Welcome to the end of year celebrations at the Birmingham School of Architecture. This small snippet of the work of our students is designed to give visitors a flavor of the school and this will be supplemented by a more comprehensive Annual Review publication towards the end of the summer. Special thanks go to Alessandro Columbano and Tom Tebby for whipping everyone into shape at this busy time of year to produce this. It’s been another very exciting year as the School continues to attract high quality students from diverse backgrounds, link more and more with industry, climb league tables, and have it’s students recognized for external achievements and awards. Alongside all of this we are preparing for the exciting move to our new home in Eastside in September 2013. There have been a number of notably successes this year including M.Arch student Saiman Miah who won a national Royal Mint competition to design the £5 Olympic coin which just shows that Architecture students can turn their hand to anything! BA student Haiqual Che Zulhikam has just beaten stiff competition to secure a 6 week summer internship at Foster and Partners which will no doubt be a fascinating experience.
Our staff continue to make the headlines too, Lubo Jankovic has recently published a book “Designing Zero Carbon Buildings Using Dynamic Simulation Methods”, whilst former RIBA President Ruth Reed has been conferred with the title “Professor of Architectural Practice”. I would like to take the opportunity to thank all of the students and staff of our Architecture and Landscape courses for their hard work throughout the year and I trust that you enjoy the work on display.
