Co.LAB
Elective Projects for 2018/19:
CO.LAB is a design & research initiative that seek to engage students with the dynamic context of Birmingham including its cultural setting and various organisations that contribute to it. It is an opportunity for students to work with individuals and groups outside of their discipline area, engaging in a broad creative network. Projects take place largely offsite depending on the partner course or group, and all projects are underpinned by a process of collaborative practice.

Heart of Birmingham Vocational College
Welcome to our renowned end of year exhibition which embodies the Schools’ design through the scales ethos, featuring the work of our Landscape Architecture, Architecture, Interior Architecture and Design, and Product and Furniture Design students. We’re incredibly proud of our student success and hard work, culminating in this exhibition. This year students have been involved with a number of industry projects with firms such as HS2, to travelling across the world to work with our partner SHAPE in Hong Kong. This year we’ve been able to develop the sense of community in the School by being able to relocate most of our courses to the top floor of the Parkside Building. This allows students to drive, inspire, and learn from each other. The joint architecture and design history lectures and seminars have gone from strength to strength and staff and students are genuinely learning about each other’s disciplines to make them more rounded thinkers and designers. First year Architecture tutor Oliver Chapman has taken our SuperStudio concept to another level with an incredible array of workshops, seminars, lectures, and events as disparate as origami, topographic modelling, and yoga! It’s been a pleasure to see the buzz
in SuperStudio and how much students are enjoying themselves by exploring beyond their discipline boundaries. As a new addition to the SuperStudio suite we’ve introduced a new initiative, “HotHouse”. This means students who have performed well that month are invited to participate in a “supercrit” with our Visiting Professor of Architecture Glenn Howells. We have started to develop this concept for our other courses and will continue to do so next year. Our new Foundation course led by Myles Cummings has been nothing short of sensational, check out their Instagram page BCU_FAD to see lots of experimental, cross-discipline and fun work. We’re very excited to be welcoming of these students onto our BA courses next year. September will also see the launch of our new BA (Hons) Design Management pathway as an option for our 3rd year students as well as students from elsewhere and this course will further emphasise our commitment to collaboration, multidisciplinary working, and professionalism. I’d also like to take this opportunity to congratulate the staff involved in securing RIBA Validation for Parts 1,2 and 3 back in October with 3 commendations. Special thanks to Dr Jemma Browne for leading the event management of the visit.
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 especially the work placement practices who have hosted over 100 of our Architecture, Landscape, and Interior Architecture and Design students. We are privileged to have such support and the experience is very often transformational for the students. 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 Altro for their respective sponsorship support 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 the work of our talented students.
