Welcome to the first Yearbook of the INTO Newcastle University Architecture programme! It celebrates both the creative output of our recent students and the quality of teaching provided by our highly motivated and professional team. Browsing through the pages, it is immediately apparent that the range and quality of work is both striking and to a highly commendable standard, especially as we consider the dense schedule of teaching activities and assignments the students have to manage throughout the two semesters.

exerting influence on contemporary society. Globalisation is such a force. It is a term which, particularly since the emergence of the internet, has become deeply established in ways we possibly couldn’t foresee just two or three decades ago. It provides great opportunities, yet simultaneously creates complex social, cultural and economic challenges. In the architectural profession, international experience matters more than ever before. Today’s architectural student needs to understand the diverse contexts and operations of architecture, and to embrace the opportunity to rediscover and reinterpret cultural traditions in the light of dramatic global and technological change. This is what our programme attempts to deliver across its three pathways.
this past year achieved some of the highest grades in the programme’s five year history.

The Foundation, the longest running pathway on our programme, is an excellently balanced introduction. Students benefit greatly from an unencumbered start, free from misconceptions and prescribed outcomes. The course is comprehensive and deep, providing an effectual foundation for a career in architecture, and developing skills that often reach the sophisticated standards more typical of an undergraduate degree’s first year. Indeed, students
The Diploma (renamed the International Year One from September 2016) experienced its second intake this past year. Once again, the students showed a very confident performance overall, employing the wide range of practical and cognitive skills necessary to master two rather complex architectural design projects. Students applied theoretical and spatial concepts whilst analysing and considering clients’ needs, and learned to respond to urban, historical and topographical contexts. Some of the best work exceeds expectations for this level of study. For students on the Graduate Diploma (Pre-Masters), the challenges are even higher as they often have to revise their working and study methods shaped by previous educational experience. This year, the work ethic and commitment shown by students
was exemplary, improving the quality of their output significantly. The two major design projects continued to become more finelytuned to the students’ various educational backgrounds and potential progression routes, such as landscape architecture and urban design. In conclusion, the 2015/16 Yearbook is a demonstration of
what our students are capable of: inspired, creative design output combined with a professional and mature attitude and work ethic. It also reflects the tremendous efforts of our teaching team, who never ceased to encourage and support their students. We congratulate all of our students for passing their respective pathways, and wish them continued success in their future studies and careers.

Semester 1 introduces students to the foundational elements of architecture through lectures, seminars, workshops, study trips and two main design projects. The conveyed content is designed to stimulate an active interest in the subject of architecture and to strengthen relevant skills such as sketching, drawing, model-making and creative thinking. By the end of the semester, students have begun to develop a general understanding of the language of architectural design. Semester 2 provides students with the opportunity to transform and merge their theoretical knowledge and creativity through a smallscale, yet challenging, architectural
design project, learning to consider the environmental, social and cultural implications of architectural intervention. The principles of basic construction methods are introduced, and students gain a deeper understanding of how buildings are physically made. Workshops and tutorials provide guidance and support as they continue to develop their personal design language and refine their communication and presentation skills. Throughout the course, students are required to critically analyse, research, record and reflect upon their new architectural knowledge as it develops. The primary means for documenting this is through the consistent use of sketchbooks and accumulation of development material. At the end of the course, having worked through a variety of tasks and projects, students produce a final portfolio which demonstrates the general skills and knowledge required for further study.
Design Project #1 – “Layering”
students experiencing their first design review
Buildings consist of many layers, whether physical, social or historical. Each layer, to some extent, helps to reveal or conceal identity. Materially, some layers are very thin and fragile. Others have greater thickness and depth. Some are transparent or translucent. Others are opaque. Some are patterned. Others are plain. It is the combination and juxtaposition of such qualities which helps make architectural form so exciting.
In this project, students are tasked to produce a visually stimulating, abstract composition which explores a ‘language of layering’ as described above. They can use any combination of graphical and craft techniques they feel are appropriate to their concept. Although many find it challenging, this first design project ultimately helps the students to work more creatively, and increases their sensitivity to the richness of surface and materiality. Design Project #2 – “Cube” The architectural design process often begins with a qualitative exploration of space and volume. This project introduces students to the key considerations of such an exercise, using the initial simplicity of the geometric cube as a starting point, and focusing on potential spatial qualities inherent in both simple and complex forms and volumes. In considering the factors which influence spatial ambience,
students are encouraged to explore a range of reciprocal qualities such as light/shadow, solid/void, rough/smooth, wide/ narrow, open/restricted, high/low, etc. Careful composition of such qualities create interesting and stimulating spaces and rhythms, perceptions of harmony or tension which can trigger our emotions and imagination. Design Project #3 – “Intervention” Architecture may be understood as a physical response to a given context and project brief. Any new building requires a considered understanding of the context in which it intervenes and also implies a dialogue that is developed and explored between the context and the new entity. In this regard, good architecture of any scale should enrich or intensify an individual’s experience of the immediate surroundings in which it is located, and must form a specific and developed dialogue with ‘place’. For this project, students are
required to design a small structure which responds to the physical and social context of a site, and provides a simple function suggested by the specifics of that context. Through both subjective and objective approaches, a chosen site is analysed and explored, revealing unique qualities and prompting a specific response. Students develop this initial response into a design concept, and eventually into a small architectural proposal, represented through orthographic drawing and model-making.

Module Leader(s) Daniel Goodricke The International Year One in Architecture focuses on the enhancement of architectural design and theoretical knowledge, with a particular emphasis on contextualisation. Upon successful completion, students may gain direct entry to year two of an undergraduate degree at Newcastle University - principally the ARB accredited and RIBA validated degree programme.
drawing and model-making.
The initial weeks of the programme comprise a series of design tasks, or charrettes, which introduce students to the iterative cycle of the design process based on investigation, analysis, synthesis and practical realisation, whilst encouraging students to get to know one another and to foster an open studio culture. For tutors it provides an opportunity to identify individual students’ strengths and weaknesses acquired from their prior experiences. This information is used to tailor much of the early teaching with a focus on the consolidation and refinement of core skills such as sketching,
By the end of the semester, students can methodically analyse and interpret complex design briefs, research and analyse user requirements, and apply specific regulations and technological standards.
Throughout semester 1, students are supported in making individual and informed design decisions relating to small design projects by means of one-to-one tutorials. They are also taught how to effectively communicate and present their development and design proposals to an audience of fellow students and professionals.
Semester 2 aims to further develop design skills and deepen architectural understanding by means of a comprehensive, yet still small-scale, design project. Students are required to demonstrate a practical understanding of materials and construction methods, and are introduced to computer-aided
design software. By the end of the academic year, students have developed an accomplished architectural design project from sketch design to technical detail.
testing of structures charrette across all three pathways
As at foundation and graduate diploma level, students are required to critically analyse, research, record and reflect upon their new architectural knowledge throughout the course of the academic year. This is initially documented through the use of sketchbooks and development
material, and culminates in a professionally presented portfolio which demonstrates competencies required for further study. Students are assisted in this task and receive input on specialist graphics editing and desktop publishing software. Design Project #1 – “[A Room] Beyond the Frame” Modelled on a long-running design project at Newcastle University’s School of Architecture, Planning and Landscape, the project focuses on ordinary domestic
interiors depicted by Pieter de Hooch in Holland during the latter half of the seventeenth century. Students begin by observing, drawing and modelling the area of the house depicted in their chosen painting, before designing a new room beyond it. Whilst all methods of design development are welcomed, students are especially encouraged to work with study models as they facilitate the testing of threedimensional spaces and enable speedy alterations. Design Project #2 – “Start-up Residence” The Lower Ouseburn Valley, currently undergoing an extensive redevelopment, provides a stimulating background to reinvent and reintroduce terraced buildings. Students are tasked with designing a ‘start-up’ residence for three young, creative entrepreneurs - a photographer, pottery artist and music producer. The assumed
clients respond to the existing economic structure and culture of the creative small businesses located in the Ouseburn valley. The siting of the housing demands consideration of daylighting, wind, aspect, privacy, outlook and surveillance, whilst the mixed use programme - involving three different disciplines - presents challenges with the division of public and private space, the need for flexibility and adaptability, as well as an economic construction.

ere are two main concepts in my design, communication and diction. The residents are not family and are, instead, unrelatstrangers. So a special technique in both its management and its ace becomes necessary for complete strangers to continue naturalto share spaces with one another. As we can see, this is quite a rrow site, According to the shared house in Japan, so the solution this space has divided this house into three blocks with differt height levels to accommodate different buildings functions. These aces are then connected bu courtyard acting as transition and comnication space; bringing light and natural ventilation throught the site. The courtyard area is the design solution to this narw site and performed as flexible space to provide light, shade, r, shelter, privacy and communication. This courtyard can be a tural exhibition as well for photographer and pottery artist ‘s rks. This is the first space you come in when you through the enance and turn right. In this courtyard, you can go everywhere if u want, such as turn right go to living and dining room, or turn ght go to kitchen and pottery studio, this gives you a direction r come through this house, it can give you an option for walking.

International Graduate Diploma in Architecture
Programme Manager Mr Thomas Kern Assistant Programme Manager Mrs Natasha Thewlis Module Leaders(s) Mr Smajo Beso Mr Christoph Oschatz Contributor(s) Mr Thomas Kern Students Xuan Chen Chia-San Chiang Elene Chinchaladze Ding Jiang Yujun Jin Sumei Li Jiajun Li Kuan Li Qingxiao Lin Ngoc Hieu Pham Xinjue Wang Songtao Yang Sicheng Yang Wentong Zhang Jian Zhou
Module Leader(s) Smajo Beso Christoph Oschatz The International Graduate Diploma in Architecture aims to prepare international students for postgraduate architectural studies at Newcastle University or, should they wish, elsewhere in the UK. Students come from an array of different educational backgrounds, both design and non-design related. As a result, much of the semester 1 teaching focuses on improvement and refinement of core architectural skills by means of small design projects encompassing architecture, urban and landscape design disciplines. Semester 2 provides an opportunity to consolidate and expand on acquired skills and knowledge through a comprehensive design project. Students are encouraged to experiment, explore and develop their own architectural design philosophy by applying an interdisciplinary, holistic approach towards urban design.
Design Project #1 - “The BalticSage Link” This project introduces students to the idea of designing an architectural journey between two landmark buildings on the Gateshead Quayside - The Sage Gateshead and The Baltic Centre for Contemporary Art. The challenge for students is to develop an inspiring public space proposal which improves not just the functionality but also addresses the specific qualities of the context. Design Project #2 - Manors Bicycle Interchange This design project – a bicycle interchange - is intended to foster a holistic and contextual design approach including environmental, infrastructural and sociological considerations. It encourages students to make well-informed, research-driven and context based design decisions.

Extra-Curricular Activities
As well as undertaking their respective programme of study, all students are encouraged to establish and pursue their own independent architectural interests. In order to assist with such, each programme runs four study trips per academic year - many of which are cross-pathway and therefore fosters dialogue between students. This year students undertook visits to West Yorkshire (Hepworth Gallery and Yorkshire Sculpture Park), Manchester, Edinburgh, Middlesbrough and Peterlee (MIMA, Middlehaven and Apollo Pavilion) and Durham (UNESCO World Heritage Site. The trips are always met with enthusiasm and are often referred to in final reviews as a source of inspiration, as well as informing output in supporting modules. Additionally,
many
students
choose to take advantage of Newcastle’s convenient location to visit the vibrant seaside towns of Whitley Bay and Tynemouth known for their beaches, surf, fish and chips and real ale - as well as the Northumberland National Park - home to an array of flora and fauna, historic hill forts and the 188-km-long Hadrian’s Wall. Independent of the architecture pathways, INTO Newcastle University runs a social programme throughout the academic year. Destinations include Alton Towers, Alnwick (castle and gardens), Liverpool and Lake District (Keswick and Bowness-on-Windermere). Students are encouraged to attend these as they look to balance their studies with leisure pursuits. The following images document the broad range of extra-cirricular activities undertaken during the course of the 2015-16 academic year.

INTO Newcastle University Architecture Alumni
We take an equally keen interest in our students once they depart INTO Newcastle University, whether they’re destined for Newcastle University or elsewhere. This year, we achieved a 85% progression rate from our International Foundation programme. We achieved 80% and 90% progression rates on our International Year One and International Graduate Diploma respectively. Owing to the close links between INTO Newcastle University and the School of Architecture, Planning and Landscape we regularly get an opportunity to see our students’ output including tutors sitting-in on final reviews. In the past former students have also gone on to study at intititutions such as Barlett School of Architecture (University College London), Architectural Association (AA) and University of Edinburgh.
Additionally, we have an increasing number of alumni who have been successful in securing employment in architectural practice and related disciplines, following the conclusion of their studies. The following pages document some of our recent alumni, including personal reflection and samples of their continued studies. Amongst this year’s BA (Hons) Architecture graduates, Allan Chong - an INTO alumni was nominated for the RIBA President’s Medal. There are three RIBA students awards Bronze at undergraduate, Silver at postgraduate and the Dissertation Award for best dissertation across both undergraduate and postgraduate. Collectively, they’re regarded as the most prestigious international awards in architectural education. We are proud of the achievements of all our alumni.
“As Thomas à Kempis said “The loftier the bulding, the deeper must the foundation be laid”. Being an architecture student shares the same theory. The more you learn building up the complexity of your architecture knowledge - the more you need to handle. A stronger foundation is what you need.” - Otto Chung, Hong Kong
