INTRODUCTION
Welcome to the Year Book 2016. The study of architecture and design demands effort and constant critical attention. This Year Book represents the relentless curiosity students bring to their design work, and I hope you thoroughly enjoy all that is revealed. We are renowned for our professional programmes, confirmed last year by the RIBA Visiting Board, and the positive commentary gave us confidence in our aspirations for the School and the quality of our students. Building upon the strength of teaching, we have further developed the social context for the study of architecture, from the small interventions in Apulia and Portsmouth, the study of existing and historic building stock, to the urban scale of Athens and London, all the while investing in the idea of the city. The School has formed new relationships in Greece, Hong Kong, China and Brazil, and our reach is becoming truly global. We can reflect on the similarities of architecture everywhere but as a school we remain committed to the notion of a context driven resolution that responds to local needs and makes a difference. Students are challenged to address the poetics of architecture, urban issues and cultural meaning; the specificity of design pulling together community engagement and social needs. Alongside these design issues we ask for attention to detail, consideration for the environment and innovative technology. Our aim is for students to have the knowledge and understanding to act appropriately in the world. Professor Steffen Lehmann joined us in January; his focus on sustainable cities brings a compelling alternative vision, reimagining what the city can be. His immense enthusiasm to develop research that focuses on Portsmouth, its environs, and what the city and region has to offer will open greater opportunities for post-graduate research and the development of platforms of contention for study at all levels in the School. The work you see here is the culmination of a year of study, and is animated by a strong belief in design as a social activity that has the ability to mediate the relationship between individuals and groups; proposing ways of living in a given culture. Our students have worked to expand our definitions and the results of their leaps of imagination and the rigour of their thinking is provoking and exciting. I am delighted to share this with you, as they step towards a role in the world. Pam Cole, Head of School

THESE TRUTHS WE HOLD
We believe that architecture is particular and concerned with the nature of place, site and the act of making but beyond this boundary it is also connected to the wider horizon; a horizon that unites the unique design project with the wider world and our responsibilities to that world and the generations that will come. As such to design is a deeply ethical act and an acute awareness of the narrow and broader context in which architecture is made guides that which we do. We believe that whilst architecture is a discipline far reaching and interconnected we must never lose sight of our core activity and value our unique skills and contribution to society. When we think of design, we think firstly of place. Whilst quantifiable analysis is a necessary skill, reading and adopting a position that states values is more. To read a context requires a position and the stance we take determines how we understand the meaning of place and in turn make meaningful places ourselves. We believe that design is an aspirational act it is about improvement of both those that it serves and those who enact it. Design as an attitude of mind is nurtured, practiced and refined. We give ourselves space to think about what we do and how we do it. There is much beauty to be found in the everyday, the skill is to know how to see it. The art is one of looking sideways, to look with eyes that seek and a mind open to enquire of the ordinary and to see it with sense of wonder and make that extraordinary. When we talk of the practice of the architect we think of not only of what is made but how in its making it comes to be in one way and not otherwise. Our concern is with the many who make buildings, for whom they are made and seek to understand their hopes and dreams and how we shall bring them together so that in the end the rewards of satisfaction is equally shared. The bringing together of people to a single goal is complex and our example and conduct must stand as a measure of the quality of that which will come. To be prudent and to spend well is important as too the avoidance of the extravagant and ostentatious but equally we shall need to know what it is that must be valued that for the sake of the whole must not be lost. Where once we built on virgin land today our territory is overwritten with traces of those who preceded us, of the buildings they made and the memories of who they once were are cast into the fabric of our cities. For as us they too once wished to live on in time. We must work with them and not erase their presence and memory. So we concern ourselves with that which exists and with which we must work. We shall think how we can respect this, being careful to make sure it can still breathe with the life it once had. We are conservators and custodians of a collective heritage. To build one must inevitably destroy and we should not take such steps lightly. Our duty to the past may be strong but our responsibilities to the future are pressing. We must learn how to work with both. LEFT: BA3 Arch – Jonathan Radford – Almshouses for an Active Third Age
As we work with memories and dreams we come to realise how these are cast into the stones of the city whose fabric bears our collective past and the future of those who will 9

come. We have a belief in and of the city, the greatest artefact of mankind and the theatre of great human events and for this our school and university are in their heart civic. We are concerned with authentic problems, the real yet lyrical places where our city and region are the laboratory for considerations of the convergence of people, place and planet. For whilst urban implies the blocks of stone from which the city is made, civis unites these with the affairs of man and is the how and why of Man’s need to live in this world amongst others towards a shared future. This shapes our society and the form it takes, so too shapes our buildings and in turn they shape our lives. Our buildings are bound in the play of the one to the many. We believe in an architecture that is made in the belief that it will last. Our buildings should endure, they should live long and useful lives. Our architecture should be robust in the face of the future, of the changing needs and demands of those who will come and who should still be able to delight in its making and the service it affords for many years. When we think of our building’s making we should consider its impact, not just in the specifics of its location. The effects of making architecture are far reaching and long term. We should consider those who craft the parts from which it is built, how those parts were made and by whom. What lives did those distant contributors live and did the needs of our building enrich or diminish their lives and the world around them. We shall think of those who come to use our buildings, the young and the old, we shall wonder how they will understand that which we made and how it might enrich their lives. We shall think of this unique place on the earth, of how this place will change with the passing of time. The rising and setting of the sun and the seasons of the year will be our concern. Of the days of the year, of heat and cold, of wind and rain and snow. We shall think of architecture in all of these changing conditions and how our building will endure and age with grace to continue to shelter those within. For those who dwell in the place we make we shall wonder how our building brings them close to the passing seasons so that they too can age, knowing of the passing of time. In this we shall wonder how our buildings will be near to them at different times in their lives, of their joys and sorrows and how that which we have made might ease their anxiety, carry their hopes and frame their joys. We shall think of our building as the bearers of their memories and concern ourselves with how architecture carries these. In this we shall consider the nature of beauty and how architecture is part of art and the carrier of human perception, emotion and belief. We shall wonder how in our time we have understood and given meaning to the world around us through that which we build. In this way our architecture shall be meaningful and it should speak of where we are upon the earth, the nature of our time and the values we held. And when we look back at what we have done, of what we made and how we made it we shall know that we created something of worth. Something that made a contribution to the few but spoke to the hearts of the many.

BA1 ARCHITECTURE & INTERIOR ARCHITECTURE AND DESIGN Our undergraduate courses are combined across the BA Architecture and Interior Architecture & Design in the first year. This gives the students an experience where they are introduced to aspects that are common to the two disciplines. The School welcomed students from across the world, with different levels of experience and from a broad range of educational backgrounds. An intensive induction week started the year with a full, fun packed program, which set the scene of learning to be a designer and culminated with a student competition to design and build an iconic design theme: a chair, using just recycled cardboard. The first year programme is designed to introduce fundamental design principles with particular focus on spatial planning and critical thinking associated with design from the scale of interior, to the building and the city scale. Specialist staff from architectural and interior practice supports the design studios with enthusiasm, through a series of short projects and events. Projects included dissecting a house with a paradigm study called ‘Autopsy’, surveying and hand drawing an elevation study, designing an observatory on emotive wonderful sites around the island and developing an interior project linked to inspiring films. Each project builds on the skills from the previous towards the final project of the year. During our project weeks this year students selected from a range of activities and live projects. Some of the options were:
ABOVE: Chair Workshop Induction Week LEFT: BA1 Arch – Gabrielle Mosco – Creative Hub
•
Live Project for City Life Church, Portsmouth. Working as part of the Project Office, students embarked on the redesign of a local church. The project lasted for four days with the students working in teams. Students presented their final designs to the client at the end of the process. This enabled them to build confi -dence and develop skills suitable for employability in their chosen professions.
•
The Best City in the World event: exploring London & the Thames through draw -ings. Students spent a day in the city making quick sketches of spaces, places and catching the spirit of the city. Work was exhibited in the School.
•
The Observatory Project: Students went to visit the RIBA award winning Observatory artist’s studio in Lymington designed by Feilden Clegg Bradley. They had the opportunity to explore the design with the architects and to engage with the artist Jilly Morris experimenting with her techniques.
•
Local Landmarks: Students interested in exploring heritage treasures went for a one-day trip to visit Portchester Castle & Fort Nelson, two very impressive and well-preserved forts around Portsmouth. 13
BA1 ARCHITECTURE & INTERIOR ARCHITECTURE AND DESIGN •
The Making workshop: One-day Student competition about designing and making the model of a temporary structure.
Students experience working on design problems both individually and collectively. In addition to design units, the taught courses include modules on technology, representation and context. Learning about structures, materials and construction techniques; being able to communicate ideas through freehand, analytical or CAD drawings; informing design through aspects of theory and history. These are all key skills part of the learning experience. The annual Make & Break challenge when students work in teams to design, build and test a structure made of balsa wood is an extraordinary example of the enthusiasm of students in these subjects. Chair Workshop Induction Week
The final project of the year is the point where Architecture and Interior Architecture separate in order to develop their distinctive identities. It is the point in the year where students consolidate and refine their design skills gained throughout the year in preparation for moving into the second year of their studies.
Architecture: Creative hub
Architecture students were asked to design a creative hub in Portsmouth, a place for creativity and innovation where creative practitioners and businesses from in and around Portsmouth will be able to meet, discuss and generate new ideas and projects. The sites were all based in high street locations in Southsea, Portsea and Portsmouth City Centre. The students explored these key areas and put together inspiring videos that reflect the character and the distinctive identities of these different areas. All these findings were presented in the studios and helped them to investigate design opportunities for the city in relation to the final project theme.
Interior Architecture & Design: Coffee house
BA1 Arch – Activity Week Project Office
14
Our first year Interior Architecture and Design students were asked to design a coffee house in Albert Road, currently Errand Jervis Printers. The road offers a lively environment, full of individual and quirky shops, cafes and restaurants. Students investigated the social history of the coffee house, focusing on the way that the meaning and use of the space has changed and its relevance today. We visited Brighton, which has a thriving coffee culture supporting a wide range of independent coffee outlets, in order to research and analyse the functional aspects of a place for coffee consumption. Students were able to develop the project brief by working with a particular user group and creating a unique identity for their design. Students produced a range of spatially creative ideas, through the process of design from understanding and working in an existing building for the first time through to designing furniture.

BA2 ARCHITECTURE LEFT: BA2 Arch – Ali Rafique – Market Hall Project – Perspective Section Students enter BA2 equipped with some fundamental knowledge, skills and processes they have learned in first year and, with an emphasis on increasing self-consciousness, begin with an exploration of the context, motives and design devices of some of the key architects of the 20th and 21st centuries. The research and presentation of this evolving paradigm project acts as an introduction to the first design project, ‘Retreat’, in which a complex programme and site constraints are set against a requirement to respond sympathetically and lyrically to a picturesque landscape set on the Isle of Wight. How do they create architecture with both environmental responsiveness and spiritual delight? The second major design project, ‘Viva-City’, introduces the students to the complexity of an urban context with the design of a covered market and restaurant. The project offers a valuable insight into the history and the current nature of what we mean by ‘the market’; what it once was and, in a digital age, what it might become. This project also offers the opportunity for discussions around this building typology in a social, economic, political and environmental sense. The location in central Portsmouth next to Portsmouth and Southsea railway station represents a design opportunity to respond to a strategic site that acts as a gateway and mediator for the city. The project encourages connections to be made between architectural design and materiality and structure in contemporary public buildings and is preceded by a market-stall design competition.

BA3 ARCHITECTURE
The final year of the Bachelor’s Degree brings together the students’ skills and experiences consolidated into two major design projects, a major written text in the form of a dissertation along with a technology course linked to the final design project. This integrated comprehensive design project forms the culmination of three year of study and combined with the professional practice studies prepares students for their future careers and architectural practice. Both of the major design projects this year were set in the city of Winchester and addressed design for an aging population and the choice of project was made to align with the school’s core value that architecture should have a social imperative and be inclusive in its approach. Working with the generous support and collaboration of The Orders of St John Care Trust and the architects of the prestigious Hampshire County Council Property Services the projects brought students into contact with real clients around the design of future homes, care and support for the elderly. Central to this was a belief that old age is better lived as part of a community that includes the whole of society and, rather than segregating the old, the projects actively seek to create the opportunities for their inclusion of residents across all aspects of the life of the city. This ambition was for students to devise design strategies that would find common ground and develop projects through which young and old could come together, establishing ways in which the an ever growing aging population could maintain ties with their past in which their skills and abilities would be valued whilst maintaining active and progressive life that embraced the future. The city was seen as the theatre for these interactions and as a receptacle of human life across the years which when considered imaginatively could create crucible for new possibilities, and breathe new activities and vitality to the city of Winchester The first project addressed a series of vacant sites that ran form outside of the City walls, crossing the river and ending in the Cathedral grounds. Conceiving of these disconnected sites as a golden thread students developed different activities, buildings and events in the form of a life giving architectural artery through the city. Students initially worked in groups to devise this chain of activities and functions that would provide inclusive forums that would bring all aspects of the community together. Building on this urban strategy students then individually developed one or more of the sites in more detail, which when finally seen together made a sophisticated and often radical programmatic and formal urban plan, the whole of which was greater than the sum of the parts. The second project took the Market Car Park site and area close to the historic heart of the City, but largely overlooked and somewhat disconnected from the street life of Winchester. By considering overlapping activities that bring communities together and bridge the LEFT: BA3 Arch – Jonathan Radford – Almhouses for an Active Third Age

BA3 ARCHITECTURE
divide of age and background, the project sought to retain the market activity, but to also add to this a place for the elderly to live and work. Central was the idea that the housing should form part of the urban fabric and opportunities should be developed for the kind of formal and incidental interactions that would bring both residents and the wider community into each other’s company. For this communal workshops and meeting rooms gave the opportunity for the residents to remain active through the provision of facilities that would enable them to continue to practice and share activities and skills developed over a long life, whilst the meeting rooms and areas for food preparation could find uses for the community at large. The second project required not only an ambitious approach to inclusive design on a complex urban site but also a high level of detailed resolution. The project was linked to the taught technology unit requiring students to achieve a high level of structural, and environmental resolution so that the final building technically, economically, environmentally and socially sustainable. The dissertation unit provided students with the opportunity to undertake a focused textual and visual research project. Many took the opportunity to use this research to support their design ideas, whilst others used the opportunity to explore in depth a subject of personal interest that they had developed from their other studies. For many students this project was the start of a journey that became key to the development of a personal design philosophy and will no doubt carry them onwards in their future professional careers. Communication skills are also developed with a view towards readiness for a professional career as an architect and students are guided in the development and submission of a professional CV leading to ‘mock’ interviews with practitioners drawn from a large regional pool. The CV and interviews are linked with a lecture series on professional practice, a unit which culminates in the design and construction of the public end-of-year exhibition, showcasing the exceptional qualities of our degree cohort.

BA2 INTERIOR ARCHITECTURE & DESIGN The BA2 Interior Architecture and Design programme introduces the students to new themes and approaches that aim to improve their conceptual thinking; the functional rigour of their design with a particular focus on users’ experience and needs; their representation and communication skills; their understanding of interior histories and theories, and their awareness of economic, environmental and social concerns for designers. Throughout the year tutors use the design briefs to engender a spirit of experimentation and analysis in the students which encourages risk taking and pushing the boundaries of design practice and thinking. The first design project, Forming Fashion, asked the students to investigate and explore the links between Fashion and Architecture through direct experiences of making, working with fashion designers and creating a retail and display space for a particular client. The site for the unit is intentionally generic which allows students to explore their own context and parameters for their design generating sculptural responses which form a variety of relationships with the host space. This is nurtured and reflected in a series of design exercises such as drawing with materials and the relationship between cloth and the body in fashion design. When developing their designs, students were asked to articulate and apply approaches to sustainable retail design, giving particular consideration to their use of materials. In addition, students were encouraged to engage in experimental making and drawing processes - processes informed by Thomas Heatherwick case studies and examples of other designers making processes. BA2 IAD – Aimee Watson – Interior Intervention
The project’s emphasis on materials was reinforced by the Interior Technology Unit, which enhanced technical skills and understanding of interior environments and developed part of the Forming Fashion project in detail. This resulted in some outstanding detail drawings of stairs and developed skills and understanding that the students applied to the second more substantial design project, A Place at the Table. A Place at the Table introduced the students into the social aspect of design and the idea of working within an actual historic building. The project briefs were informed by the students’ investigation of the relationship between design and food processes, from production to consumption and waste. Concepts were developed using analytical and experimental model-making and drawing processes; these experiments coupled with their rigorous research and analysis of the Royal Garrison Church and their thorough understanding of their own briefs, has led to very well-substantiated, creative and functional designs which have been represented using an impressive range of CAD and hand-drawn techniques.

BA3 INTERIOR ARCHITECTURE & DESIGN Building on their prior learning, the final year of study is designed to prepare the students to be creative, analytical and responsible professionals and to help them position themselves for practice or further study, with great confidence and enthusiasm. To prepare for this significant transition the students began the year by investigating issues of interior identity through a rigorous engagement with both theory-led and practice-based research: reflective and analytical processes that allowed the students to identify and express their interests, ethical code, values and position within interior practice. As part of this investigation, the students participated in conversations about gender, sensory design, historic buildings conservation, and the relationship between film and the interior; they were also very fortunate to work with local artist, Eileen White, who led an inspiring workshop to investigate narratives of place and reflective, tactile making processes. One of the highlights of the year was the 10-week live project where our students were able to work with inspiring and provocative clients, Ben French and Charles Haskell. The brief was to create a WWI museum to house a nationally significant collection of artefacts in Bastion 6, a Grade 1 listed building that forms part of the Hilsea Lines. The students responded with great sensitivity and integrity to the historical context of both the site and the collection and developed designs that revealed the personal narratives embedded in the artefacts. We would like to use this opportunity to thank Ben and Charles for supporting our students and for their encouraging words. BA3 IAD – Interior Making Unit 380 – Workshop with artist, Eileen White
The dissertation unit provided students with the opportunity to undertake a focused textual and visual research project. Some took the opportunity to use this research to support their Interior Major Project, others to explore in depth a subject of personal interest. For many students, this project was the start of a journey that became key to the development of a personal design philosophy. For the Interior Major Project the students selected a site, identified their client and wrote their design brief in response to a clearly articulated social, economic or political need. The students progressed a diverse range of project types including a community farm and kitchen for the Imagination Refinery on the Isle of Wight; accommodation and training facilities for unemployed and homeless people, centres for charities and businesses such as Mind and Scope, community arts centres, retail design, restaurants and exhibition design. As part of the project the students were encouraged to develop their approach to materials and detailing through prototyping and to be very ambitious with their approach to representation and communication - they have been bold and courageous in their response to this challenge, and they have produced some exceptional work.

BA3 INTERIOR ARCHITECTURE & DESIGN In preparation for professional practice, our students visited a range of design practices in London and Winchester and participated in the annual mock interviews. They were also visited by several of our alumni who gave inspiring and motivating talks: Emily Downing who has been working in China and is now working in Holland for Frame and Mark magazine, Gajan Panchallingham who has been working in Germany for Jack Morton, April Battrick who is working with an excellent local practice and Agnieszka Stawowska who is already running her own interior design business – very impressive new professionals!
Gajan Panchallingham at Jack Morton
“Jack Morton are a brand experience company, for which the exhibits department (which I am working for) is one of many. Other departments range from marketing, graphics, public engagement etc. Examples of Jack Morton’s work includes the London New years fireworks, opening and closing ceremony of the Olympics, broadcast set design for The Late Show with Steven Colbert (a huge talkshow in the US) amongst many others. My role includes architectural designing for tradeshows, installations, concept development, storyboarding and visualisation. I have worked on huge trade-shows including Ooredoo & Ericsson at the Mobile World Congress 2016 in Barcelona, and developed the main concept and design for a trade-show with Novartis in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, and helped model in 3D an installation for their campus in Basel, Switzerland, which was placed for a week in front of the Frank Gehry building.” – Gajan Panchallingham
It has been a very successful year with some well-deserved, outstanding results; the students have set new standards, and we hope they are very proud of their achievements. We know our students are very well positioned to make confident choices about their future and to make positive contributions to society - we wish them happiness and every success in their future careers, and we would like to thank all those who have contributed to their learning.

MASTER OF ARCHITECTURE (MArch) Exploration, collaboration, research and reflective practice underpin the work in the Master of Architecture (MArch) Course at the University of Portsmouth. Design studios are the core of the MArch studies, supported by Arche, Techne, and Thesis units. Each design studio provides its own intellectual framework, support, and resources for students to determine the agenda and direction of their design and research. Sustainability, social responsibility and the importance of place are part of the ethos shared by all of the studios, and taken forward into the diverse range of UK and international studio projects. Studio field trips and workshops, both local and international, provide students with opportunities to engage in the context of practice, collaborating with professionals, schools, residents, researchers and government agencies. The MArch Course provides exemption from ARB/ RIBA Pt II, and can be studied over 2 years full-time or 4 years part-time. Our overarching aims are to: • provide a challenging, supportive, and collaborative environment to help students’ explore and develop strong design skills • engender in students self-motivated and mature intellectual enquiry into a range of specific architectural and related areas of discourse, exploration and practice • provide a technical and contextual framework to support design explorations build upon and broaden students’ academic and professional skills • Supporting these aims are the six design/research studios, aligned with the School of Architecture research clusters: Studio 1: Architecture, Culture & Identity: Narratives of London • Studio 2: Embodied Landscapes: Exposing the Genius Loci • • Studio 3: In-Between Spaces: Architecture + Urbanism (A&U) • Studio 4: Emergent Studio: Spatial Archaeology - What is Architecture Of, On and Around the Edge? • Studio 5: Making, Understanding and Doing (MUD): Portsmouth: The Anatomy of “The Island City.” • Studio 6: Tactical Urbanism: Radical Future Scenarios: Portsmouth University Campus 2050 In addition to the design studio, the Techne and Arche Units support students’ design explorations by providing theoretical, historical, environmental, structural, material, professional and intellectual rigour during the first year, MArch 1. During the second year, MArch 2 students undertake a written Thesis Dissertation and Thesis Design project, supported by thesis preparation and professional studies units. Practicing structural and environmental engineers join key studio sessions throughout the year focusing on the integration of engineering strategies and systems in both urban and architectural design. This input supports the students in the detail technical resolution of their urban and architectural design projects. MArch1 – Robert Bathgate – Manifesto – Understanding Architecture

MASTER OF ARCHITECTURE (MArch) Studio 1: Architecture, Culture & Identity: Narratives of London Studio 1: Architecture Culture and Identity, is interested in re-activating lost and threatened social identities through contemporary architecture, which draws upon memories & narratives of Place. Students through processes of creative writing, artistic intervention, documentary and site-based investigation have worked to develop contemporary design interventions that fully engage with cultural values embodied in complex historically-layered contexts. As Buckminster Fuller notes: ‘Past, present and future, memory and prophecy are woven together into one continuous whole. In a clear understanding of the past lies our hope of the future’.
MArch1 – Studio 1 – Ani Hadzhipetrova – Fleet Valley Project
The studio addresses the challenge set by the Farrell Review of architecture and the built environment to reconcile heritage and modernity through contemporary place-based design (Our Future in Place, 2014). It engages with research and creative practice to uncover collective cultural memories and evaluates authenticity of Place as drivers for new propositions. In 2015, ACI has worked with MSc Historic Building Conservation students. This year specific sites are linked within a defined urban strip running from Potters field in the south to Kings Cross in the North, shared by students from both M’Arch years 1 and 2. This linkage has allowed a layering of narratives and reading of place using the urban strip itself as an armature. Projects developed range from a Butchery School linked to Smithfield market, re-imagining the lost Fleet and a project for bathing and well-being at Mount Pleasant, new journalism school and museum St Brides, Fleet Street, an adaptable Theatre at Belle Sauvage Yard to a Clay heritage and innovation centre at Battle-bridge Basin; From Social transformation through Music at the Foundlings Hospital Site and a new F1 London Grand Prix Pit lane and technology Centre at Blackfriars Bridge.

MASTER OF ARCHITECTURE (MArch) Studio 2: Embodied Landscapes: Exposing the Genius Loci Our studio is founded on the belief that architecture is about place-making and our aim is to reveal the spirit of place – the genius loci – in our work. Our position in the landscape, be it urban or rural, is all-embracing. We cannot consider where the distant hills meet the sky without looking at the flower in the crevice at our feet; whether or not context is overtly reflected in your designs, we believe it cannot be ignored. We make no distinction between the care we give to the design of built form or the land surrounding it or if it is outside or inside. We have had three preoccupations this year, acting as the vehicles for our place-making: Book : Ruin : Tourist The book operates as a means of representing narrative, but we stretched its meaning as a metaphor for presenting a collective idea beyond the containment of binding and book cover. Sverre Fehn has defined the relationship between buildings and their locations as a ‘confrontation’, where the opposition of nature (or landscape) and architecture seek reconciliation. One example of this embodiment is the ruin. The industry of tourism has often been damaging to the landscape, becoming self-consuming and destructive to the culture that is being put on display. We have a responsibility to look beyond the veneer of superficial tourism and allow it to sustain its location rather than degrade it. Our first projects were in Chawton, in Hampshire. Jane Austen, lived and wrote here and her brother’s house now contains a collection of rare women’s literature. Chawton House is within a large estate and the proprietors are seeking a means of linking the inside of the house with the landscape and attracting more visitors. We proposed ideas for promoting more visitors. Working collectively as a studio, in collaboration with MA interior design students. The next site was in Faliron, Athens, which we visited in November. It is a coastal site, rich in heritage, being adjacent to the ancient port of Athens, Piraeas. There are issues of tourism, ruin and urban sprawl to be dealt with. MArch1 students were asked to consider what kind of library might be placed on the site. Some students were unable to go to Athens and prepared a similar project for a site in Chawton.
78
MASTER OF ARCHITECTURE (MArch) After Christmas, MArch1 students went to Lyme Regis for their integrated project site. They were asked to make an urban and building/landscape design proposition that dealt with the conditions of a burgeoning historic coastal town and the special tourism that it brings. MArch2 students used Faliron as the location for their thesis design project. They proposed a collective strategy for linking the disparate elements of the site and then developing their own project as part of the strategy. Between these projects we embarked on a number of exercises and visits aimed at practicing our representational skills, invoking our imagination and improving our knowledge of landscape and architecture and understanding of place-making. We hope you enjoy this brief glimpse of our work. Nick Timms Kate Baker Paula Craft-Pegg

MASTER OF ARCHITECTURE (MArch) Studio 3: In-Between Spaces: Architecture + Urbanism The Studio brings together its three tutors’ wide-ranging skills in and approaches to the design of the urban terrain. Guiding these skills towards the needs of Masters-level architectural study are a set of fundamental starting points: • • • •
That, irrespective of physical and geographical circumstances, we live and operate in a cultural condition that is essentially urban in nature. That, as technologies continue to determine and shape this condition, the distinction between that which we recognise as physically urban, suburban or rural becomes increasingly blurred. That, whatever we take as formal representation of the urban landscape, more than half of the expanding global population now lives in cities. That buildings and cities are the world’s major producers of C02, ergo contributors to global warming and climate change, and…
We are therefore obliged to consider strategies for positive planning, the creation of resilient cities and healthy places, and the potential contribution of green infrastructures
MArch1 – Studio 3 – Lewis Dolden – Bargates Housing Proposal – Urban Axis Plan
The studio sets against these positions, programmes that respond to European, national and local urban circumstances – the historic and modern European city – and current issues – infrastructure, conflicting pressures upon the landscape, and housing. In so doing it has frequently engaged stakeholders including local planning authorities, developers and housing associations. This year the studio has explored the nature and potential of ‘in-between’ spaces within the urban landscape hitherto deprived of any formal recognition or definition through the very process of assigning cultural meaning to those adjacent urban settlements. Our location has been the town and surrounding environs of Christchurch, a town, which despite having become largely absorbed within the coastal development of Bournemouth, represents a very different kind of settlement to that of the 19th and 20th century seaside resort. Two iconic medieval structures maintain its quality of a small market town. Its two converging rivers provide clear edges between core and outlying suburbs. The studio devised a series of ‘Notional Strips’ laid over 2-3 chosen tracts of settlement that included various urban and suburban spatial conditions, which students endeavoured to interpret and depict in ways that could aid and disseminate observations. Students developed broad urban strategies for the wider Christchurch area as well as for a specific block – Bargates – on the edge of the historic centre.
MArch2 – Studio 3 - Groupwork – Christchurch Masterplan 82
MArch2’s wider study has led to a series of architectural, urban and landscape interventions that have responded directly to edge or in-between conditions, such as the former gas-works area of the town centre as well as the strategic-gap between the outer town and the village of Burton. MArch1’s studies have developed into a series of individual but
MASTER OF ARCHITECTURE (MArch) interconnected housing proposals that seek to re-join the 19th century station area with the historic heart of the town. The Studio’s studies this year were also informed by a visit to Stockholm and the new Hammarby Sjoerstad district. Dan Blott, Dr Fabiano Lemes, Dr Silvio Caputo

MASTER OF ARCHITECTURE (MArch) Studio 4: Emergent Studio: Spatial Archaeology What is Architecture Of, On and Around the Edge? Drawn from the writings of Fritjof Capra, the term ‘Emergent’ is indicative of a studio spirit that is responsive to opportunities as they arise, flexible, dynamic and outward facing. Our theoretical platform lies within the realm of phenomenology; the study of architecture from an experiential position. In testing this position we have consistently worked in cultures that are not our own. Our pattern has been to work first in the Nordic World, immersing ourselves in the theories and praxis of architecture in that unique context, subsequently moving South to Morocco, developing design projects within this very particular, physical, climatic and cultural context. In parallel with this exploration arose a new opportunity to collaborate with University of Ljubljana, Slovenia, opening the exciting possibility of extending our engagement into the Balkans. As a consequence, in academic year 2014-15 in conjunction with the Ljubljana Architecture School, we shifted our axis to Sarajevo in Bosnia + Herzegovina; a rich cultural context that sits as a threshold between East and West, sadly accentuated in recent history by the bloody conflicts of the 1990’s which left deep and complex scars. Yet, amongst such a heritage lies a powerful sense of resistance, reconstruction, hope and reconciliation. In that academic year we began operating a ‘vertical’ studio structure; our first and second year students working in the same location to the same theme. In Sarajevo this was to design a ‘Place of Reconciliation.’ Swinging back to the Nordic World for the current academic year, we focussed on Aalborg in northern Denmark. Continuing the ‘vertical studio’ model, which has proved especially effective for the students this year, our students, in groups of mixed years, first entered two Scandinavian architectural competitions to introduce, and immerse themselves in, the incredibly rich and humane architectural and design theories and practice that have emanated across the world from this part of northern Europe. Once travelling, students grasped the opportunity and explored independently throughout Scandinavia before, and after, meeting up with studio staff in Aalborg. A water-side city with many historic similarities to Portsmouth, Aalborg has its own strong, gritty character, and students were able to learn, question and explore the differing results that can emerge from similar economic pressures being addressed through alternative social and political structures. They not only looked at individual design possibilities, but at the larger strategic picture of the potential development of Aalborg, in line, as in Sarajevo, with the ambitions of the local population. These ambitions, as elsewhere in Denmark, engage enthusiastically with a strong social and environmental agenda and our students were keen to work within this framework. March2 – Studio 4 – Matthew Luckhurst – Dissident Housing 86
MASTER OF ARCHITECTURE (MArch) An Urban Strategy developed by the MArch 1 students, defined strategic objectives, including new transport and infrastructure and revealed potential sites for individual responses. Within this, students in both years then produced individual strategic briefs defining typology, client, site, design response. From these initial proposals a diverse range of design propositions were developed for interventions within existing redundant industrial buildings to complete new-build proposals and including a new bridge across the fjord, a home for Alzheimer’s sufferers, a welcoming facility for refugees and a floating theatre alongside radical housing proposals, each drawing from this fertile context. Underpinning design was a consistent thread of engagement with what we might term phenomenological theory, drawing upon those within the humane Nordic modernist tradition such as Aalto, Utzon, Fehn and Pallasmaa. Ideas tested through various activities such as drawing, film, prototyping, modelling and making - research through doing. In addition, studio often begins with a ‘Mindfulness’ session encouraging each of us to connect with our core, to become fully aware of the environment that surrounds us, supporting the experiential ambitions of the studio.
MArch1 – Studio 4 – Kieron Stephens – Co-Living project – Gathering Space
Within a broader teaching and research project entitled ‘Architecture of the Edge-Architecture on the Edge’, collaborating with Universities both in and outside Europe, our plan for the next academic year is to return with the studio to the Balkans, this time to Ljubljana itself. A totally different context, but a city with a similarly powerful social and environmental agenda to Aalborg, having just won the 2016 European Green Capital of the Year Award. Working with local students, staff and practices, it will be fascinating to compare and contrast ideas, socio-political attitudes and design responses while learning powerful lessons for potential application closer to home.

MASTER OF ARCHITECTURE (MArch) Studio 5: Making, Understanding and Doing (MUD) Portsmouth: The Anatomy of “The Island City.” Studio 5 (MUD) is focused on learning through “making & doing”. Students are encouraged to engage with the design process and proposals concurrently with their analysis and reflections on the studio themes and specific issues relating to their design projects. The general themes of the studio relate to Portsmouth’s response to climate change induced rise in sea levels in conjunction with the development of all urban infrastructures and their potential for generating urban visions for the future of the city. We have, this year, called this study: “The Anatomy of Island City”
MArch2 – Studio 5 – Team Unite – Odd Triangle – Concept
The studio encourages students to engage with local stakeholders and to present their design work outside the university with a view in influencing the development of local urban and architectural visions. This year we have been pushing for more exciting resolved Architectural design projects. We have also been encouraging more variety in the design output with two architectural projects set in the context of group urban visions at MArch1 level and 4 design projects in preparation for the final Design Thesis: 1) Repairing Bipolar City: Introductory campus based design project with University master planners Architecture PLB 2) Field trip : Design Project on Site in Palma da Mallorca. 3) Design Thesis Showcase/Proposals 4) Making / Design Project developed on the basis the school wide “Odd Triangle” competition for small insertions in Portsmouth. In addition studio staff have been working on a Research Development Funded project: Coastal Cities Network (CCN) building an international network of coastal cities engaged with the development of flood resilient urban visions As well as promoting a hands on professional approach to design in studio, our aim is to integrate student work of Studio 5 (MUD) with all research projects undertaken by our practice and design orientated studio staff.

MASTER OF ARCHITECTURE (MArch) Studio 6: Tactical Urbanism: Radical Future Scenarios: Portsmouth University Campus 2050 “Cities have the capability of providing something for everybody, only because, and only when, they are created by everybody.” Jane Jacobs Cities are living organisms in constant evolution that have the immense power of determining the quality of life of their citizens. By 2050 more than 75% of world’s population will live in cities. It is within cities’ boundaries where the contradictions and conflicts of our society take place in a more vigorous way and it is exactly here where there is more potential for efficient solutions. Urban problems such as deprivation, poverty, migration, injustice, segregation represent the most critical issues that society has to face today. They are the most difficult challenges that disciplines such as architecture and urban design must address as a central topic of their agenda. “Tactical Urbanism” explores alternative ways of thinking, making and designing cities in a contemporary world, with a strong focus on how architectural and urban design can be tools to address social sustainability. We aim to investigate, understand and re-design the relations between the physical and social aspect of cities. Cities are made of people and people must be who we plan and transform cities for. Tactical Urbanism focus on the idea of people-centred design: what does it mean? How can architectural disciplines achieve it? What are the tools, techniques and processes that can put it in practice? Architecture is interpreted not just as a way to create new physical built environment, but architects are asked to design the “soft infrastructure” of social networks and people interactions that take place in urban public and private spaces. This M Arch Studio encourages students to engage with society and set up real participatory processes to develop their designs. This allows us to understand what the role of citizens in making cities is and how it can be made more central. Can local communities and co-creation have a key role in designing urban environments? Students are led to engage with a design process less focussed on a formal approach and more centred in the processes and the methods. Information gathered through local consultation processes, users and contextual analysis and socio-economic data and investigation will be our tools to generate responsive and innovative designs.

The studio also stimulates the exploration of the boundaries of architecture as a profession, what is the role of architecture in contemporary society and how we can be architects in an alternative and different way. Guido Robazza

FINAL EXAMINATION IN PROFESSIONAL PRACTICE (PART 3) “Nothing is as dangerous in architecture as dealing with separated problems. If we split life into separated problems we split the possibilities to make good building art.” – Alvar Aalto or “A great building must begin with the unmeasurable, must go through measurable means when it is being designed and in the end must be unmeasurable.” – Louis Kahn or “We are called to be architects of the future, not its victims.” – R. Buckminster Fuller or “To practice architecture calls for considerable skills; to practice architecture well means giving an important part of your mind; to practice architecture extremely well means giving your life. That sort of commitment is required in social architecture. These days it seems difficult enough to make a building at all. To realise architecture with some or all of its concomitant associations is to achieve a real bonus.“ – Sir Colin Stansfield Smith, The Public Sector Needs Centres of Design, 1985 Engagement with practice is one of the key strengths of the School of Architecture. We teach professional practice as an integrated design tool - enabling, supporting, and creating successful design projects through practice. Based in a diverse range of practices - from small local offices to large international teams - students this year worked on projects in the UK, Europe, and Dubai. Our course is now open to international students – with the benefit of widening the content and context of professional practice and experience in our workshops and study groups. Students taking the Final Examination (Part 3) course are bridging academia and practice, and are our touchstone to the future and constantly changing profession. For many students, the highlights of the course are our interactive Fee Bidding & Contract Workshops, using role play and scenarios to engage students directly in making decisions in project and practice management. With new lectures and workshops on BIM in Practice, Procurement, and Management, we are pushing our students to become engaged in the issues and debates which are shaping practice today. Emma Dalton

MA AND MSc DEGREES
These Master’s degrees are ideal for recent graduates who want to specialise, as well as for professionals in architecture, environment and planning who wish to re-direct their skills and specialise. Each specialist subject has approximately 5-10 students. The MA and MSc programmes give applicants a chance to specialise in a chosen subject. The programmes are designed to extend knowledge and in-depth skills in fields that students have studied more generally at an undergraduate or equivalent level, enabling them to build on their existing skills and to diversify. The current cohort of students have a wide range of backgrounds, including architecture, architectural technology, interior design, product design, landscape architecture, urban design and historic building conservation. The groups are culturally very diverse with students from China, Malaysia, Nigeria, India, Europe and from within the UK. Students have engaged with the wider environment of the school, participating in national and European competitions, attending PASS lectures and joining in on school trips to London, Vienna, Stonehenge and Stourhead Gardens. Students studying on the courses have the opportunity to engage with staff research in: Sustainable Urban and Architectural Design; Theory, History and Context; Embodied Landscapes and Technologies. The school has a wide set of connections locally, nationally and internationally, and staff teaching on the courses are all engaged with research of international significance.

MA Interior Design (MAID) The interior design course is diverse; it fosters creativity and thinking, allowing students to question the boundaries of their discipline and practice. This year’s group has engaged with the idea of the interior through working at Chawton House Library, an internationally respected research and learning centre for the study of early women’s writing from 1600 to 1830. This house and its landscape acted as the starting point for project ideas. The form of the book was used to develop proposals through material investigation. The studio has developed its content through engaging with the Landscape studio, and exploring the relationship between inside and out, and the thresholds between. The emphasis has been on material practice, the materiality of the book, it’s form and shape, and the journey that text takes across the landscape or over a page. We have worked with Chawton House and an abandoned secondary school on the Isle of Wight. Students have examined the context of these sites, and their development over time, to the spaces that they are today; they have used these investigations to develop research led design solutions. This process has shifted our attention from the object to go beyond the visual, to use the sensory and to make decisions about colour, light, temperature, smell, materials and their connections to surrounding spaces. The programme aims to critically examine the question, ‘What is interior design?’ and to engage with its many facets: interior decoration, interior design, interior architecture and sites of experience. Students have worked with community projects, libraries, cafes/exhibitions spaces, and the design of bus stops. They have also had the opportunity to enter into interdisciplinary competitions, work on a live project at Portsmouth City Museum, to engage with the Shakespeare Festival as part of ‘Noyes at Wymering Manor’ and to enter a competition to design a listening space at Winchester University.

MA AND MSc DEGREES
MA in Sustainable Architecture (MASA)
MA – Sustainable Architecture – Graham Anderson – Work Based Learning – Daylight Studies
MA Sustainable Architecture – Graham Anderson – Work Based Learning – Wind Studies
The MA in Sustainable Architecture encourages students to employ a range of advanced simulation modelling techniques for assessing the environmental performance of buildings and occupants’ sense of comfort both at the architectural level and the city scale. In addition to evaluating the visual and thermal performance of a notional scheme and as part of their theory unit, the students modelling skills have been further challenged this year by giving them the task of assessing the environmental performance of buildings within the City of Portsmouth. Through live projects students on the MASA course are building up an analytical and evaluation database of a range of notable sustainable developments ie: Vauban Frieburg, Hammarby Sjostad, Eco Viikki, Helsinki etc. Last year they drew upon this database to appraise one of the largest sustainable developments in the UK, Graylingwell Park in Chichester. And they used best practice examples such as the 10 principles from ‘One Planet living’ to evaluate and measure the success and appropriateness of such developments. This year again by drawing upon this growing database they are working with Portsmouth City Council to establish sustainable urban strategies for the regeneration of the city centre, using Victoria Park as the heart of this sustainable urban regeneration. In addition, the integration of simulation technology within the MASA programme makes it distinct. Along with IES for daylighting and thermal simulation the students use Townscope a computer system devoted to support solar access decision making in a sustainable urban perspective, using three dimensional urban information system coupled with solar evaluation tools.

MSc Historic Building Conservation (HBC)
MSc HBC – Handmaking Bricks at Bursledon Brickworks
The MSc in Historic Building Conservation encourages students to evaluate various theoretical debates and creative and technical approaches which underpin conservation practice. This year the students worked alongside MArch students to investigate cultural and historical narratives within an urban strip of London. Through a process of research and analysis they developed conservation statements including assessments of heritage significance for a diverse range of buildings, including a pub, a historic house and a gas holder. Their work uncovered the multiple meanings and values of these sites, and highlighted the particular vulnerabilities of historic buildings within an urban context under pressure for new development. Our ongoing involvement with the community preservation project at 16th-century Grade II* listed Wymering Manor included a survey of the interior of the earliest chimney stacks using an endoscopic camera to investigate any hidden voids that might have been used as ‘priest holes’. The acoustic history of the house is also currently being explored in collaboration with Sound and Music Technology students. Our students have the opportunity to get involved in staff research projects. This year they visited the National Trust’s property at Mottisfont near Romsey where we are setting up research into techniques for 3D modelling of the trompe l’oeil interior of the 1930s Whistler Room. We are also investigating the lighting conditions and perceptions of the illusionary qualities of this important historic interior. There will be further opportunities for student participation in this work as the project develops.
MSc HBC – Wymering Manor Endoscopic Chimney Survey
MSc HBC – Great Conservatory Syon Park
Understanding the material and crafted qualities of traditional historic buildings is an important element of the course. This was explored through practical sessions which included lime plastering at the Winchester Lime Centre and hand-making bricks at Bursledon Brickworks. The students benefited from site visits to a number of live conservation projects. At Portsmouth Cathedral the students were taken on a scaffold tour with cathedral architect Simon Ablett of Ablett Architects, where works to the early 18th-century tower revealed some unanticipated problems for the contractors. At Syon Park in west London students viewed repairs to the Grade I listed Great Conservatory with David Johnson of Dannatt Johnson Architects, and toured the stunning 18th-century Robert Adam interiors of the Grade I listed house.

POSTGRADUATE RESEARCH DEGREES The School currently has four Postgraduate Research Degrees students (PGRDS) whose topics of study align directly with the School’s priority areas. Mahmood Abdulkareem is completing his PhD on thermal and visual comfort of residential building in Nigeria and Majid Pasha on a generative model for new housing based on the cultural traditions and sustainability of villages in rice fields in the north of Iran. Line Nørskov Eriksen’s research explores the design methodology of the Danish Architect Jørn Utzon. Nick Ardill’s research focuses on the impact of social innovation activities in the definition of urban design and planning frameworks in the south of England. Our Research Degrees students’ working space is included within staff offices, with access to a range of software and computer facilities Dr Fabiano Lemes
Line Nørskov Eriksen was the exhibition architect and curator for the “Travel Thinking Making - Utzon’s Footsteps” exhibition at the Utzon Centre, Aalborg, Denmark. The exhibition is based upon her doctorate research, exploring travel and studies of foreign cultures as a formative, informative process in architecture through Utzon’s life and work as an architect. The exhibition displays original drawings, models, letters, artifacts, sketchbooks and never before published film recordings by Utzon from his travel studies in places as diverse as USA and Mexico (1949), India (1957), Nepal (1957) and China (1957).

A PLETHORA OF ACTIVITIES AND EVENTS Every year the school hosts various events that offer great opportunities for the students to engage with extra curriculum activities. These Events and activities in combination with the PASS events create a rich cultural environment that broadens students’ horizons.
Visiting Lecturers This year the School hosted Visiting Lecturers, who gave some inspiring presentations, offering the students opportunities to expand their perception of the profession, the creative process and the architecture world. Peter Barber of Peter Barber Architects presented the practice’s varied portfolio of radical solutions and innovative projects. Jeffrey Turko – founder of NEKTON design and Research Director in the OCEAN Design and Research Association talked about his practice and recent book Ground and Envelopes: Reshaping Architecture and the Built Environment. Gem Barton – presented her work on different ways of making opportunities, and putting one’s creativity on the spot, through her own work and her book “Don’t Get a Job Make a Job”.
Employers’ Evening The School holds an annual Employers evening that is open to students across the School providing the opportunities to network with potential employers. Students interested in work experience have the chance to meet practices of different calibre. This year 16 practices presented their work and then an informal discussion took place over drinks and nibbles. We would like to thank the following practices for the contribution to the Employers’ Evening and Mock Interviews: Portsmouth City Council Hunters South Architects Bizzy Blue Design Brightspace Architects Prov-Vision Planning and Design Re-Format PDP Architecture LLP The Seaman Partnership Ltd Ayre, Chamberlain and Gaunt T2 Architects Hampshire County Council HNW Architects Hays Noel Wright Architects

A PLETHORA OF ACTIVITIES AND EVENTS BIID Student Design Challenge 2015 This year, 6 Interior Architecture and Design students participated in the BIID Student Design Challenge: ‘The challenge was a one-day, CAD-free design competition hosted at Campus London, Google’s vibrant and dynamic co-working space for start-ups and entrepreneurs. The design brief was given on the day and we had just 7 hours to develop a design proposal, before presenting our designs to a judging panel of renowned industry figures, led by BIID President Daniel Hopwood. Initially, we broke the brief down into parts and by prototyping we were able to create playful abstract and organic forms. Each time we developed a form, we tested the aesthetic and functional requirements, ensuring we were responding in an analytical way to the site and the brief. These are key skills we have learnt on our course and by applying these we were able to create an innovation design with substance that the judging panel loved!: ‘Your team were very hard working, engaged, and brought with them a really positive attitude and drive to do well. It was a pleasure to host them at Campus London and we’d love to see Portsmouth represented again next year.’ Rex Liddiard, Marketing and events executive. First, second and third place were awarded to the designs that met the brief in the most creative and original way and with a combination of fantastic team work and hard work, we were placed third out of 10 universities.’ Student participants: Brogan Turner (text) Ellie Cacciatore, Thu Ngan Truong - Jenny, Alex Hodson, Zara Mahmood, Ash Holmes

A PLETHORA OF ACTIVITIES AND EVENTS The Odd Triangle. A ‘design to build’ competition. The architecture students of Portsmouth are called to propose, in collaboration with the local community, ideas for a temporary pavilion in an underused public space in central Portsmouth. The project aims to improve the quality of the public space and to bring together architectural students and local communities and will attempt to measure the impact of co-creational practices on the quality of urban life and the public realm. In cities, there is an abundance of unused spaces. Empowering local communities to take ownership of such spaces and decide on their use can at the same time raise awareness on alternative potential ways to use the public realm, create links between diverse urban actors, and regain individuals and groups to civic participation. Architectural students will lead the design process and offer their technical expertise in the creation of this new urban place and will also be interviewed as one of the communities involved in the process. The place to be created will aim to be a playful and inclusive space, a space for socialising and open to welcome different people and allow for their interaction. This public space will ideally became a place with a recognizable character and have a positive social impact in the life of students and local communities. Students and community will together define the use as part of the design process. The winning proposal will be built at the end of May and will be completed to be part of the CCI End of Year Show celebrations. Guido Robazza

A PLETHORA OF ACTIVITIES AND EVENTS Design Academy Five of our students from BA2 Interior Architecture and Design took part in the Design Academy, an interdisciplinary design challenge to develop ways of approaching real world issues organised by the Design Council. This gave our students the opportunity to present their ideas to a panel of industry experts and receive feedback on their proposals. These ranged from helping older people to live independently to encouraging random acts of altruism - all concerned with very real issues in our society around the brief of Design for Care. The judges’ comments were very positive and praised all of the students for their engagement with the projects and particularly their professional presentations. Design Academy Workshop – CCI – Year 2 Interior Architecture Students
The Design Academy has been a great experience for our students and has allowed them all to engage with working in an interdisciplinary design team and realise the power of design thinking. “The Design Academy Programme has helped me to reconsider my design thinking and design thought process. Thinking about the problem first rather than designing straight away was new but very enjoyable and helps to get better solutions.” – Rosie BA2 IAD

“An eye opening program that allowed me to realize that there are things we could do other than just designing. It provided us with the knowledge and chance to take a step back and properly analyse a problem. With the addition of being able to work in multi-disciplinary groups, it gave us a chance to experience a professional environment of working with people with different skills and methods in order to proceed in a project.” – Lisa BA2 IAD
A PLETHORA OF ACTIVITIES AND EVENTS I Don’t Roll Workshop I Don’t Roll is a reciprocal parametric structure of 3 metres diameter and made out of 400 metres of western red cedar timber. The timber comes from a single tree sourced from the Whitelands Wood Project. This tree was chosen because it was affecting the particular habitat of a specific butterfly. Two draft horses took it down and brought it to the sawing area. I Don’t Roll is reciprocal because every piece of timber lies on the next one, which makes the structure self-supporting. It is parametric because the geometrical form is determined by a set of parameters such as number of tiers, rotation angle, and thickness of timber sec tion. Changing one parameter means the whole structure will change accordingly. I Don’t Roll is inspired by the second place winner of the workshop ‘Structure in the woods’. The design has been developed by Guido Robazza in collaboration with woodman Jonathan West, Nicola Crowson and Phevos Kallitsis at the Portsmouth School of Architecture. Guido Robazza

A PLETHORA OF ACTIVITIES AND EVENTS The Secret Garden Design “The Secret Garden” is a project promoted by the School of Architecture at the University of Portsmouth and the City Council of Campi Salentina in Italy. The pavilion, whose function is to house temporary exhibitions, has been designed by architecture students under the direction of Guido Robazza. The initiative is part of a research project investigating the power of temporary use of public space as a tool for urban regeneration. The structure has been built between 8th and 10th February and will remain in the main square of Campi Salentina for one year. This urban pavilion project is a component of the participatory process CHECENTRO established by the Urban Plan for the Regeneration of the Historical Center of the City of Campi Salentina and has been locally coordinated by Marco Patruno (MAD - Meeting Architecture and Design). A special thanks goes to Paolo Robazza (BAG – Beyond Architecture Group) for the tech nical support and the planning of the workshop; Phevos Kallitsis for the design advices; Nikos Nanos and David Begg for the structural consultancy; Silvio Caputo, Roberto Bra glia, Steve Read, Plamena Gamzova and Remo Fabrizi for the valuable support. The design of this project is based on the brilliant ideas of our amazing students: Mar iana Luiza Lopes Barros; Matthew Ian James Campbell; Lucy Anne Clark; Isabel Emma Clay; Naomi Cripps; Gabriela de Nadai; Bryony Faulkner; Anna Georgiou; Aleksandra Gut kowska; Mollie Hayter; Aimee Higgs; Charlotte Holt; Peykovski Kalin; Benjamin Cheng Jie Khor; Francesca Lawes; Fenoula Titania Lee; Whitfield Matthew; Omotola Oluwaseun Olu koya; Lisa Pang; Audrone Rutkauskaite; Ciprian Selegean; Devyani Vijayakumar; Stephanie Louise Wyant.

A PLETHORA OF ACTIVITIES AND EVENTS Field Trips Five International destinations were offered to undergraduate students in February 2015: Berlin, Apulia, Vienna, Milan and New York. Also a local option working with the Project Office on a live project on the Isle of Wight. Students enjoyed a late winter experience in Italy, Germany, Austria and USA, taking in historic and contemporary examples of architecture and interiors relevant to ongoing studio design projects. Students are introduced into the global world of Architecture and Interior Design, by walking among precedents that may initiate new ideas, have an actual experience of buildings they see in magazines, sites or study in History and Theory. Students had to do some research on buildings or architects in advance, or like in the case of the Apulia trip they participated in the Secret Garden Workshop. Field trips are an excellent opportunity for students to expand their knowledge and their professional experience, but above all to get to know each other and bond, while exploring the world.

PASS REVIEW
The Portsmouth Architecture School Society (PASS) is a student - led society which provides a forum for inspiration, discussion and debate as well as a platform which encourages networking between students and visiting practitioners This year has continued the strong engagement with practitioners from a variety of regional and national practices discussing their work and methods. There was some excellent examples of the width and breadth of practice ranging from large commercial projects demonstrated by practices such as Chapman Taylor and Grimshaw Architects to more radical approaches such as Duncan Baker Brown’s Waste House Project in Brighton. The list of practitioners is as follows: ACG Architects Arquinaut Dow Jones Architects Duncan Baker-Brown Grimshaw Architects Make Architects Nick Thompson PAD Studio Ruffnassetti Architects Ström Architects Scurr Architects Skene Catling de la pena Walter Menteth Architects The meetings also provide a platform for staff to promote their work and Greg Bailey, Paula Craft-Pegg and Francis Graves gave some insights into their work and methods. The success of the society is based on the participation of all students but especially the hard work of the committee which this year covers a wide range of students from both Architecture and Interior Architecture. President : Eric Pettersson Vice-President: Lidia Gherghe Publications Officer: Craig Baxendale Publications Officer: Dimitrios Karamoutas Social Events Officer: Lucy Clark Treasurer: George Pop We would also like to thank Professor Steffen Lehman for his help in using his extensive industry network to secure some high profile presenters.

INTERNATIONAL PROGRAMMES International Programme: MArch Architecture and Urbanism (Greece)
International MArch – Veraj Juela
International MArch – Group A – Masterplan Faliro Bay
The MArch Architecture and Urbanism is offered at AMC Greece, as a franchise programme with the collaboration of Portsmouth School of Architecture. The programme of studies aims at equipping participants with the professional and creative skills for a successful career as an architect, therefore structured to ensure the integration and synthesis of contextual, technical and professional complexities inherent within the design process. Through a range of architectural briefs, the first year of studies aims at developing a design process related to various scales of design, from the city, to the urban block and the building scale. The second year requires the completion of the diploma thesis, which involves both the developing of the theoretical as well as the design context that responds to specific questions with a complete design portfolio. More specifically, the studio design projects look at the context of the city as not just a location for architecture but as a challenge and opportunity to utilise the layers of history, the landscape, population, ecology and social networks as the motivators for the production of new architectural space. By focusing on how cities are changing at global and local levels, by investigating how new forms of urban design can promote social justice and equity, by exploring the links between city form and sustainability and by understanding the cohesive potential of public spaces, students will seek to investigate how the above can converge with or inform, new physical architectural space. This year’s site is a large expanse of empty waterfront space located 4.5 km south of the centre of Athens, on the edge of Faliro bay, between the outfalls of the two historic rivers of Athens. It is an area of approximately 62 acres, which has recently received a lot of attention due to the location and construction of the Stavros Niarchos Foundation Cultural Center, designed by a team of architects led by Renzo Piano. It particularly, it seeks to transform existing understandings of cities and traditional concerns such as housing, public and community buildings, public space and infrastructure and how these are transformed into integrated design solutions by investigating themes such as: -the private and the public -the existing and the new -the metropolitan and the local -the dialogue and connection between the land the sea -the challenge of designing in the “edges” of a city -the values of the waterfront The above provided a great opportunity to research, analyse and create urban design proposals in the form of group Urban Strategy and Group Masterplans, leading to the individual’s own interpretation of the site’s qualities, challenges and opportunities, in a quest to restore the lost connection of the city with the sea.

PROJECT OFFICE
The Project Office is an architectural practice embedded within the Portsmouth School of Architecture. Originally established in November 2008, since inception the practice has grown from strength to strength working with students and staff from across the University of Portsmouth campus along with external organisations. In the past eight years, the Project Office has completed a large number of projects with regional charities, the Diocese of Portsmouth, Local Authorities within Hampshire, private clients, private organisations and the University of Portsmouth Estates Department. These projects vary in scope and detail from fast paced intensive student-led design workshops (termed ‘Design Charrettes’ within the Project Office) to consultancy projects focusing on detailed design and feasibility studies, production information packages, site inspection and supervision services. Underpinning all of these activities and projects is a strong connection to the core curriculum, academic, knowledge transfer and research activities. The 2015/ 2016 academic year has seen the Project Office undertake even more student-led design charrettes and workshops for ‘Live’ projects working with ‘Real’ clients which involve undergraduate and postgraduate students from the School of Architecture and Interior Design.
Project Office Projects 2015-16: 1. Science Without Borders and Diocese of Portsmouth Churches Summer Interns Project with Science Without Borders Brazilian Exchange Students, Summer Vacation 2015 The Diocese of Portsmouth operates 142 parishes of Anglican faith around the Hampshire Coast and Isle of Wight. During 2009/10, within a developing strategy for improving their churches and associated buildings, the Project Office were invited to look at 6 areas of specific community need; churches in Portsmouth, Gosport, Leigh Park, Havant and Fareham and a community drop-in centre in Portsmouth. Each of the projects had a specific brief of improving the facilities for community welfare through enhancement of the built environment that challenged any previous conceptions of the Client, Church Staff and congregation. Following a hiatus of nearly 5 years, the Project Office was given the opportunity of connecting with 3 new Clients from the Diocese of Portsmouth. In 2015 the Summer Interns Programme was led and coordinated by over 30 Brazilian undergraduate students from the ‘Science Without Borders’ initiative who had been studying Architecture, Interior Architecture and Design and Graphic Design at the University of Portsmouth during the 2014_2015 academic year. Each project started with a site visit, introduction to the Client and their needs and an outline ‘gut’ reaction as an immediate design response. Then, over the proceeding 2 weeks, a scheme was developed, finalised and presented to the Client. 119
PROJECT OFFICE
Project Office Clients have, in the majority of cases, worked with a cohort of students who hail from the UK and EU. This project dramatically changed that dynamic. Several questions arose during the duration of this project: What approach would the Brazilian students take to these projects? Would it vastly differ from other UK and EU student cohorts? Could the projects be run concurrently using 2 languages (English and Portuguese)? Would the Brazilian students be familiar with the unique context of the Church of England when compared to their own understanding of ‘Church’ and ‘Community’? The outcomes were both surprising and inspiring.
2. Bastion 6, Hilsea, Portsmouth Core Curriculum Project with Final Year BA3 Interior Architecture and Design Students, Teaching Block 1 2015
BA3 IAD – Shruti Dudhaiya – Bastion 6 Project
120
The existing WW1 Remembrance Centre is currently housed at Fort Widley, Portsdown Hill Road. Set up to display artefacts, reproduction exhibits and memorabilia from World War One, complete with walk through trench system. However, as a Grade 1 listed building, there is limited access via a steep staircase. In order to grow the exhibition to a National collection, the Museum plans to move to a new location at Bastion 6, part of the Hillsea Lines. Completed in 1871 as part the Palmerston Fortification Strategy, Bastion 6 is a Scheduled Monument protected by the Ancient Monuments and Archaeological Areas Act 1979. The red brick casement, with bombproof vaulted ceilings, was “designed to provide gun emplacements which afforded protection to the guns and their crews. The gun positions were arranged along the front of the casemate in a long room known as the gun gallery. Behind the gun positions were rooms, separated by curved corrugated iron blast shields, each of which provided living accommodation for five men. The guns in the casemates provided cross-fire to prevent the enemy crossing Ports Creek and to provide low profile fire along the front of the lines. A typical layout consisted of 2 gun galleries, various armaments stores, 9 accommodation rooms, a cook house and a wash room.” (Extract from Hillsea Lines leaflet) Bastion 6 will be renovated to house the WW1 Remembrance Museum collection, and the move will also facilitate the upgrade of the collection to a National Museum status. Currently the building is in an uninhabitable state, but under continuous renovations to bring the building back to a habitable state. With voluntary contributions from the Armed Forces, Skills Force and other interested parties, tasks such as stripping lead paint from the vaulted ceilings, and woodwork repairs to the fenestration, have already begun. English Heritage and the local council are in full support of the venture. However, it is anticipated that the move will be slow, relying primarily on work carried out on a voluntary basis. The clients are now in need of skilled volunteers to help deliver the project, and keen to involve students of the Faculty of Creative and Cultural Industries in some way; whether this is by helping to produce design proposals, physical labour etc. In order to assist the Clients for this project over 30 Undergraduate Final Year BA3 Interior
PROJECT OFFICE
Architecture and Design students worked closely with Stakeholders for a 12 week period to progress the project further. All of the students involved with this project designed a ‘Museum’ for the Clients to provide ideas relating to the display of their unique collection of World War 1 artefacts in a welcoming and technologically cutting-edge environment.
3. City Life Church, Tangier Road, Portsmouth Design Charrette Event as part of ‘Portsmouth Live Project Week’, October 2015 As part of this year’s Autumn Research Week the Project Office was asked to co-ordinate an intensive design event forming the ‘Live Project’ of the week working with the City Life Church (CLC) located in Portsmouth. The Client for this project, Pastor Dan Harmon provided the following information about the history of CLC, “In 1640 a small group of believers started meeting together in a cottage. The cottage was in Old Portsmouth, and they met to pray, fellowship and share in God’s word. This is how Our Story began. Little did they know that this tiny seed that was planted would eventually grow into a mighty oak that would bring about tremendous transformation in so many lives. Over 375 years on, the church continues to stand tall and impact the city of Portsmouth and nations around the globe. This rich heritage is a powerful foundation that has given us an influential and credible voice both locally and nationally.” The aim of this 4-day ‘Live’ project was to look at the development and extension of City Life Church in Portsmouth and meet its growing demand for space and need for modernisation. A group of around 40 BA1 Architecture and Interior Architecture and Design students faced the challenge of working on a ‘Live’ project with a ‘Real’ client for first time. Students were divided into smaller groups and each group was assigned a theme that they had to explore and develop. The themes included ‘Bridge of Hope’ where the focus was on a glass wrap around seeking a more ‘transparent’ and ‘modern’ look; a side extension with children’s soft play area; Developing the current foyer, stairwell and main auditorium so that they appear more contemporary and welcoming; Working on a storage solution with future expansions in mind. The initial stage of the project was a close collaboration between students and the Client that included a site visit and short group ‘Question and Answer’ sessions interrogating existing ‘Problems’ and possible ‘Solutions’ regarding the building and the surrounding site. Following this, students worked in their groups towards a presentation, aspirational collage and white card models, in order to illustrate their design proposals. On the final day each group presented formally in front of the Client and stakeholders, which was followed by a fruitful discussion.

122
Each year, since 2010, the practice has run a week-long project for students across the School of Architecture called the ‘Project Office Field Trip’. This year, the Project Office embarked on a new and exciting project focusing on the creation of inspiring and creative ideas to revitalise the existing Waterside Pool on the Isle of Wight that is currently operated by the Waterside Community Trust (WCT). WCT envisage a transformation of the present stand-alone pool into a broader based leisure centre with emphasis on health and wellbeing activities. An important aspect of the project is to ensure that Waterside Pool is sustainable and is able to meet the on-going needs of the community. 30 students from undergraduate and postgraduate architecture courses, including Year Out and Erasmus Exchange students, took part in this project that created an interesting dynamic and gave impressive results. Students worked in small groups and each group was set a specific topic – Developing a Learner Pool, Designing Café & Restaurant connected to the Pool, Developing dry side facilities and additional changing facilities. The groups had 4 days during which they had to visit the site, prepare aspiration collages expressing their visions for the Waterside Pool, make 3D models, sketches and drawings to illustrate their ideas. On the final day, students had to present their work to the client that was followed by an intensive project feedback critique session.
RESEARCH
The University of Portsmouth has recently launched its new Research Strategy 2016-2020, which outlines the 5 priority research themes of: Sustainability and the environment Health and wellbeing Democratic citizenship Future and emerging technologies Security and risk The new Cluster for Sustainable Cities is a cross-faculty initiative between the Faculty of Creative and Cultural Industries (CCi) and the Faculty of Technology aligned with this University-wide strategy. A large number of staff from the Portsmouth School of Architecture are involved in the Cluster and its research programme. The Cluster provides a common platform and is an active hub for PhD studies that promotes the creation of sustainable cities through research, training and advocacy. Our vision is that this research cluster will be a step towards a centre of excellence in research on urbanisation at the global scale enshrining the principles of sustainability and producing high quality, relevant and actionable advice to policy makers, public institutions, urban engineers, developers, decision makers, architects, planners and scholars regarding the design, planning and management of cities. We aim to make the Faculty of CCi the partner of choice for research in the field of sustainable cities. The intention of the Portsmouth School of Architecture is to be a recognized centre for research excellence on key issues facing society, with a clear and strong focus on sustainable architectural and urban design and the relationships between academic research, government, industry and communities. The School is committed to the development of cross-disciplinary, original, relevant, methodologically rigorous and effectively disseminated research of high international standard, focused on our key distinctive strengths. The School aims to strengthen its work on collaborative research with regional impact and global reach. Within the School, four priority areas were identified: Sustainable Urban and Architectural Design, Low Carbon Initiatives and Materials; Design and Practice; Theory, history and context; and New media, representation and the experience of space. Projects in priority area one include, green wedges in urbanism, environmental design, urban morphology and heat-energy demand, energy efficiency and behavior change, urban resilience, daylight modeling in buildings and urban spaces, visual and thermal performance of buildings, and sustainable development of historic sites. The research undertaken in the group is directly linked to the MA in Urban Design, MA Sustainable Architecture and current PhD projects.
123
RESEARCH
The second area is focused on the relationship between academic research, knowledge transfer, teaching and local communities, this priority area aims to develop design frameworks, methodologies and theories. The Project Office is a key contributor. The construction of new historiographical discourses in architecture and urbanism, the values of social and cultural contexts and the elaboration of theoretical frameworks that inform design-based research are some of the lines of research of priority area three. Research in this area includes projects in transcultural design interchanges, paradigmatic frameworks and the activities of the Jørn Utzon Research Network. Priority area four focuses on how digital media, new interfaces and tools inform architectural, interior and urban design practices. Some interdisciplinary projects of this area explore the cross-over of architecture and neuroscience, as well as the relationship between body and space, considered through the frames of embodied practices, tacit knowledge and drawing and making. We also promote research on pedagogy and educational issues across the different priority areas. Professor Steffen Lehmann Dr Fabiano Lemes

RECENT RESEARCH, PROJECTS AND COLLABORATIONS Walter Menneth is awarded 2015 RIBA President’s Medal for Research Walter Menneth, Architect and Senior Lecturer, has been awarded the inaugural Royal Institute of British Architects (RIBA) 2015 Presidents Medal for Research and the 2015 President’s Award for Practice-located Research, for his work contributing to Construction Procurement Reform leading to adoption and embedding of EU Directive 2014/24/EU. As RIBA describes: “The research sets out to address why procurement processes, ostensibly set up to offer a fair, proportionate and open market, were having negative and unsustainable impacts on design talent accessing work; constraining opportunity, creating market skews and incurring excessive time and cost. Demonstrating tenacity and commitment, Menteth’s submission included books, articles, reports and conference papers showing a comprehensive investigation into the area of procurement reform of increasingly urgent relevance to the profession.” More recent work and publications can be viewed on the Project Compass website http://www.projectcompass.co.uk/index.php?page=aboutus&sub=publications
Custom Build and Urban Design PI: Dr Fabiano Lemes de Oliveira Collaborators: Dan Blott, Dr Silvio Caputo, Andrea Smith (Radian), Rebecca Cooper (Research Assistant). The aim of this project was to investigate how the definition of frameworks for the design and delivery custom build housing can be interrelated with urban design codes in order to achieve recognised qualities of place and organisational coherence. The work was a partnership between Portsmouth School of Architecture and Radian Housing. The key research questions were: What are the benefits and drawbacks of promoting custom build in the UK context? How to ensure that on promoting custom build the resultant development is more than a collection of adhoc building projects with no regard for each other or for the quality of the spaces created by the collective whole? What are the combined roles of architectural and urban design codes in ensuring both cohesiveness and diversity? What is the economic return to the different stakeholders involved in the custom build process (i.e. government, developers and home owners)? The project sought to help fill a gap in academia and construction industry regarding the relationships between custom build, place-making and urban design coherence. The government intends that 200,000 homes be built per year. As a mechanism to help achieve this target, the government is promoting custom build as a means of increasing the supply of new homes by enabling individuals to acquire plots of land and procure their own home. 125
RECENT RESEARCH, PROJECTS AND COLLABORATIONS Whilst elsewhere in Europe, custom build is relatively commonplace, to date in the UK, it accounts for less than 10% of overall new housing supply. One of the challenges for a potential enabler/ investor is how to ensure that the resultant development is more than a collection of adhoc building projects with no regard for each other, for the quality of the spaces created and for the collective whole. Research in the relationship between custom build and urban design codes is incipient. Although there has been some advancement in these fields as isolated topics, there is a need for a better understanding of the articulation between them for the creation of more cohesive proposals at neighbourhood and city scales.
Mottisfont Project Dr Karen Fielder and Dr Sura Al-Maiyah of the School of Architecture and Mr Martin Schaefer of the Department of Geography are collaborating with the National Trust on an environmental and digital modelling research project at the historic Grade I listed Mottisfont Abbey House near Romsey. One of the treasures of Mottisfont is the ‘Whistler Room’, an important trompe l’œil interior painted by the celebrated artist Rex Whistler in 19389. As part of their Disaster Management Plan, the Trust wish to have a detailed 3D digital model of the interior that would allow them to recreate the room should it be harmed through a disaster such as fire or flood. In addition, the sensitive painted surfaces of the interior are vulnerable to the harmful effects of light and UV radiation and are therefore only displayed in low level artificial light which gives a yellow cast to the paintings. In daylight, however, the appearance of the room is transformed, allowing the full beauty and skilled execution of the artwork to be appreciated. Our research will test a range of modelling methods to see how best to capture the illusionary qualities of the artwork in the way that it mimics 3D structure on a flat painted surface, whilst accurately recording the real 3D form of the room. We are also investigating the seasonal daylight performance of the room through a process of modelling and monitoring to see if it is possible to use low intensity daylight during the winter months to display the interior in authentic natural conditions, without compromising on conservation requirements. Understanding the role of lighting is particularly important to visitor perceptions and appreciation of this historic interior. This research will therefore support the Trust in their endeavours to protect this important piece of architectural heritage, and also potentially enhance the visitor experience. Dr Karen Fielder

RECENT RESEARCH, PROJECTS AND COLLABORATIONS Green Wedge Urbanism The project aimed to uncover the yet untold history of green wedges in urbanism and investigate how green wedges can offer an alternative model of integrating urban development and nature for existing and new towns, cities and regions. There was a need to develop a history of the green wedge model of green space planning as there was no overarching discourse about its development, nor about its roles and functions in contemporary planning despite the fact that this model has been used consistently since the beginning of the 20th century to date. Furthermore, how green wedges can have a positive impact in air quality, access to green spaces, the promotion of active recreation, increasing ecological habitats, in mitigating the effects of climate change and in promoting sustainable cities needed to be better understood. The project involved archival research for identification and analysis of primary sources from key projects, a literature review about the uses of green wedges in city planning in order to bring together currently fragmented knowledge about this model of green space planning, interviews with key governmental personnel and practitioners involved with the management of existing and planning of new green wedges in order to determine the current understanding of decision-makers about the model and to understand how they believe it can help address their city’s needs, analysis of case studies and field work for the identification of functions and roles of green wedges today. The preliminary project results have been disseminated in conference presentations, guest lectures and journal articles. A book entitled ‘Green Wedge Urbanism’ will be published by Bloomsbury early 2017. Dr Fabiano Lemes de Oliveira
COST Action – Urban Allotments in Europe (www.urban allotments.eu) This is a four-year EU-funded networking programme of researchers and NGOs from 27 European countries, exchanging knowledge and debating on the future of spaces where food is cultivated in cities. New Zealand and Israel also joined as external members. Four are the research perspectives under which urban agricultural practices have been researched: Planning, Sociology, Ecology and Urban Design. The programme has been so far hugely successful, being instrumental to a comparative understanding of the range of drivers that bring people and community groups to grow food across Europe and exposing the barriers impeding urban agriculture to spread at a higher extent. Silvio Caputo has been chairing the Urban Design work group and has developed research on a particular 127
RECENT RESEARCH, PROJECTS AND COLLABORATIONS strand: pop-up and temporary community gardens. One of the outputs of the networking programme is a book recently published by Routledge. A special issue of the peer-reviewed journal Landscape and Urban Design will be a further output. Dr Silvio Caputo
Co-creation of Temporary Interventions in Public Space as a Tool for Placemaking This research project aims to measures the impacts of co-creational practices on the quality of public urban life in contemporary cities. The project promotes and develops tactical small-sized co-created temporary interventions in public spaces bringing together architectural students and local communities. It builds on the assumption that, in cities, there is an abundance of under-used spaces. Empowering local communities to take ownership of such urban spaces, decide on their use and take action, can at the same time re-activate the public realm through a process of appropriation, define new forms of civic participation and regain individuals and groups to it, create synergies between diverse urban actors and raise awareness on and possibly establish new alternative ways for public realm planning. With the words of David Harvey, the “Right to the City” is “the freedom to make and remake our cities” and this is one of the “most precious of our human rights.” The project brings together the City Council, the University and local charities and collectives in Portsmouth and develops a long term strategy comprising several sites across the city mapped as opportunities by the citizens. It subsequently attempts to measure quantitatively and qualitatively the impact of co-created interventions in terms of engagement and empowerment of the communities, investigating the differences caused in their relationship with the public realm. The methodology, starting from an extended literature review and relevant case studies, develops a comparison between the use and perceptions of the spaces before and after the temporary interventions.

Coastal Cities Network (CCN) This is a Research Development Funded (RDF) project involving Walter Menteth, Silvio Caputo and Francis Graves from the School of Architecture (CCi Faculty) associated with Mark Gaterell and Sarah Percival from the School of Civil Engineering (Faculty of Technology).
128
A workshop was held in March 2016 to develop ideas with local stakeholders for presentation at an international symposium held in Portsmouth on the 11th & 12th April 2016 when local work was presented alongside that of potential partners from other European Coastal Cities looking at urban/community resilience to flooding.
RECENT RESEARCH, PROJECTS AND COLLABORATIONS The CCN Symposium concluded with all participants contributing to the development of a draft bid for COST Action Plan European funds to support the establishment/enhancement of the network. This was followed by outline proposals for the development of a bid for Horizon 2020 to be submitted by August 2017. Walter Menteth has written three papers relating to this CCN work that have been made available on line and will contribute to the development of the MArch Studio 5 (MUD) theme for 2016-2017.

CHALK Collaborative Art Installation 2015 The CHALK Collaborative art installation is part of an on-going research project investigating how site-based research, artistic interventions, memory and narrative can both inform a deeper understanding of context and inform contemporary place-making and placebased design. The collaborative artwork was the result of a competitive invitation process to participate as part of the biennial interdisciplinary arts platform 10 days (www.10dayswinchester.org) involving over 100 artists, performers and writers in events and exhibitions in 7 Public Cultural venues across Winchester from 10 October to 7 November 2015 on the selected theme of CHALK. Tina’s initial collaborative proposal was among those selected from over 90 applications*. The piece was to be displayed within the HUB of the event, the City Space, Winchester Discovery Centre, a venue that attracted 2500 visitors* over the course of the exhibition.
CHALK: LAYERED NARRATIVE OF MATERIAL PLACE (Mixed Media Installation) Lead: Tina Bird Wallbridge Student Collaborators: Ian Lenton, Kayleigh Johnson, Cynara Bueno da Silva, Hannah Smith and Jessica Kemp with support from the CCI Eldon Workshop The artwork developed from research into CHALK and its associated flint nodules, one being formed from skeletal remains of sea creatures – coccoliths, the other from silicified sponges forming in the in-between spaces. The installation developed the theme of Tina’s artwork to date of palimpsest of place and layered narrative. The piece developed as a Geological mapping installation dealing with CHALK in 3D through time. Research had shown that thin slices of flint reveal lost histories, this was 129
RECENT RESEARCH, PROJECTS AND COLLABORATIONS explored within the layering of the Artwork, the etched narratives, implied depth and ‘cabinet within a cabinet’ along with the stratified laying down of skeletal fragments (made within a studio workshop). The Artefact developed themes of encapsulate/reveal, fire/ geological marker (flint), water and bone/embodiment. The reflective qualities of both inner and outer cabinet, attenuated depth of distinctive escarpment contoured layers, use of fishing wire all expressed layered depth and the geological watery past of CHALK. “The whole process has had a significant impact on the way I approach concept ideas for architectural design and has been a lot of fun. It has also opened up a connection to another creative community, which will hopefully continue.” Kayleigh Johnson About layered narrative: “Ethereal!” “Peaceful and absorbing, Thank you” Tina Bird Wallbridge
Listening Space – A competition for The University of Winchester MA Interior Design students worked with The University of Winchester, Winchester Centre of Religion, Reconciliation and Peace, on a competition to design a Listening Space. The Listening Place will be an innovative, small-scale meeting space to provide a liminal environment for experimental dialogue, inter-religious, group work and creative thinking projects. Students used text/textural processes to develop design propositions for the space. They produced solutions that explored the sound of place through thinking about the layers of a shell and leaves and words forming nested space. Belinda Mitchell
Leverhulme Trust Bid: A Guide for the Redevelopment of Underused Church Buildings
130
This project is three partner collaboration between the University of Portsmouth (UoP), The University of Chichester (UoC) and The Council for Social Responsibility (CSR) – a local Anglican social action charity. The research project aims to develop an accessible decision support framework for redevelopment of underused church buildings. The final output
RECENT RESEARCH, PROJECTS AND COLLABORATIONS will be a guide for stakeholders (policy-makers, practitioners, and church and community groups) to use when conceiving and implementing decisions on the future of faith and community buildings. Although the study will focus on church buildings, the outputs will be aimed at all faith and community building projects. A proposal has been drafted and approved by the University Peer Review College and is awaiting final confirmation of costings from external partners prior to formal submission for external funding to The Leverhulme Trust.

Scenario Engine: Concepts of Play and Game Design in Architecture Scenarios are an integral part of architectural education– from the design brief through to the final Part 3 case study. How can these be translated into opportunities for digital learning? The profession and education of future architects is changing not only from the outside in – but from the inside out. Today, the average student will have grown up playing 12-13 hours of video games per week, potentially more than 13,000 hours by the time they reach 21, and the time is increasing year on year. Has this turned them into experts, practicing beyond the magical 10,000 hour mark? Experts at what? Entertainment, immediate feedback, reward, ranking and replay are some of the key components shaping students expectations in games, and filtering into the classroom and studio. This is where gamification, the use of gaming playing concepts in non-game contexts, has the potential to support practice and learning. As part of developing research into play and gamification in architecture, Paula Craft-Pegg is working with staff in the School of Architecture and the School of Computing and Creative Technology, to create an online scenario based game to support learning and teaching in Architecture.

How many ways are there to open a door?
This project investigates our bodily engagement with architecture and how we can map and measure it. It considers a grammar/vocabulary of language of bodily actions as people cross thresholds. The work examines effective ways of moving in space to create healthy environments with places to stretch, to move beyond the linearity of the line and to find ways to intersect with a building. In 20115/16 Chawton House Library the home of the Knight family and Jane Austen’s brother was used as a case study, to examine the historical developments of thresholds. 131
RECENT RESEARCH, PROJECTS AND COLLABORATIONS Many historic houses separate the inside and out, the narratives for the site are defined through the materiality of the building rather than thinking of the site in terms of routes, journeys, and thresholds. We examined thresholds, between interior and exterior landscapes, through documenting the everyday movements we make as we walk through doors – doors being locations where we have tactile contact with a building, connecting one space to another.

Paris Val de Seine School of Architecture MArch Studio 5 (MUD) work and 2015-2016 theme, “The Anatomy of Island City,” was presented at an international symposium in November 2015 at the Paris Val de Seine School of Architecture. This was integrated into an interdisciplinary programme: “Europeanisation of Urban Territories and European Towns” under the banners: “Plural Societies” and “The Politics of Pluralism and Diversity”. MArch Studio 5 (MUD)’s contribution was arranged through the Eramus + Teaching exchange Agreement set up between Paris Val de Seine and the Portsmouth Schools of Architecture. Francis Graves
‘The minimisation of Energy Loss from St Thomas Anglican Cathedral, Portsmouth – A thermographic analysis’ Masters students one in Sustainable Architecture and one in Historic Building Conservation are working on a collaborative research project, which provides an evaluation of the existing energy loss for St Thomas Anglican Cathedral, Portsmouth. Minimisation of energy loss in buildings is an effective step towards achieving building sustainability by helping to control rising energy costs and reduce environmental footprints. With increasing concerns of energy minimisation and low energy consumption within the building sector, thermographic analysis, which uses an infrared camera to identify possible areas of energy loss in buildings provides an appropriate non-destructive technology for the building diagnostics of historic buildings. It is generally recognised that infrared thermography is an excellent tool for fast identification of masonry textures, hidden structures (such as filled doors, windows and cavities), cracks pattern, non-homogeneous masonry and moisture distribution.
132
RECENT RESEARCH, PROJECTS AND COLLABORATIONS The Masters students have a specific objective to provide strategies to reduce existing energy loss and improve occupier comfort levels whilst avoiding escalating energy costs for St Thomas Anglican Cathedral. To date they have provided initial feasibility surveys and thermographic image assessments. They have proposed a performance-monitoring programme with the introduction of meters to spot anomalies and unusual trends and therefore identify wasted energy. Research is ongoing.

Gathering to Gather: verb - to go out, seek and collect with intent, to come together, meet, eat, drink and share…. the rich culture and history of the Balkan region offers a unique lesson to Europe. ‘Gathering’ forms part of a combined documentary and pedagogic research programme which explores the potentials of that lesson through the lens of architectural education, seeking factual, social and contextual understanding through literature and records, at the same time as direct personal engagement through the travels of the Emergent post-graduate studio. Current collaborators at staff and student level are architecture schools and practices in Ljubljana, Slovenia and Sarajevo, Bosnia. A future connection is being considered with Belgrade in Serbia through a past student’s initiative. Greg Bailey
