LSBU Architecture 2019 The last year has been dominated by speculation on the UK’s future relationship with Europe and, as always, it’s impossible not to see the political context in which architecture operates as very important indeed. Schools of architecture should then always pose questions about our social, cultural, technological, and ideological relationships, to speculate on how the world might be tomorrow, whilst never failing to also learn from the past. This means that a school of architecture has to keep close to practice, without losing the unique qualities of the academic environment and our role in helping students define their own pedagogical position on architecture. We want to see the academy and workplace develop a synergistic bond, so it’s been very interesting to now have both undergraduate and postgraduate apprentices enrolled on our architecture programme. LSBU has always supported part-time vocational education, but with the opportunity for level 6 apprentices to avoid the debts inevitably associated with higher education, we’re proud to be the only university in the UK offering both undergraduate and postgraduate apprenticeships. And our level 7 apprentices will be able to graduate with both part 2 and part 3 professional awards; this is a real step change in architectural education. We look forward to expanding these professional connections still further. The 2018-19 academic session saw the team at all levels of the architecture programme shift fundamentally. Every school needs periodic recalibration, and we certainly haven’t been short of change in the last year, with a new first year team, and six out of eight of our vertical studios operating with new staff and new themes. Our history and theory programme has also been completely re-imagined; the results everywhere seem very promising. This is a volatile and exciting time for LSBU architecture, and we want everyone in the school to share and be part of this success. We see LSBU architecture as developing an inclusive and diverse profession that better reflects the societies and communities we serve; architecture should be optimistic and transformative, and its practice not tied to a single place, perspective, culture, or methodology. We ran another successful LSBU Open Lecture series in autumn 2018, and heard provocative and thoughtful presentations from David Dernie (Chinese University of Hong Kong), Anna Liu (Tonkin Liu), Stephen Hodder (Hodder Associates), Beatrix Frankfurt (Government Office for Key Investments, Budapest), Julian Cross and Jonathan Clarke (Woods Bagot), John Andrews (University of Brighton), Yakim Milev (Mile Arc), and Patrik Schumacher (Zaha Hadid Architects). We deliberately emphasised that Bea, Julian, Jonathan, Yakim, and Patrik are all very successful LSBU graduates; it is important to show how varied a professional future can be. Finally, I want to thank our students, academic colleagues, practitioners and employers, and our (now former) Dean, Professor Charles Egbu, for their support. Charles left LSBU this April, and I would like to offer this catalogue as a modest but sincere appreciation of his hard work, dedication, and understanding. Those of us who know this university well understand life here is unpredictable but interesting, and because of this, everything we do is transitional and evolving. I am grateful for each and every contribution made by the LSBU architecture community to this exciting process. Professor Lilly Kudic head of architecture

MArch: Master of Architecture The principal aims of the programme are to focus on innovation in design, construction, and resource efficient technology, ensuring students acquire skills and methodologies relevant to contemporary professional practice, and develop the ability to produce complex and diverse design proposals, where complexity is seen in terms of intellectual density rather than an emphasis on large scale development. Architecture is a practice that is informed by, and informs, a wider context. As professionals, our role is not only to serve existing societies, but to challenge contemporary thinking and promote new social, cultural, political, and technological innovations. The demand for valuable design, critical diversity, experimentation, and progressive professional practice are principal objectives established by and in architectural education. Such thinking can only be accessed by deep engagement in the culture of design studios, research, and practice. At LSBU, we see design studios as the catalyst to challenge the conditions of the 21st century; crucially, we need to explore, and refine these ideas into robust architectural projects. Research develops a strong critical and reflective attitude towards the issues raised within contemporary society; practice enables implementation and testing of our ideas. The process of experimentation may at times be tough – framing new hypotheses is inevitably challenging - but through ambition and commitment we develop valuable innovations; these are not for personal gain, but for each other and our future generations. The diversity and complexity of our built environment requires participation in ways responsive to, and provoking the agenda for change; architecture is an implicit part of this. Our studios and taught modules are led by a diverse group of academics, theorists, and practitioners, all of whom are passionate about our profession, and in cultivating dialogue between generations. Each of us is dedicated to facilitating ideas through verifiable research and design methodologies, with the aim to vivify students’ academic experience and professional aspirations.

The studio worked between the complex and physically constrained parameters of London’s city centre (currently disrupted by massive infrastructure schemes), and exceptionally managed but mysterious rural sites, where the thresholds between architecture and landscape are difficult to identify. For final year students, the concern was with programmability, and programmable materials. The development of 4D printed items that reconfigure themselves in response to stimuli given after initial production allowed for substituting elements in a series of historic sites to offer a new architectural experience. Microscopic electro-mechanical systems embedded in materials were deployed at Middle Temple Hall, Somerset House, the National Theatre, and the Hayward Gallery; these retrofittable interventions provided new sensory life to familiar buildings. The graduation project addressed the programmable city, reflecting two maxims promoted by Bernard Tschumi: …that society secretly delights in crime, excesses, and violated prohibitions of all sorts …that the city is a stage on which alterity may be enacted Social media has now developed the concept of digital gathering, displacing the values of physical encounter. The Western Front project asked the studio to consider sites on Charing Cross Road and Oxford Street, all fundamentally affected by the Crossrail development. The proposal was for an unwired architecture to ease social pain, an alternative, analogue concept of leisure for the mid 21st century city.

Incoming year worked on social interaction from different perspectives. Initially using photography to record the physical and psychological tensions implicit in our use of the city on a daily basis, the studio examined historical ideas of combat, and the clothing supporting this, i.e. armour. The suit of armour was both a technological proposition and psychotherapeutic presence, with students’ body maps generating manufacture of partial body armour for the mid 21st century. With new digital manufacturing skills, each student became their own armourer, an analogue of the workplace where ideas about architecture transition into a useful and durable physical reality. …a traveller ponders shelter for the night. He notices tall rushes growing everywhere, so he bundles an armful together as they stand in the field, and knots them at the top. Presto, a living grass hut. The next morning, before embarking on another day’s journey, he unknots the rushes and presto, the hut de-constructs, disappears, and becomes a virtually indistinguishable part of the larger field of rushes once again… [Leonard Koren 1994]

The final project of the incoming year was in Old Sarum, Wiltshire. This village is of indeterminate age, with many layers of archaeology meshing with the other. The project addressed the idea of armouring the environment: the springbox, a created well agrarian urbanism, and concept of the tiny farm solar pavilion, filtering sunlight to promote health [‘…a very open hall, very high and shadowy...the sun can be controlled at all four cardinal points of an edifice and even manipulated Le Corbusier 1955] As the sources of our food become increasingly contentious, the concept of small scale, guerrilla cultivation becomes more appealing. The question of how development on this complex site became a ‘virtually indistinguishable part of the larger field of rushes’ was also fundamental.

As today’s cities see a dramatic rise in their displaced populations, and a range of socio-political and environmental conditions, a new housing typology is becoming more necessary, one that it is receptive to supporting constant change, adaptive, and temporal, and answering the question of how future migrants will integrate, live, and operate in their new host environment. This year, our studio has looked into the problem of housing. Situating ourselves in London, a city which continuously faces an influx of migrating populations, students were asked to reflect and offer possible solutions to the current housing crisis, establishing a critical position on their interpretation of ‘Integration’ and redefining new housing typologies and ways of living. Fourth year students worked towards the idea of integration within communities, through the development of a manifesto and speculating about the transformation of the ‘wall’ beyond its pragmatic role. This exercise helped them to consider and communicate their own idea and aspirations about integration, bringing to light a focused issue that they have identified as important, suggesting attitudes and agendas to help design and create spaces for inclusion. The location chosen was Nomadic Community Gardens, a disused space located in the historic neighbourhood of Spitalfields in East London - home to waves of immigrants from Europe and beyond - which has been recently transformed into an urban garden where nature thrives and local residents are brought together, proving a sense of ownership to the community. In addition to the development of their final design, students were asked to portray a fictional character or characters to inhabit their intervention. Fifth year students engaged with a range of questions, from what if we could build according to people’s own way of living to how can architects accommodate the needs of the inhabitants of today and years to come?. To speculate on these questions, they were asked to challenge existing norms of habitation and assess the role of housing and domestic space in the material reality of contemporary life. The site, Bishopsgate Goodsyard, located in Spitafields offered the opportunity to explore potential prototypes of changeable, democratic and future-proof architectural solutions that could act as a generator for future changes.

Studio 21 Kira Ariskina Luke Saunders Our studio is interested in the effect of unprecedented rates of urbanisation on the existing built environment of cities. We believe that new demands arising from population growth, a shift in the ways that communities and individuals use spaces, the scarcity of resources and effect of tech-led digital start-ups all require architects to rethink how we approach the design and adaptability of our buildings and urban infrastructure. This year our studio was exploring the ways of optimising the City of London’s urban environment via interdisciplinary techled solutions. We have investigated layers of the information that formed existing urban grain along with varied digital interconnectivity networks within the City.

The incoming year were ‘chasing dragons’, a series of dragon statues that mark the boundaries of the City of London to explore how the current boundary of the City expanded and contracted throughout its history. Through that research, students understood the factors and influences that shaped the current physical fabric of the City. On the basis of these findings, incoming year students put forward architectural proposals and strategies for the City’s further development, integration with greater London, and a diversification of its current demographics. Our final year students were working within the boundaries of the City of London exploring the notion of 3-dimensionality of urban space. Students were invited to propose innovative nonstandard solutions to ease pedestrian congestion within the constraints of the medieval street pattern of the City. We moved from the macro scale of the urban fabric to the micro scale of radiolarian, a single cell organism, to investigate how issues of space saving and efficient material use are addressed in nature. The final project asked the students to speculate how ‘twin revolutions in infotech and biotech ‘ (Harari, Y, 2018) will drastically change healthcare and the patients and propose an extension to St Bartholomew’s Hospital. Successful interventions act as the node point interconnecting plurality of the past, existing and future; material and immaterial layers of the City, visualising this complexity in architectural form.

Studio 20 focuses on contemporary means of architectural design and space production, but at the same time remains interested in producing architecture that embraces all aspects of London’s historic, social, and cultural compositions. Both Year 4 and 5 investigated various aspects of design approaches focused on the spatial atmospheres of the poetic and a demonstration of social empathy, while considering change and adaptation. While our methodologies varied from, geometrical, technological and theoretical approaches to design development, we aimed for practical solutions in the execution of a design proposal. Year 4 focused on the theme of Architecture IN-Transit for emerging technological systems. They studied network systems designed for the cities needs, as well as user experience and comfort. We looked closely at the importance of historical context to propose architectural solutions to architectural issues occurring within our chosen sites. We proposed design solutions celebrating activities in relation to the context, but with keen consideration for the user. Year 5 focused on the theme of BIO-Organisms in relation to architecture and the Factory of the Future. While the growing population flocks to large cities and becomes increasingly dependent on public transportation, there is a deep-seated need within human beings to be somehow attached to nature. Just as important as efficiency and ease of travel, the need for people to be connected to the natural world while they make their way through an urban space is also an important factor. Students began the year with the investigation and study of different organisms, ranging from the molecular to the territorial scale and the relationship and influence to architecture.

MArch History and Theory-Critical Thinking teaching focuses on educating ‘architects to be’, graduates who will be able to critically assess and articulate orally and in writing the complex financial/political/ cultural/historical/social/legal issues interwoven with the production of architecture. By attending a series of lectures and working on writing assignments, students become interested in a different engagement with their design studio; they are enticed to incorporate knowledge of architectural history and theory into their design projects, and seek to reshape the conditions of contemporary cities and territories. • The Education of an Architect: Architecture Schools and Other Structures • Political Economies Designed: House/Heavens/Slums/ Parliaments • Architecture’s Gendered Subject: Feminist Historiography, Office Micro-politics and Stories of the Other • Architecture’s Ghost Stories 1: Monuments Conservation Practices and Ideology • Architecture’s Ghost Stories 2: Makeshift Homes and the Technological Utopias of the Sixties • Architecture’s Ghost Stories 3: The 90s Deleuzean Toolkit for Architects (or Nomads Trapped in Folds) • The Ethical Turn in Architecture and the Concept of the Anthropocene: Post-Catastrophic and Activist Design at • the dawn of the 21th Century • The Enchantment of Things: From Architectural Space to Architects’ Brain Plasticity • Thinking Practices: Non-Philosophy for Architects/ExperienceExperiments/ Dream-thinking • Design what? City Data/Territories of the Vertical/The Deep Blue The lectures invite students to acknowledge architecture’s interdisciplinarity and set up a framework that challenges given assumptions on architecture design, history and knowledge. Moreover, five Lectures-Workshops on Academic Writing and Research Methods introduce students to primary research requirements and assist them to assemble conceptual toolkits for thinking and discussing architectural issues.

At Masters level, students must be able to demonstrate an ability to balance design thinking and technological innovation through process, materials, and techniques - and be able to apply this to their architectural proposals. Innovation is coupled with formal and functional change that responds to the requirements of socially responsible technology. At MArch year 1, students’ thinking is developed through an understanding of energy conservation, material choice, and construction methods that aim to reduce the environmental impact industry currently imposes. Resource efficient design is also related to professional practice and the application of environmental research to support projects undertaken in the design studio. Energy and resource efficiency in design is delivered through a series of 10 lectures: • Sustainability policies, guidelines and sustainability statement • Thermal comfort and heat gains • Site layout, building form and internal considerations • Glazing, opaque elements and airtightness • Heating systems and controls • Materials and embodied energy • Resistance to sound • Timber and timber construction • Green products and sustainable building design • Underground structures and associated construction techniques Technology 5 underpins the Design 503 project, and introduces students to a range of innovative structural systems, materials and construction techniques that may then be adopted in their own design project. Technology 5: technical thesis is delivered through a series of 10 lectures: • Taxonomy of structures • Low technology and traditional materials • Structural form and design • Continuous and composite structures • Building skins and facades • Smart materials and intelligent systems • Long span and large volume structures • Optimisation through iterative form finding • Precedent studies – student presentations • Precedent studies – student presentations

DARLAB research and enterprise group
Sculpture Factory – ENTERPRISE PROJECT
Fibre Wonder – PUBLICATION AND RESEARCH PAPER
Since 2014 DARLAB generated over 120K of income. The Digital Architectural and Robotics Lab - DARLAB is a research and enterprise group initiated and developed by Federico Rossi.
The projects delivered more than 20K income for DARLAB and thanks to the established relationship all the future exhibitions of Quayola will be developed and supervised by Federico Rossi.
“Fibre Wonder – Architectural experiments through robotic fabrication and coding.” Presented by Onur ozkaya and Federico Rossi, for the 17th International Symposium ARQUITECTONICS NETWORK: MIND, LAND AND SOCIETY to be held on 29-30-31 May 2019 at the School of Architecture of Barcelona.
Current members are: Onur Ozkaya, Feng Zhou, Samuele Paglino Our research examines the changes in architectural production requirements that result from introducing digital manufacturing techniques. Our special interest lies in combining data and material and the resulting implications this has on the architectural design. The possibility of directly fabricating building components described on the computer expands not only the spectrum of possibilities for construction, but, by the direct implementation of material and production logic into the
design process, it establishes a unique architectural expression and a new aesthetic. Our areas of expertise include: • Computational Design and Process Innovation • Advanced Materials and Constructive Systems • Robotic Control and Digital Fabrication • Integrated Digital Design Processes • Robotic Additive Manufacturing
Sculpture Factory is the latest iteration of Quayola’s ongoing research on classical sculpture. Inspired by Michelangelo’s technique of “non-finito” (unfinished), the installation explores the tensions between form and matter, real and artificial, old and new.
Guided by sequences of algorithms, the robot finds its way through matter using unfamiliar strategies and patterns. The original artist’s hand and unique craftsmanship are eclipsed by the truly disinterested intelligence of the machine, and a surplus of viable possibilities.
A large industrial robot live-sculpts endless variations of ancient greek masterpiece Laocoon and His Sons. While never completing the full figure, each attempt discovers new articulations of matter. The result is a hybrid vision – a slow process of discovery not focused on the original figure but on the infinite possibilities of how to reach it.
DARLAB under the technical direction of Federico Rossi installed and produce live installation for Berlin VW, Linz Ars Electronica, Astana World Wide Expo, South Korea Paradise City, Shanghai.
The work developed for the taught module adaptive systems and structures part of the course MSc Digital Architecture and Robotic Construction at the London South Bank University, School of Built Environment and Architecture, Division of Architecture. It follows the chronological structure of course where initially students start to investigate the evolution and variations of biological forms in natural systems where form, structure and material act upon one another creating complex hierarchies. In support of the material behavior module, students
will start to develop computational design skills which are essential to recreate three-dimensional experiment or just develop small simple geometry components which can be assembled together or self-organized in complex structures. During the second semester, students will start to embed in their innovative design processes the constrains and inputs of manufacturing and constructibility using robotics, CNC fabrication, 3D printing and extensive material experiments.

MSc Digital Architecture and Robotic Construction Federico Rossi
DARLAB (Digital Architectural Robotics laboratory) is a research platform in architecture education that advances experimentation and cross-discipline collaboration among professors, students and industry partners to expand the boundaries of architectural practice. We are a mixed team of qualified experts from all over the world who work together to obtain the best results out of avant-garde technologies applied to architecture and design. The intention is to give to students and2.4 visitors a 360″ knowledge of this matter. The DARLAB is located in London South Bank University’s Southwark campus. Our teaching activities endow students with competences in dealing with the design and production aspects of digital fabrication and to involve them actively in research with our partners or other academics. We develop applications to consult with industry for specific uses. This could include large scale 3D printing, robotic milling, automation in building industry, 3D scanning and customised training. Often we collaborate with digital artists such as Quayola and United Visual Artists, engineers, and architects’ practices such as Zaha Hadid Architects to implement design to production processes. We have recently developed a new MSc course in Digital Architecture and Robotic Construction helping students to acquire those new skills required for industry, and architectural or engineering practice.

PROFESSIONAL PRACTICE / BUILDING CONTROL PART B VOLUMES 1 & 2: FIRE SAFETY - SHAAN ANNUT 3520580 The aim of this group assignment is to partition information about The TNG Youth & Community Centre by RCKa Architects into 6 categories of ‘Legislative And Professional Constraints’, each one individually curated by one of the 6 group members to which it has been assigned. I will be tackling Fire Safety – more specifically ‘Escape In Case Of Fire’ from the ‘The Government Approved Building Regulations Document Part B Volumes 1 & 2’ and this will encompass an analysis of how RCKa Architects have articulated their design vision/ethos around government regulations into an appropriate proposal. The purpose of this structure is to offer a multi-faceted base of operations capable of granting younger people access to healthy, character-building activites, thereby allowing developing community members to foster a positive mental outlook and prosperous future from an early age. Lewisham (The proposal’s home) had recognised this as a pressing issue for London’s safety as a whole well before the famous 2011 London riots, which are still
HEALTH CLINIC
A Youth Centre’s success by nature, is directly proportional to amount of lives it improves relative to how much it costs to orchestrate. It is a given that many generations of young people will filter through these structures, treating them as recreational hubs or retreats – which makes Fire Safety a top priority given the uniquely extreme stakes- which are only magnified by widely accepted stances on the British government’s lack of empathy for the more empoverished areas of London. The absence of adequate professional attention to the TNG Youth Centre’s Fire Safety could have very easily resulted in a catastrophe even more heartbreaking than the Grenfell Tower Fire of 2017, possibly then triggering an uproar even more devastating than the 2011 London Riots. Factors to be taken into account: A - Probability of a fire occurring. B - The anticipated severity of a fire. C - The structure’s ability to resist Smoke. D - The consequential danger to people in and around the building. Defensive measures to be considered and incorporated accordingly: A - Adequacy of means to prevent fire. B - Early fire warning. C - The standard means of escape. D - Provision of smoke control. E - Control of a fire’s rate of growth. F - Adequacy of the structure’s ability to resist fire. G - The degree of fire containment. H - Fire separation between buildings or parts of buildings. I - The standard of Active measures for fire extinguishment or control. J - Facilities to assist with the fire and Rescue Services. K - Staff training in Fire Safety and Fire Routines. L – Considering a third party under distinctive legislation to ensure the continued maintenance. M – Adequate Management.

BA[Hons]Architecture: Professional Practice Professional practice comprises a wide range of topics that connect acting ethically, design, technology, regulation, safety, costs, acting for clients, getting work, being paid, getting projects built, avoiding and dealing with problems, and aiming for success It is an underlying and supporting network; not a separate abstract topic, but most valuable and useful when fully integrated with design and design considerations. The course is structured as a series of 12 lectures, plus discussion and tutorial sessions. Topics covered include: conduct, discipline, professionalism; business of architecture; law; regulation and related issues; types of practice, aspirations; strategies and futures; preparation for Stage 1 experience in practice/year out. Topics are considered and reviewed at a level appropriate to this year of study. The coursework objectives are for students to research key aspects of professionalism, design and construction in order to gain a better understanding of how designers navigate through legislation, statutory control, finance, practicality and practice to get a project built, and an appreciation of the client’s perspectives and priorities, and how they could use these to persuade a potential client to provide them with a commission for a project. MArch Architecture - Professional Practice & Design Economics The Masters course is structured as a series of 12 lectures, plus discussion and tutorial sessions. Topics covered include: conduct, discipline, professionalism; business of architecture; law; regulation and related issues; types of practice, aspirations; strategies and futures; preparation for Stage 2 experience in practice/year out. Topics are considered and reviewed at a level appropriate to this year of study. The coursework objectives are for students to revisit and analyse one of their own projects as if it were to be constructed in the UK in 2019, to consider five specific aspects in the context of current statutory,
38
regulatory, and professional requirements, and to suggest amendments that would need to be made to achieve compliance with a view to successful implementation.

RIBA PROFESSIONAL PRACTICE PART 3 The RIBA Professional Practice Part 3 course aims to provide a rigorous, wide-ranging and comprehensive understanding of key topics in the subject area to prepare candidates for the final Part 3 examination, and to equip students with the competences to engage responsibly in modern professional practice and practice in a changing and challenging context. The examination is intended and designed to establish whether a student is competent to practice as an Architect in the UK, and is provided and assessed in accordance with the requirements of the RIBA/ARB shared Professional Criteria at Part 3. Each candidate’s experience of learning and development in professional practice will differ, depending upon the type of project, type and location of practice and management processes undertaken, and the preparation for the examination must therefore be approached in a structured way, with motivated self-learning. Students are encouraged not to rely solely on the subject matter and handouts in the lecture series, but take the initiative in wider reading and research. Students need to manage the relationship between professional experience and academic study to provide coverage of the Professional Criteria, presenting a critically reflective body of work that complies with the requirements of the professional studies adviser or course provider. To meet the Professional Criteria, the candidate’s experience should include evidence of commercial awareness, self-management, professional competence and integrity. A successful candidate should also be able to demonstrate authorship, knowledge, effective communication skills, and reasoning and understanding in relation to all issues within the Professional Criteria. The course is provided through approximately 20 lectures and seminars, group and individual tutorials, a role-play game on building contracts and their operation, and mock orals/professional interviews.

Introducing a train station in this area would improve connections to the wider city, making the area more accessible and boosting the local economy. The proposal also involves a market place which supports small local business within the area. Therefore, the scheme would provide a form of infastructure, which in turn would support growth, innovation and improved connectivity within Liverpool City Centre.

The scheme incorperates an open plaza at the front entrance which is a mixture of soft and hard landscaping with areas of seating, planting beds and trees. This reserves a good opportunity to develop a high quality landscaping proposal, however further input would be required by a landscape architect to work this up in further detail to meet planning requirements.
Effective street lighting would be provided illuminating the public realm and civic plaza. The large open place by the entrance is to be designed to be visible from the main road. Organised surveillance would also be provided in the appropriate areas.

The train station would reduce highway congestion, offering a sustainable mode of transport for nearby residential properties, schools and serving the wider industrial baltic triangle district. However, the current scheme shows no proposed car, cycle and scooter parking- this would require further analysis prior to formal submission.

BA[Hons] Architecture Architects have a unique conceptual and integrative role in the making of buildings and places, working in co-operation with clients, communities, and other co-professionals. The defining skill of the architect is design in the broadest sense – the ability to conceive of and elaborate on, functionally useful and culturally relevant physical artefacts that meet a range of human needs and evoke a positive aesthetic response. The importance of design is reflected in the BA[Hons] Architecture curriculum where design studio projects represent over 50% of the course structure in terms of assessed work. Design is underpinned by the core courses representing the extensive body of essential theoretical, cultural, technical, and professional knowledge required to underpin the subject and establish the intellectual credibility of architecture. The five areas below demonstrate the scope of the curriculum: • design studio projects • structures, construction technology, energy and resource efficiency in design • histories and theories: the cultural context of architecture • professional skills • media for architecture A pedagogic model is offered that emphasises studio and workshop activities, and engagement with the design process through critical analysis, drawing, and model making through both analogue and digital means. The acquisition of design knowledge and understanding is developed through studio design teaching and learning, and the delivery of other core elements through lectures, seminars, and skills workshops. Integration between coursework and studio projects may be implicit or explicit depending on the subject being taught. BA1 studio: Studio 1: Studio 2: Studio 3: Studio 4:

Studio 4 investigates, and responds to, those socio-economic factors which can both literally and metaphorically shape issues of context. Considering forces such as gentrification or urban alchemy, students’ design proposals are free to suggest alternatives to, or promotions of, the ubiquity of these situations. Through spatial and material translations of conditions uncovered when engaging with issues of site and type, the rigour of the studio’s research is expected to be juxtaposed with the indifferences of time and occupation - how can an informed proposal speak simultaneously to the past, present and future? While attempting to do so, can cultural and stylistic shifts be preempted through an architectural critique? The studio aims to address these issues through both the language of architecture, and the language of representation.

Sound & Light Study
STUDIO 3 Steve Bowkett Margarita Germanos Film, like architectural representation, engages us in an edited world; it explores space through journey and narrative, light and form, illusion and memory, often using a polarised reality to examine issues embedded within culture and society. The best film-makers share common ground with the best architects in that they will take a particular view of the world and then share that vision with the public. TSEW GNIKOOL NOITCES SSORC

Cinema is evolving as a transformative art form. Not only is new technology helping to drive this evolution (2D, 3D, 4D) but the emergence of ‘immersive cinema’, a hybrid between film, theatre and live event is helping to fulfill the desire for a more complete physical and intellectual experience. This studio will explore the new possibilities of an architecture designed around an analysis and understanding of notions of ‘cinematic space’. Jennifer Booth

We began the year by examining a number of iconic films and their directors, analysing their work through discussions, drawings, filming and mappings and utilising a variety of mixed media techniques. Using these studies, students will be encouraged to identify and frame their particular investigation and narrative via a series of creative projects, exploiting innovative approaches to new typologies.

By acknowledging that each territory exists within multiple times – past, present, future – and the world around us is always in the process of being remade, then change is the only constant. Rather than simply dismissing the past or trying to maintain it, we can embrace the area in-between, using its traces as clues‌ We are a design laboratory for imaginative thinking, testing and speculating. We take a holistic approach to theory and design, developing strong individual attitudes by research, curiosity and experimentation. We embrace the unknown, rigorously testing, exploring and questioning whatever we may find. Making is at our core. BAS2 looked into the reclamation, reuse and re-adaptation of buildings and territories by introducing new architectural proposals that are designed to work together with the existing built volumes and infrastructures. We explored symbiosis in architecture. Symbiont Territories could be permanent, flexible or temporary structures, which could be feeding off existing infrastructures and buildings. A symbiont works with existing infrastructures, and can be considered as an architectural intervention that materialises and transforms built form. The studio has a strong emphasis on model making and material exploration. Students were encouraged to challenge themselves through representing their ideas and processes beyond conventional modes. This was their chance to explore and learn new techniques and ways of working. It was experimental and accidental, thus highly creative.

STUDIO 1 Onur Ozkaya Matthew Morrish Synthetic Natures | Tabula Rasa Studio 1 examines the gradient between naturalised architecture and industrialized/synthetic nature. Examining apparent opposites, we are looking for continuities rather than fractures between landscape and the human demands placed upon it. We look at environments that are seemingly natural and find them to be man-made, and we utilise the nature that we find in our city. We conduct a negotiation between architecture and the increasingly or decreasingly natural or synthetic environments that it is situated within.
Afnan Al-lak
This year, we are working at 6 different sites on the River Lea. Both 2nd and 3rd years will have three different sites and agendas but the specific focus of the studio on the River Lea itself and its journey from Broxbourne to Trinity Buoy wharf (London). We are almost convinced that, like matter and space, the city is a discontinuous flow that melts into air at different degrees of concentration [Foreign Office Architects, 1993]

Carlene Prince Carlos Fenick-Sanchez Hyunbai Jun Kathy Gal Our conscious existence is forever changing and developing, as is our surrounding environment. Whether through our senses, instincts or evolutionary change, as designers our awareness and instinctive response to occupied space is crucial to the development and understanding of our sense of place. This year the sense of place becomes the social flux within the city of London.
Christian Likenyule
The complexities of the city and the constraints imposed on our existence, are directly related to our behavioural habits, reflected in our ritualistic movements and social interactions. These are guided by the synthesis of community, events, and enclosures, encouraged by exploring the spatial configurations generated through the public and private infrastructure, and fixed by the geometric forms of our built environment. By embracing the public/private realm within our urban landscape, BA Year 1 aims for the year are to explore the cultural, social, and economical diversity in our city, with the intent of defining avenues for a response to architectural forms and functions. By exploring a single geometric unit, ‘A Module’ of 2-dimensionality and its connectivity to another form, let us examine how this develops and merge to create a detail of 3-dimensionality; a component that supplements a structure with integrity – ‘The Linear Wall’.
Samia Almoujtahed
Karolina Hejduk BA[Hons]Architecture
The next phase: connection, interrogation and interruption of the site’s urban dynamics. Our visual awareness is fundamental to spatial development and contextual organisation of integrated elements within the site. The introduction of ‘Trade’ to the rigid conditions of the London Underground’s discarded arches, allows us to investigate the potential surroundings relative to the spatial geometry of ‘The Curve’. Moving to the heart of the City – ‘A Celebration’, to the Thames river waterway. Concluding the year questioning our visual perception of alternative propositions to public/private exploration, and a vision for architectural transition. . 58

MEDIA STUDIES – MODEL MAKING
MEDIA STUDIES _ ARCHITECTURAL PHOTOGRAPHY + COLLAGE SKILLS Spyridon Kaprinis _ 2018-2019
For this module, we will try to resist the temptation of digital generated models but instead focus on the core principles of model making. Concentrating on the visual properties of form (size, shape, colour, texture, origination, position), the aim of this course is to demonstrate the techniques and methods used within architectural model making. Every model should have a defined purpose (study model, material model, detail model or a presentation model are all different examples of this purpose) for this purpose we will develop a study model in the form of a border wall (group-work) used to test contextual, environmental and design ideas, as well as explore material options, structural integrity and spatial relationships.
The combination of architectural photography and collage is a powerful medium for architectural experimentation and synthesis, as it has the ability to precisely document, record and alter or distort three-dimensional forms and lighting conditions. This course will initially focus on important architectural photography & collage precedents, and then we will engage in a variety of exercises, with our main aim being to successfully manage to understand some of the basic rules of collage & photography synthesis. Architectural collage can become more than just aesthetic, as it may also act as a catalyst in re-conceiving architectural space in a multitude of novel scenographic ways.
Contrasting computer generated models, a physical model requires a practical and rational thinking process not only from an architectural perspective but also from a physics point of view. This will be a time to develop one’s own signature style of model making through means, methods and materiality, one that will evolve and develop throughout their academic studies.

MEDIA STUDIES - 2D & 3D CAD MODELLING In this course, students are introduced to the fundamentals of computer drafting and the tools used in methods by considering both 2d and 3d aspects. Students will learn basic computer drafting vocabulary, line weights and values, as well as the skills necessary to produce floor plans interior elevations, building sections, and detail sections and the application of 2-dimensional and 3-dimensional design elements. The student is also introduced to the visualization of concepts through 3d CAD by modelling exercises and other basic rendering skills in order to advance use of CAD for both drawing and modelling in order to advance their architectural projects in depth.
Communication I / II Kira Ariskina+Angela Vanezi Carlos Fenick-Sanchez Sypridon Kaprinis Onur Ozkaya+Federico Rossi Professor Lilly Kudic+Carlene Prince Communication modules involve teaching design techniques and technologies such as analogue drawing, 3D modelling and advanced digital design software such as Revit and Rhino. Communication 1 module introduces 2D drawing and drafting techniques with both digital and analogue media, while focusing on extensive physical modelmaking exercises in both group and individual settings. Communication 2 module covers the basics of 3D computer modelling, digital fabrication, photography, BIM, and is finally connected to development of a design project applying these skills. The teaching of advanced (&&.'" -"(' R I " "- % ," ' % 1 ' + "&(-!2 +" % "'(, digital drawing software packages is an essential part of the course while students supplement all taught workshops with extensive, self-managed practice in our studio environment.
During the 5 weeks sessions, we have introduced the key features of BIM and how it is used within the industry. The assessment requirements are addressed below responding to the material which has been studied throughout the 5 week sessions. The brief is split into two parts implemented into one report A4 format, which should be uploaded and submitted onto VLE by the 29th April.
PART 1 requires a 500 minimum word essay PDF format uploaded on to VLE responding to the below requirements: • Describe the level principles around how to implement and use BIM in the design, construction and operation of our built environment. Include a brief description of 2d and 3d pros and cons, explain in details the purpose, benefits, different uses and pros and cons of BIM. • Describe the different Levels of BIM and how these are implemented within the design stages. Introduce all levels of BIM from 0-5 including information on level of detail implemented in the design at each level (conceptual design, scheduling, cost estimation, energy analysis) • Describe the key factors of BEP and how this is used within a design scheme and proposal. The factors should include the different responsibilities, purpose and content of the document. Introduce the different roles which are included in the document and the responsibilities of each role.

BA Technology Essential Strucutres Professor Lilly Kudic Technology 1 [Studio] Carlos Fenick-Sanchez Technology 2 Angela Vanezi Technology 3 Angela Vanezi Technology is approached as a means of imagining materiality and stability fundamental to the design process, and involves definition of a critical strategy by each individual student. With courses offered at each level of the BA[Hons]Architecture programme, students’ technological enquiry starts with consideration of structural systems, and progresses through detailed case studies of exemplary small and medium size buildings to the holistic definition of structural, constructional, environmental, and detailed design content underpinning the degree project. Acknowledging that ideas about design change over the time spent refining that design, the final piece of work deals with sequences - either of drawings, or of technically-focused models recording iterative process, and the cumulative improvements/changes each shift represents. The sequence demonstrates the following principles: • how developmental, iterative design is informed by technology • the impact of different materials on constructional decisions • the influence of constructional decisions on spatial design • the impact of specification choices on the texture/ materiality/resource efficiency of the project • how carefully conceived physical models and 3-dimensional investigation document these phenomena

CULTURAL CONTEXT 1 Carlene Prince
Cultural Context 1 An introductory course in architectural history and theory, providing an outline survey of key components, buildings, cities, movements and personalities in the world of architecture. This module aims to give the student a grounding in the western tradition; to familiarise them with the defining characteristics of the architecture of each period; to elucidate the relation of architecture to culture; to allow the student to critically appreciate the value of historical study; to introduce the topic of the city. This module discussed a number of architecturally relevant cities and their strategic development through various periods of history, concerned with political, social and technological implications of city planning and design, touching upon key architects and projects within each of the cities.
CULTURAL CONTEXT 2 Stephen Lovejoy
Cultural Context 2 The module explores a series of definitions of what architecture ‘is’. These varied definitions were used to frame discussions on the act of architecture. A range of architectural styles and key figures and projects were introduced, each situated in their historical and theoretical context, starting from the very first architects all the way through to the present day. Cultural Context 3 This module explored the role that architecture plays in peoples’ lives, including the political, psychological and philosophical dimension of architectural design. This complex web of relationships will be explored at a range of scales and a variety of contexts, both historical and contemporary, and various critical interpretations will be introduced and examined.

Architecture, Drawing and the Primacy of Expression: What is an Architect?
This talk explores the potential of drawing in contemporary practice as a vital form of creative visual thinking. It argues that drawing, in all its varied forms and diversity of techniques, remains fundamental to primacy of expression in design professions that are increasingly globalised and homogenised. Architects engage in drawing as an experimental process, in order to work through problems - they draw in order to discover. The visual language of architecture is not simply a medium of communication, or illustration, but a process of thought, a kind of visual intelligence. This talk addresses the ways in which the visual intelligence of drawing is embodied in physical materials and actions, and considers the ways in which expressive mark making will continue to make a distinctive contribution as technical capabilities respond to the human challenges of design. Professor David Dernie is an architect and academic: key to his work is the practice of drawing, and questions of materials, colour and representation in architecture. His work focuses on drawings and creative thinking at the early stages of architectural design. Previously Head of Manchester and Leicester Schools of Architecture, he became Dean of the Faculty of Architecture and Built Environment at the University of Westminster in 2012. He ixs now Professor of Architecture at the Chinese University of Hong Kong. He was twice Rome Scholar in Architecture (1991-1993) and elected a Fellow at Fitzwilliam College, Cambridge (1999). He has lectured widely and exhibited his drawings internationally. In 2005 he curated and built the architecture section at the Prague international biennale for contemporary art and has consulted extensively in architectural and exhibition design. His published books include Architectural Drawing (2010,) Exhibition Design (2006), Material Imagination (2005), New Stone Architecture (2003), Villa dEste at Tivoli (1996) and Victor Horta (1995). Recent publications include: The Crystal Imagination, Architectural Research Quarterly; Elevating Mallarme‘s Shipwreck, in Buildings; Material Conditions of Drawing in Tracey; and Exhibition Design in Handbook of Interior Design. He has recently completed extensive revisions for the second edition of Architectural Drawing, Material Imagination in Architecture (Routledge 2016), Walking: Reflections (2017), Victor Horta: The Architect of Art Nouveau (Thames and Hudson, 2018) and a set of narrative collages and parallel text with author Olivia Laing entitled Shipwreck.

Storytelling, Nature, and Architecture
Tiny, small, and large projects will demonstrate a diverse range of architectural language built on two consistent pillars: place making through storytelling, and lessons learned from nature. Anna will talk about the intimate connection between architecture’s ability to construct narrative, the importance of making an authentic connection between project and place, and the role of elegant and lightweight structures used at a range of scales from nano to macro. Anna will also discuss why the role of the architect and their practice must always change from project to project, and how the ability to think creatively at a range of scales is critical to professional success. Anna Liu is an architect whose practice portfolio proves the value of becoming a versatile problem solver working in every area of design where invention and integrity are critical. The work of Tonkin Liu is internationally recognised as being truly innovative, and has been exhibited at the Royal Academy, the RIBA, and numerous high profile galleries. Anna Liu is a founder member and director of the practice, Tonkin Liu. Founded in 2001, the practice recently won the RIBA Stephen Lawrence Prize for their Old Shed: New House project (2018). Anna’s work with co-director Mike Tonkin covers a wide range of work including lightweight structures, sculpture and landscape, and nano-technologies. The practice has won 14 RIBA Awards, which recognise the best architecture in the UK, and around the world. Tonkin Liu was showcased in Taschen’s 40 Under 40 book on the future of architecture, and in The Architecture Foundation’s Guide to Britain’s Best Young Architectural Practices. The practice has appeared in The Independent’s The Faces To Watch, and on Grand Designs with the Camera Jewel House. Tonkin Liu’s Singing Ringing Tree was named one of the 21 British landmarks of the 21st Century. Tonkin Liu’s most recent project is the exhibition design for AI: More Than Human; a survey at the Barbican Centre of creative and scientific developments in Artificial Intelligence, exploring the evolution of the relationship between humans and technology.

5 years, 5 continents
Freedom via Soft Order
Yakim Milev is an architect and LSBU architecture alumnus. His presentation provides an overview of the most intriguing aspects of his first five years as an emergent professional. During this period, he mentions witnessing two football World Cups, a few royal weddings (and the birth of three heirs to the throne), the Brexit referendum on the day of his RIBA part 3 exam - and several unexplained aircraft crashes. Yakim’s story begins in August 2013 when he joined Architects of Invention, an office closely linked to the work of Will Alsop and Foster + Partners. Yakim had an immediate opportunity to work on a pavilion for the World Expo in Milan 2015 – followed by what he describes as a ‘most random’ masterplan for 10000 residential units, a highly intriguing broadcasting tower in Santiago, Chile, two of the most innovative office buildings in Moscow, and 23 other projects in various places around the world. As he approached his 30th birthday and working an average of 80 hours per week for a very modest salary, his boss rewarded his hard work by firing him. Despite this disappointment, Yakim’s significant portfolio secured him work with Conran and Partners where he developed the concept for the interior design of 76 apartments in the Barbican. Following this, Yakim joined Populous, the world’s most influential sports architecture practice. Due to confidentiality agreements, there is a significant amount he cannot discuss – but is free to mention the world cup in Qatar (twice), Tottenham FC’s new stadium, the transformation of the London Olympic stadium, interiors for Manchester City FC, and the new Australian national stadium. After two and half years at Populous, Yakim entered another highly productive period at Aecom, where on his first day he was faced with developing designs for a billion-dollar project in downtown Miami. This was followed by 12 months working on the longest suspension bridge in North America, Waterloo Station, the Silvertown and Stonehenge tunnels, and infrastructure projects in the Middle East. At the end of the year Yakim returned to sports design with his current practice, KSS; his latest projects include a bid for the expansion of Lords cricket ground, the Leicester City FC training ground, and a number of other sports related projects. He is currently working on a competition for a stadium in New York.

The work of Tonkin Liu is internationally recognised as being truly innovative, and has been exhibited at the Royal Academy, the RIBA, and numerous high profile galleries. Anna Liu is a founder member and director of the practice, Tonkin Liu. Founded in 2001, the practice recently won the RIBA Stephen Lawrence Prize for their Old Shed: New House project (2018). Anna’s work with co-director Mike Tonkin covers a wide range of work including lightweight structures, sculpture and landscape, and nano-technologies. The practice has won 14 RIBA Awards, which recognise the best architecture in the UK, and around the world. Tonkin Liu was showcased in Taschen’s 40 Under 40 book on the future of architecture, and in The Architecture Foundation’s Guide to Britain’s Best Young Architectural Practices. The practice has appeared in The Independent’s The Faces To Watch, and on Grand Designs with the Camera Jewel House. Tonkin Liu’s Singing Ringing Tree was named one of the 21 British landmarks of the 21st Century. Tonkin Liu’s most recent project is the exhibition design for AI: More Than Human; a survey at the Barbican Centre of creative and scientific developments in Artificial Intelligence, exploring the evolution of the relationship between humans and technology.
‘You cannot make a valid place only out of yearning or of trying to market nostalgia. But underneath it all there is a recognition that we need to regain the things that matter in the making of places: pedestrian scale; a close connection between living places and places to shop and, ideally, places to [Why Architecture Matters, Paul Goldberger] work; architecture that reinforces a sense of place rather than gets in the way of it.’
The work of Hodder + Partners is deeply rooted in an understanding of place, of programme, and indeed of serving humankind...the notion is that the architecture is founded on simply discovering these latent qualities. Stephen Hodder will illustrate this approach by reference to the work of his practice over the last 20 or so years at St. Catherine’s College, Oxford, the Manchester Architects Building of the Year at St. Clare’s, Oxford, and current projects in London and the north west. Stephen is the first winner of the RIBA Stirling Prize, a past president of the RIBA, and one of the foremost architects of his generation with a well-deserved reputation for creating thoughtfully conceived and beautifully crafted projects. Contexts-The Work of Hodder and Partners, a review of the achievements of Stephen’s practice, has recently been published by RIBA Publications. Hodder + Partners is the continuation of Hodder Associates, founded in 1983 by the practice principal, Stephen Hodder. The practice offers design and architectural services across all sectors, including interior design, master planning, and urban design. Hodder + Partners have a proven track record in high quality, innovative, and sustainable design solutions across many sectors, but with particular interest in residential, commercial, and higher education buildings. In 1992 the practice received the Royal Fine Art Commission/Sunday Times Building of the Year award for Colne swimming pool in Lancashire; this resulted in the commission to extend Arne Jacobsen’s Grade I listed St Catherine’s College, Oxford, a client relationship which has extended for over 20 years, culminating with the £8.7m phase 2 extension, which has now received 5 awards. In 1996, the practice received the inaugural Stirling Prize for the Centenary Building, University of Salford – and has since won over 40 major national awards. Hodder + Partners have realised significant projects in the leisure, cultural, higher education, residential, and commercial sectors; the practice is committed to producing thoughtful and sensitive solutions within commercial constraints.

After completing her Place, Programme, People studies at LSBU in 2012, Beatrix worked for Squire and Partners on a wide range of urban master plans, high rise mixed-use developments, and hotels and residential blocks with up to 250
‘You cannot make a valid place only out of yearning or of trying to market nostalgia. But underneath it all there is a recognition that we need to regain units; she combined her practice work with supporting studio design in the university. Beatrix then moved back to her native Budapest when she was offered the role of Project Manager for the things that matter in the making of places: pedestrian scale; a close connection between living places and places to shop and, ideally, places to the Architecture and Urban Planning team bidding for the Budapest 2024 Olympics and Paralympics. [Why Architecture Matters, Paul Goldberger] work; architecture that reinforces a sense of place rather than gets in the way of it.’ As with all modern Olympic bids, this project involved a comprehensive reimagining of the entire city, its infrastructure, and the arenas and civic facilities needed for such a major sporting and cultural event.

Stephen Hodder will illustrate this approach by reference to the work of his practice over the last 20 or so years Budapest is full of life with a vibrant history beginning 145 years ago, when three cities were unified into one. The most historic part of the city is Buda, which houses the royal castle constructed atin St. Catherine’s College, Oxford, the Manchester Architects Building of the Year at St. Clare’s, Oxford, and current projects in London and the north west. Stephen is the Middle Ages, whilst Obuda is the home of winemakers and the Roman industrial town. The irresistibly developing modern Pest, located on the east side of the Danube River, connects the first winner of the RIBA Stirling Prize, a past president of the RIBA, and one of the foremost architects of his generation with a well-deserved reputation for creating both areas. These three cities not only share a common will, but are also connected and united by Europe’s longest river, the Danube – without which, Budapest would not exist. This is a thoughtfully conceived and beautifully crafted projects.

Yakim Milev is an architect and LSBU architecture alumnus. His presentation provides an overview of the most intriguing aspects of his first five years as an emergent professional. During this period, he mentions witnessing two football World Cups, a few royal weddings (and the birth of three heirs to the throne), the Brexit referendum on the day of his RIBA part 3 exam - and several unexplained aircraft crashes. Yakim’s story begins in August 2013 when he joined Architects of Invention, an office closely linked to the work of Will Alsop and Foster + Partners. Yakim had an immediate opportunity to work on a pavilion for the World Expo in Milan 2015 – followed by what he describes as a ‘most random’ masterplan for 10000 residential units, a highly intriguing broadcasting tower in Santiago, Chile, two of the most innovative office buildings in Moscow, and 23 other projects in various places around the world. As he approached his 30th birthday and working an average of 80 hours per week for a very modest salary, his boss rewarded his hard work by firing him. Despite this disappointment, Yakim’s significant portfolio secured him work with Conran and Partners where he developed the concept for the interior design of 76 apartments in the Barbican. Following this, Yakim joined Populous, the world’s most influential sports architecture practice. Due to confidentiality agreements, there is a significant amount he cannot discuss – but is free to mention the world cup in Qatar (twice), Tottenham FC’s new stadium, the transformation of the London Olympic stadium, interiors for Manchester City FC, and the new Australian national stadium. After two and half years at Populous, Yakim entered another highly productive period at Aecom, where on his first day he was faced with developing designs for a billion-dollar project in downtown Miami. This was followed by 12 months working on the longest suspension bridge in North America, Waterloo Station, the Silvertown and Stonehenge tunnels, and infrastructure projects in the Middle East. At the end of the year Yakim returned to sports design with his current practice, KSS; his latest projects include a bid for the expansion of Lords cricket ground, the Leicester City FC training ground, and a number of other sports related projects. He is currently working on a competition for a stadium in New York.

The Transition to Practice: A talk by Harbinder Birdi and Monika Jociute Harbinder Birdi is a senior partner at the award-winning practice of Hawkins\Brown Architects, who are sector leaders in education, commercial, residential, and transportation buildings. Harbinder was a featured speaker in previous iterations of the LSBU Open Lecture series, and is a very good friend and supporter of LSBU architecture. Harbinder was joined for this presentation by Monika Jociute, an LSBU architecture alumna and member of the Hawkins\Brown team. Harbinder and Monika discussed the culture of practice and how to succeed in the professional working environment. This was framed around parts 1, 2, and 3 â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and reviewed the skills graduates can bring to practices at each level. The presentation concentrated on the skills employers look for, so Harbinder and Monika discussed how to properly prepare for an interview and make absolutely the right impression to future employers. And, as architectural practice is never static but develops in response to local, national, and international economics, there was also a focus on innovation in practice and how Harbinder and Monika saw the role of the professional practitioner evolving, providing real insights into how to successfully make the transition from academic education to professional practice.

RIP John Andrews Our Open Lecture series from this academic session is respectfully and affectionately dedicated to the memory of John Andrews, who died unexpectedly a few months after his presentation at LSBU. John was my friend, mentor, and supporter over more than 35 years - and was simply the most unique and warm individual I have ever met. He was an architectural educator of the highest order, always positive, and looking forward to the next conversation; he lived to be with people, and bring his love to their lives. John taught for many years at the AA, RMIT Melbourne, and the University of Brighton â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and will be sadly missed by everyone who ever met him. Professor Lilly Kudic
