your tutor before purchasing.

5. Use eye protection when using hazardous materials and using power tools on materials which might have a problem with flaking or particles flying off.

6. If you have an accident, please report this to reception and please also let Lucy Jones know in person or by email.

7. Please use cutting mats and scalpels with safety blades when making models. You can get these supplies from the university show located in reception.

8. When you are working hard in the studio to a built outcome, the temptation is to ignore the environmental impact of your work, but please be careful to manage the dust your making produces, please clean up after yourself and please work outside where possible if you are doing mechanical sanding.

9. Slip hazards, if you do spill anything, you need to manage this through clearing and mopping where required, and letting estates know if there needs to be any action you cannot manage and if any signs are necessary.

UCA Canterbury School of Architecture // MA Architecture // MA Interior Design // 2019-20

10. Trip hazards, you are quite likely to have to do some carful management of wires as you develop your piece if this has electronic, mains based supplies. You can ask one if the technicians to provide some of the rubberized floor based trunking for larger wires, you can artfully use tape to cover the wires and fix down, and please, if you are working outside, please use the box we have in the department to protect the sockets from getting wet.

11. Please take care working alone and at height. You should avoid doing a lot of making alone, as if you have an accident there won’t be anyone there to help you. Particularly using ladders, make sure someone is at the bottom of the ladder, holding it safely. Take care not to stand on the top-most step.

8. Please consider the safety of others when making work in the studio, clearing up after yourself and putting tools and equipment away safely.

4. You can always discuss any aspect of your project with the tutors and review what you are proposing before you spend money and order anything. There are lots of options out there. Between JJ, myself and Sam, we have a lot of equipment in the office that we can show you at least an example of what you might need to order to stay safe.

5. Please attend the required university inductions, particularly the FAbLab and workshop inductions, please respect the rules and regulations of the space you are working and respect the advice and instructions the supervising technicians.

7. Please keep the fire escapes clear at all times. Please be particularly aware of large bags of materials, or half made fabrication across the fire escape path, as indicated on the floor currently.

8. Keep your personal items safe, take out insurance for your possessions. Rarely, but we have historically had a degree of stealing of electronic possessions from the department. This has been improved/ solved by the electronic card system we have currently.

10. Please fill in the correct rick assessment for your project activities, anything apart from usual studio practices requires a risk assessment. There is an example risk assessment at the back of the handbook. You will be asked particularly to complete a risk assessment before you progress your final project work alongside the general risk assessment for the setting up of the final MA show.

12. A little housekeeping, please be aware we cannot store bikes in the studio spaces and be careful not to block the fire exits with your work. The studio space is getting congested, please do your bit and make sure the tools and equipment you use gets put back safely and neatly on the shelves.

13. Please keep your studio clean, tidy and safe. You can eat and drink in the studio, but please throw away cartons, leftovers etc after your snack!

14. There are quite a lot of tools and wires, materials and supplies in the workshop area of the studio. Its there for you to use, but please respect the space, return items safely (no blades, sharp items etc).

15. Please clean up after yourself when you are doing messy work, painting etc. There are tarpaulins around the department so there are facilities to use to allow you to work in the cleanest possible way.

1.23 Studio Spaces and Fire escape Two important themes to the fire escape protection: 1. General studio activites and use 2. Show time

1m

1m

Concerns for the school: 1. Fire escapes are kept clear of activites and materials which might prevent clear escape from the designated fire escape. The floors are marked with hazard tape to indicate where the spaces are which need to be kept clear.

Action: Even if it is not your work, please carefuly remove any materials or work that you can see encroaching on the designated areas.

2. Fire door use Action: Do not use the fire doors for generall access or prop them open without agreement from estates. These doors do not have pass keys on and so the risk of them being open has to be carefully managed.

3. Fire escape width. There is a minimum dimension of 1000mm width for a clear escape route from any part of the building to a designated escape. This needs to be in two directions and escape from each space is indicated by a greeen sign.

Action: plan your show spaces in liason with your collegues so that you can maintain the required width to the fire exits in the building. Make sure you are not leaving equipment and work temporarily in these spaces, as this can cause injury and delay in the case of a fire. Any wires need to be acrefully taped or fixed using designated rubber wire covers.

Any questions, ask a member of staff...
