INTRODUCTION

Welcome to the 2018 Yearbook. This collective voice of the School highlights the distinctive environment we are building for informed speculation on the future. The work portrayed here is the result of propositional discourse, where the notion of debate and exchange through design exploration has empowered students to engage with challenging social and urban landscapes. Many studios this year have responded to our intention to further our global reach, and project sites are wide-ranging--from within the environs of Portsmouth, but also extending to places such as Elefsina, Fiji and Puerto Rico. Examining these environmental and social encounters, students have come to a greater understanding of the need for architecture to make an appropriate and effective contextual response. The outcome has been work that expresses the generosity of spirit and citizenship that architecture is capable of promoting. The making that is evidenced here--from conceptual models, technical analysis, urban fabric and speculative materiality--demonstrates the excellent support students have found in our workshops. The construction of the Edge Pavilion in the Eldon Courtyard, an urban intervention project, is contributing to the research discourse in the School in addition to providing students with live design and build experience. The PASS lecture programme this year has brought some exceptional designers into our studios, setting the scene for the Research Symposium in June. Work across all courses is showing the influence of academic research, and the programme is the richer for it. The School continues to grow in stature, evidenced by the diversity of work showcased here. This is highlighted through initiatives such as the Media Hub, which extends analytical tools together with graphic capabilities. This Yearbook illustrates how students have found their own creative path through the rigour of enquiry, and their ability to synthesise these strands to produce meaningful architecture. Our graduates can look forward to a promising, fulfilling and rewarding career, and we wish them well as they move into the world of practice. Pamela Cole

The first year programme, combined across BA Architecture and BA Interior Architecture & Design, is formulated to engage students with a range of design challenges and introduce them to notions of history & theory, technology and representation & communications skills. Projects included: surveying and hand drawing building elevations across the city of Portsmouth; dissecting case study houses with a paradigm exercise called ‘Autopsy’; proposing innovative design ideas to help the local community engage with the natural landscape of Milton Common; and designing explorative live-work units in confined volumes for unique clients. Each project builds on the skills from the previous towards the final project of the year, where Architecture and Interior Architecture separate in order to develop their distinctive identities. For this final design unit, Architecture students designed studios in the city centre intended to offer new opportunities for designers and makers to showcase and promote their work. Interior Architecture and Design students looked into how to accommodate co-working environments into commercial spaces, exploring spatial design, function and materiality within an existing building. Throughout the year, between regular studio weeks, students engaged in a number of activities that enriched their curriculum. Making Week introduced them to the CCI workshop and material exploration, culminating with the annual Make & Break challenge when students work in teams to design, build and test a structure made of balsa wood. In November, Field Trip Week included a trip to Rome where students experienced architecture through sketching and photography. Finally, Research Week in February challenged Architecture students to explore design principles through the crafting of explorative models and Interior students to conduct some field research on user experience in different venues across Portsmouth. Through these projects and activities, first-year students acquired essential skills and sharpened their talents. Their output reveals the application of these efforts and their readiness for further ventures into their disciplines. Roberto Braglia, Lynne Mesher and Phevos Kallitsis

This year the second-year design studio welcomed students full of ambition and ready to build on the knowledge, skills and processes developed in their first year of study. The projects were intended to provide opportunities for students to test, debate, experiment, make and explore architectural responses while increasing their self-confidence and helping them discover their identity as designers. The year started with an exploration of the context, motives and design thinking of a range of global architectural projects. Students were invited through models to extend, adapt or change an existing paradigm building based on a selected architectural stance. This provided a foundation for two further design projects located on the island of Portsea, one on the northern edge and one on the southern. The first design project called for proposals for a youth hostel within the Hilsea Lines, the island’s only natural woodland. The woodland has grown in and around the historic monument of military fortifications. The complex programme and challenging site constraints were set against a requirement to respond sympathetically and lyrically to the context. The final major design project of the year entitled ‘City of Horizons’ introduced students to the complexity of urban context through narrative exploration. Students selected one of three functional frameworks--a gallery, a night school or a theatre--as the basis for detailed brief development. The schemes developed across a constellation of sites along the island city’s southwest coast. The project offered valuable insight into Portsmouth’s unique context through the creation of narratives and discussions on brief writing, as well as research to inform design approach and urban strategy. During the project students were encouraged to identify an individual position relative to architectural design practice and its wider context. We have encouraged reflection on previous study and consideration on growing fields of interest to allow students to demonstrate how an understanding of design, history, place and culture can influence the creation of design briefs and architectural form. Throughout the year courses in representation, construction technology and modern philosophical thought underpinned the design studios’ work. Nicola Crowson

This year marked a change for third-year architecture design course with the establishment of five distinct studios, each with their own project briefs and architectural agendas. Building on the research interests of each studio leader, the groups of third year students undertook two major projects. The first focussed on developing large-scale urban design visions, and the second shared the common theme of new forms of housing to meet the needs of the new millennium.

Studio 1: Vectis

Working in Newport on the Isle of Wight, Studio 1 began by undertaking a detailed urban analysis of the town, building a large physical model of the urban centre. As with many cities the decline of Newport’s High Street along with a waning number of people living in town presents challenges for how we collectively envision the future of our urban areas on the island and elsewhere. The students developed radical scenarios that introduce new activities and events to stimulate a new and sustainable life in the town. The studio then considered how a series of vacant sites in Newport might be used to once again make the town an attractive and vibrant place for people of all ages to live. Finally, students developed housing schemes with the goal of creating new communities based around ideas of shared living and communal facilities. - Martin Pearce and Richard Burgess

Studio 2: Densifying & Intensifying the ‘Terraced Sea’ The terrace house is the typology that epitomizes British urbanization, its architectural ‘bread and butter’. It shapes a unique and relentless tissue that has become a national vernacular, the standardized mantra of British urban life. This ‘terraced sea’ is repetitive, homogeneous and isotropic. Like a Fordist phenomenon prior to Henry Ford, it forecasted serial production. The terraced sea is almost entirely mono-functional and private. It is also the apex of architectural convention and inhibits any architectural creativity, since no architecture is possible where all parameters are set and pure repetition is at work. Under its regime, mere construction prevails. More importantly, it lacks the urban intensity that can be found elsewhere. Studio 2 used the terrace house typology as a test bed to counter architectural and urban banality. We sought to ‘densify’ the terraced sea by not only increasing its built mass, but also its functional diversity, its vivacity, its public spaces and inclusiveness--in short, its urban intensity. - Pablo Martínez Capdevila and Dörte Stollberg-Barkley

Studio 3: Closed Loops and Living Systems (Energy, Production and Waste in the Age of Self-Sufficient Architecture)

According to the 2017 revision of the World Population Prospect, by 2050 almost 10-billion people will live on Planet Earth. The global human footprint (a measure of how much we are using the Earth’s natural resources) tells us that every year humanity already consumes significantly more natural resources than what the planet is able to produce, creating a tremendous pressure on Earth’s biocapacity. We use more resources than nature can regenerate and output more CO2 into the atmosphere than forests can process. This global situation requires a radical re-thinking about human settlements. Can architects envision new neighbourhood and building typologies that will be able to be self-sufficient and regenerate resources, rather than consume them? Can we design neighbourhoods as ecological models for urban development in the years to come? - Guido Robazza and Antonino Di Raimo

Studio 4: Fluidcity

Fluidcity is an experimental studio on climate-sensitive design. It is based on the need to rethink the urban fabric and its relationship with the troposphere in order to transform cities into virtuous open systems that can react to climate change. No longer will architecture be defined as an object, a unique and recognizable item. Rather, it will entail hybrid landscapes generated by specific variations of the urban continuum, involving autopoietic processes that can adapt to extreme environmental conditions such as flooding or desertification. Hence, students were tasked with designing habitats (not buildings) that can contribute to the positive development of the ecosystem while responding to the increasing social pressures within cities. The use of experimental techniques of representation and the introduction of technological innovation was encouraged. - Alessandro Melis and Clare Ridout

Studio 5: Living with Production

The year 2007 will be remembered as a turning point for industrialised societies; the financial crisis imposed a period of reflection on the role of industrial manufacturing in society. As a result, increasingly, companies are bringing back factories within their countries to make national economies more resilient. Furthermore, fast technological advancements enable individuals and small start-ups to produce sophisticated products everywhere. This phenomenon has the potential to change the relationship between cities and places of production. If we fast-forward to the year 2050, technologies that today are still being tested will revolutionise the way we produce and consume in cities, creating new jobs and new ways to live with production. This studio asked students to anticipate the future and design new neighbourhoods and building typologies that integrate production, technological progress and living. 30

BA2 INTERIOR ARCHITECTURE & DESIGN BA2 IAD TEACHING TEAM Design Studio: Martin Andrews, Stephen Anderson, Dario Pedrabissi, Karen Fielder, Katie Wilmot Technology: Stephen Anderson History and Theory: Heather Coleman Representation and Communication: Guido Robazza

The BA2 Interior Architecture and Design programme introduces students to new themes and approaches that aim to improve the following: 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, encouraging risk-taking to push the boundaries of design practice and thinking. This year the first design project was located to the north of Portsmouth in an existing Palmerston Fort known locally as ‘Bastion 6’. This project provided students with the opportunity to bridge the divide between education and practice. Working closely with the clients, students were provided with the exciting opportunity of engaging with a ‘real’ client while working on a ‘live’ project. In simple terms, for the duration of this project, the students designed a museum for the clients so that they could display their unique collection of World War 1 artefacts in a welcoming and technologically cutting-edge environment. The students were also asked to design a (modular) exhibition stand that the clients could use to display their rich collection of WW1 stories and artefacts. The second unit worked with two different sites, the first a retail project (‘Flexible Habitation’) located in London and the second a residential project (‘Mass Housing Reloaded’) located in Portsmouth. Both of these projects challenged the students to work at a variety of scales: from the analysis and understanding of site context; to the development of varied and interesting briefs; to the prototyping of large scale models; to the making of components and details. These design units were underpinned and enhanced by the other taught courses: Unit 230 Representation and Communication, which focused on CAD and hybrid approaches to representation; Unit 240 Interior Technology, which enhanced students’ technical skills and understanding of interior environments; and Unit 270 History and Theory of the Interior, which examined the production and use of interior spaces, objects and representations in the 19th and 20th Centuries and their particular histories and social contexts. As part of this, students and staff went on a study visit to the Geffrye Museum and the Victoria & Albert Museum in London. The range of knowledge gained and skills developed in this second year allowed students to explore their design abilities, preparing them for the demands of their third and final year of study.

Fragmentation and Synthesis

Design Studio: Rachael Brown, Phevos Kallitsis Lynne Mesher, Anne Templeton

This year, BA3 Interior Architecture and Design students participated in a collective inquiry to investigate, analyse and interpret the city of Southampton and the fragments that define the identity of this vibrant place. After discovering the layered history of people and events that shaped the city, students completed alternative readings of the spaces, materials and culture. They also investigated the narratives of the Old Town including the monuments, the vaults, the Tudor House and the waterfront setting. This research was supported by a visit to the SeaCity Museum and a guided tour of the Historic Quarter.

Interior Identity: Belinda Mitchell Dissertation: Heather Coleman Professional Studies: Rachael Brown

As a community of learners and researchers, students and tutors adopted playful approaches to learning, using collage as a platform to analyse spaces and places, to reveal unexpected possibilities and relationships, to construct new meanings and to communicate narratives. This process has informed design projects, academic research and the end-of-year exhibition. The students developed project briefs for two linked design units. The first design unit, Room Narratives, was a project where stories of the city were interpreted and translated into three-dimensional concepts for a hotel. This project was supported by architect and drama therapist, Thodoris Kostidakis.The second design unit, the Interior Major Project, provided students with the opportunity to express their interests in interior practice and theory by writing their brief for one of the sites in Southampton, responding to a social need they had identified. A diverse range of projects emerged, including: Junky Home, a sustainable making and selling space; Museum of Memories, an exhibition of WWII artefacts; and Cultural Shot, a project that encourages social cohesion and the appreciation of Southampton’s cultural riches through the use of film and photography. Both design units were informed by the Interior Identity Unit, in which students investigated issues of interior identity through a rigorous engagement with both theory-led and practice-based research. As part of this investigation, the students were fortunate to work with local artist, Eileen White, and to have their work exhibited at the Aspex Gallery in Portsmouth. The year’s work was underpinned by the professional studies unit which introduced the students to the professional rigours of design practice, covering topics such as building regulations, professional ethics and values, inclusive design and professional promotion. The students also completed their dissertation, a sustained investigation of theory and practice and substantial piece of academic writing. We have been very impressed with our students’ dedication and the quality and individuality of the work produced; we wish them every success in the future.

This year, interrogation and experimentation were also underlying themes across the studios. Student projects engaged in and questioned the politics and socio-economic structures that shape the built environment, with a strong emphasis on cultural and environmental sustainability. The 2017-18 Studios: – Studio 1: Dwelling Patterns – Studio 2: SOLVE – Studio 3: Making, Understanding and Doing (MUD): Isle of Wight – Studio 4: Tactical Urbanism – Studio 5: Architecture & Landscape: Chronotope – Studio 6: Cultural Capital: Intensifying Heritage Through Architectural Interface – Studio 7: Latent Dynamics: Waste(d) Cityscapes The MArch Course provides exemption from ARB/ RIBA Part II and can be studied over two years of full-time study or four years part-time. Our overarching aims are to: – Provide a challenging, supportive, and collaborative environment – Help students explore and develop strong design skills – Engender in students self-motivation 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 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 and technical resolution of their urban and architectural design projects. Studio field trips and workshops, both local and international, provide students with additional opportunities to engage in the context of practice, collaborating with professionals, schools, residents, researchers and government agencies. Weekly presentations and workshops with guest lecturers, open to all MArch students, covered regional and global issues including urban design, tactical urbanism, urban farming, research in architecture, landscape architecture, environmental systems, detailing, drawing and representation. Paula Craft-Pegg

MASTER OF ARCHITECTURE (MArch) STUDIO 1: DWELLING PATTERNS The studio is interested in what it means to live in the city today. Contemporary urban development appears to be driven by intertwining factors that are mostly out of the control of inhabitants, developed as ‘blank spaces’ and designed with conventional, consolidated, ready-made schemes, that promote homogenisation over specificity. What are the advantages/disadvantages of living in an urban environment? How do we want to live in contemporary cities? What are we looking for by living in a city? What are our ambitions? And what of dwelling? Shouldn’t cities be places with character to enjoy and celebrate life, where people want to live, where a sense of belonging and community is promoted; vibrant places where density, intensity and critical mass bring energy and dynamism; sustainable places that are able to adapt, transform and evolve with society? With these questions, students undertook a series of interconnected studies exploring mixed-use, dense urban living scenarios around the city of Portsmouth, as well as extant local dwelling types and their social contexts: – The Brunel House Vertical Settlement: The parallel construction of six schematic towers enabled students to examine the implications of different ‘parameters’ concerned with spatial, environmental, commercial, social, structural, economic, climatic and contextual considerations. – Mapping & Thematic Research: A set of criteria were agreed upon with which to direct and depict analytical studies of different neighbourhoods in the city, each presenting a distinct historic ‘settlement pattern.’ – Masterplan and Architectural Design Proposals: Potential local implications for a series of global scenarios (ecological, socio-political, economic, etc) were used to generate masterplan narratives for each of the neighbourhoods, within which mixed residential proposals could be developed during the second half of the year. The programme was complemented and informed by a study trip to Milan, taking in a number of strategic urban renewal projects by architects such as Libeskind and Hadid. Dan Blott, Roberto Braglia

MASTER OF ARCHITECTURE (MArch) STUDIO 2: MAKING UNDERSTANDING DOING MArch1 Studio 2 (MUD) focussed on ”understanding” through “making & doing”. Students were encouraged to engage with the design process concurrently with their analysis and reflections on the studio themes. The themes of the studio responded to climate change-induced rise in sea levels in conjunction with the development of urban infrastructure. This year, we worked with the Isle of Wight Council Regeneration team on urban developments in Ryde, Shanklin and Newport, encouraging students to engage with local stakeholders by presenting design proposals outside the university with a view towards influencing the development of local urban and architectural visions. In February 2018 a field trip was arranged to Lisbon to study the city and its architectural wealth. This included walking tours of the city and a group workshop where students engaged with local urban design concepts relating to the waterfront. Students who were unable to go to Portugal along with selected Masters students in Sustainable Cities and Interior Design entered the Paris-based International Multidisciplinary Group Arturbain Masters Competition with support by engineering tutors. Additionally, studio tutors have been working with the “Southsea Seafront Campaign” (SSC) to ensure the development of a flood-resilient urban vision for Portsmouth and Southsea. SSC is a local campaigning group set up to ensure that current flood prevention proposals for the Southsea Seafront meet the group’s visionary aspirations. Francis Graves, Walter Menteth

MASTER OF ARCHITECTURE (MArch) STUDIO 3: SOLVE At the core of studio SOLVE is the idea that buildings must be seen and designed not only in terms of mere form, function and performance, but rather as catalysts for positive socioeconomic and environmental change. Buildings are designed to improve the quality of life of occupants and contribute to the making of places in terms of identity and functionality. But quality, identity and functionality are strictly linked to global dynamics, which have an impact on the local ecology and socio-economic conditions. If such conditions are negative, the contribution of buildings to the well-being of occupants is largely compromised. Within this perspective, in order to deliver good architecture, architects must connect the global with the local through design concepts that understand the complexity of global dynamics to subsequently apply such an understanding locally. They must become strategists, using systems thinking to anticipate the future and cross their disciplinary boundaries. In this studio, students have developed an urban and architectural strategy, generating a design proposal that addresses four factors: architecture, ecology, economy and society. The site for studio SOLVE is Eleusis, a Greek city nominated as City of Culture 2021, which intends to use this opportunity to relaunch a stagnant economy. But Eleusis has also deep-rooted environmental problems to address. Furthermore, culture as an engine for regeneration can be meaningless if solutions are not designed to deliver long-term benefits for all and to address dramatic environmental degradation. Can we think of other strategies that have not been tried before, addressing concomitantly social, economic and environmental dimensions? Silvio Caputo

MASTER OF ARCHITECTURE (MArch) STUDIO 4: TACTICAL URBANISM Tactical Urbanism studio aims at emphasizing the role of urban and architectural design within the broader field of ecological thinking. In order to pursue this intent, we propose an investigation meaningfully focused on the relation between the natural and the artificial as the main conceptual frame for the development of the urban/architectural proposals. The projects are located in the eastern edge of the city of Portsmouth that entails a border condition enclosed between the built fabric of the city and the natural area of Langstone Harbour.

Initially, Tactical Urbanism students engaged in a live project, designing and building a temporary The Edge Pavilion. This involved them in developing a design of a small-sized architectural object from the initial concept to the detailed design and digital fabrication process. In the second part of the year, the studio followed up the investigation on the relation between natural areas and the surrounding urban neighbourhoods, engaging in the design of new mixed-use typologies such as an ecological monitoring centre, an ecotourism accommodation, a biomuseum, or an intergenerational urban farming centre. Students were encouraged to develop experimental protocols operating between architecture and environment and explore them with advanced computational tools. They explored the relation between city and nature in order to trigger transformations capable of exalting both the city and the surrounding protected areas. By reinterpreting the border between the urban and the natural, projects imagined relational space rather than concretizing their separation. Guido Robazza, Antonino Di Raimo

MASTER OF ARCHITECTURE (MArch) STUDIO 5: ARCHITECTURE AND LANDSCAPE: CHRONOTOPE “With cities, it is as with dreams: everything imaginable can be dreamed, but even the most unexpected dream is a rebus that conceals a desire or, its reverse, a fear. Cities, like dreams, are made of desires and fears, even if the thread of their discourse is secret, their rules are absurd, their perspectives deceitful, and everything conceals something else.” – Italo Calvino, Invisible Cities

Narratives of time and space, landscapes, buildings and secret gardens were the starting point for developing individual thesis projects this year. Through small projects and thesis research, students experimented with architecture and landscape spaces - time/space, public/private, interior/exterior, and the desire for the in/between. Our initial project explored landscapes in the city through different narratives, inspired by the writings of Calvino, Burnett, H.G. Wells, and contemporary theoretical, social, and economic perspectives. Field trips to London and Lisbon, and a conceptual drawing workshop with artist Rose Nag, were catalysts for approaching design through different perspectives. Final thesis projects, sites, and briefs were developed through the early investigations and chosen by the student, individually or in groups. Students worked in locations across the UK, Jamaica, and Nepal.

MASTER OF ARCHITECTURE (MArch) STUDIO 6: CULTURAL CAPITAL This Master of Architecture studio has been investigating the future role of architecture in defining possible futures for cultural exchange within a heritage environment. This is an ambitious programme that seeks to envision and develop architectural projects, which are able to challenge architectural, social and cultural conventions. We have been working within the context of Winchester and designing architecture that aims to produce innovative spaces for knowledge and cultural exchange for the next 10, 25, 50 or even 100 years. Working in a city with an overarching presence of the past and aiming at envisioning future scenarios from a radical stance, we seek an architecture that could inspire a new view of Winchester and its future. This year we exhibited our developing work for a month at the City Space Winchester as part of the ‘Mayors Choice’ (of cultural artefacts from the Hampshire Culture Trust Archives) and held a symposium as part of the event to discuss our developing cultural responses to the city, both of which received very positive feedback. The exhibition re-imagined Winchester as a City of Experience, of Memory, of Knowledge and included three-dimensional conceptual artefacts, inspired by Cornell’s assemblage boxes, that summarised students’ thinking about culture, Winchester and their research. These, alongside cultural mappings, marked the beginning of students’ design journeys. Students were encouraged to continue this culture of making and experimentation into their thesis design development deepening both a theoretical stance (radical typology) and the identity of their architecture in context.

MASTER OF ARCHITECTURE (MArch) STUDIO 7: LATENT DYNAMICS: WASTE(D) CITYSCAPES Latent Dynamics are the hidden energies that wait to materialise and take form. Every year this studio tries to explore these concealed forces. This year we looked into the topic of Waste(d) Cityscapes in the industrial city of Elefsina, Greece.

MArch 2 - Adamantios Xanthoudidis Hybrid Urban Prison - 3D Exterior

The students had the challenge and the opportunity to discover a place that itself is a Latent Dynamic, as it combines a rich ancient history, a strong industrial part, a vibrant local community, and the international spotlight as it is going to be the European Capital of Culture 2021. The students were drawn into the charm of the place and worked together to analyse the site, talking to local architects, mapping out opportunities and problems, and creating an online platform to exchange information. Then they ventured into their individual projects focusing into Elefsina after 2021. Those individual journeys managed to work as a whole, combining personal aspiration, social responsibilities, aesthetic challenges and current discourse on architectural and urban planning. Responding to a demand for architects to develop the knowledge to creatively adapting existing buildings for environmental, historical and social reasons, the studio looked into the city as a whole, reusing existing structures. By mobilising suspended or redundant sites the projects explored journeys into mythology, new building technologies, new techniques on traditional functions, creative ways to improve the existing infrastructure and services, alternative approaches into the penitentiary system, and the creation of new landmarks.

FINAL EXAMINATION IN PROFESSIONAL PRACTICE (PART 3) PART 3 TEACHING TEAM

“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

Emma Dalton, Phevos Kallitsis, Paula Craft-Pegg, Pam Cole

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. Students taking the Final Examination (part 3) course are bridging academia and practice, and are our touchstone to the future and a constantly changing profession. Our cohort are based in a diverse range of practices, from small local firms to international multidisciplinary companies, working on projects in the UK and around the globe. For many students, the highlights of the course are our interactive Fee Bidding and Contract Workshops, using role play and scenarios to engage students directly in making decision and forming judgements related to project and practice management. Our programme reflects current paradigms as well as ARB criteria, and adjusts its teaching to remain topical. This year we introduced new lectures and workshops in subject such as CDM Regulations, the Business of Architecture, and The Equality Act, as well as making enhancements to our existing lectures. This is delivered collaboratively by our in house professional practice team and industry experts; directors of local practices, chartered surveyors, land agents, solicitors and one of the country’s few dual-qualified architect/ barristers. We actively encourage our students to become engaged in the issues and debates that are shaping practice today. Emma Dalton

MA AND MSc DEGREES

MA/MSC TEACHING TEAM: Belinda Mitchell, Karen Fielder, Fabiano Lemes, Alessandro Melis, Pam Cole, Heather Coleman, Elizabeth Tuson, Tod Wakefield

MSc Historic Building Conservation, MA Interior Design, MA Sustainable Cities, MA Professional Practice and M’Res. 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 redirect their skills. Each course has two core units that explore the theory and practice of the chosen discipline. Through project work and theoretical discussions, students begin to develop a focused area of study within their discipline that culminates in an independent thesis project. The programmes are taught in an interdisciplinary environment with students working together in joint units: Research Methods, Integration, Work-Based Learning and Thesis. This year Integration focused on a project at West Dean College where students worked on a live project for the development of pavilions situated in the landscape. The project acts as a cognitive vehicle in which interior design, conservation and environmental sustainability coexist in the form of an assemblage. Design proposals were developed by experimenting with software programs as Arduino, Rhino and Studio Max and prototyping through the use of 3D printers. Work-Based Learning allows students to engage creatively with the workplace. For example, it allows conservation students to implement their new-found knowledge and skills within different fields of conservation. Students are able to identify a preferred career path within the profession that they would like to explore. With the agreement of the host organisation, they can devise a series of tasks that provide grounded experience in the chosen area working on real-world challenges at historic sites.

MSC HISTORIC BUILDING CONSERVATION The MSc in Historic Building Conservation encourages students to investigate the theoretical debates that underpin conservation practice. It aims to equip students with the specialist knowledge and skills that enable them to pursue careers in the historic environment sector whilst provoking them to think critically about the practice of conservation. Through processes of historical research, field observation and analysis our students evaluate the historic significance and heritage values of a range of historic sites of their own choice in order to produce conservation statements. This year the sites included a historic railway bridge, a tin chapel, a medieval timber-framed pub, and a pair of 17th-century stone fireplaces in Canada. The students conducted condition inspections of a number of historic English churches, including a distinctive East Anglian round-towered church and a small mission church in Fareham. The historic city of Winchester provided one of the contexts for evaluating the impact of new design interventions in sensitive historic settings, whilst some students ranged more widely to London and Oxfordshire to investigate other case studies.

MSc HBC – Mihai-George Brasoveanu Banquetting House Whitehall

The MSc is taught in an interdisciplinary learning environment, and one of the collaborative projects this year required the HBC students to work alongside MAID students to carry out a measured survey of the Great Hall of Wymering Manor in Cosham. Site visits included Salisbury Cathedral, where students were fortunate to see Sir Christopher Wren’s condition report on the tower, as well as undertaking a breath-taking climb within the tower to the base of the spire. Karen Fielder

MA INTERIOR DESIGN

The interior design course is diverse; it fosters creative practice and creative thought, allowing students to question the boundaries of their discipline and develop their identity within it. The course uses interdisciplinary process to support students engaging with interior texts, theories and subject representations. This academic year, the students worked at Wymering Manor, a 16th-century house in Cosham, to interrogate what interior design can be. They examined the site through a process of ‘sitting in’ which encouraged creative writing, relational drawings and photography in order to respond to the affective capacities of the space. The form of the artists’ book was used to coalesce their subjective responses and to re-imagine the ways that we might represent or inhabit interior space. The books were exhibited as part of “Substance”, a book fair at the Aspex Gallery in Portsmouth.

MAID - Iwona Tocewicz - Light in Historic Buildings, Meditation Studio

Students also engaged with the wider environment of postgraduate study in the school of architecture. Hattice Ozer took part in the Art Urbain International competition as part of an interdisciplinary team across the Master’s courses. The project examined public spaces in Shanklin on the Isle of Wight and was shortlisted in the final top 14 schemes going on to win the Public Vote Award. Qing Yu has been awarded a Santander Mobility Award to travel to Fiji and work as part of the CA.UK.IN Studio, an architectural design group that offers volunteer opportunities to locations across the world to run humanitarian architecture projects. Qing’s thesis project focuses on emergency shelter accommodation for post-disaster circumstances. Contributors to the studio this year have been: Dr Elizabeth Tuson, Dr Karen Fielder, Kate Baker, visual artist Eileen White, Jonathan Torchlight Heritage, and Ben French from Wymering Manor Trust.

MA SUSTAINABLE CITIES

The MA Sustainable Cities worked within the premise of an integrated approach that included theoretical discussions on key topics related to the contemporary city; design explorations across the macro, meso and micro scales; and the use of advanced computational tools. Topics such as systemic planning, nature in the city, environmental design and resilience formed the core of the discussions in the theory unit, which ran alongside a range of computational sessions to introduce students to parametric and analytical tools such as Rhinoceros, Grasshopper, Ladybug and Flowdesign. This year we ran a one-week workshop, lead by Dr Antonino Di Raimo, on ‘Parametric Urbanism’, which was incredibly successful. Such tools were used to support students in dealing with complexity and as decision-making tools in their Practice unit. The major project undertaken in the Practice unit dealt with the need for further urbanisation, reduction of our impact on the planet and the increase in natural capital. Students designed a new town of 15,000 inhabitants in the Solent region. The main aim was to explore the hypothesis of the founding of a new town as one of the possible strategies that can offer a positive response to the speed and magnitude of change with a specific focus on the climate crisis. Further exploration of parametric tools and materiality at the local scale was developed in Integration. One of our students went on to participate in the Arturbain International Competition and was awarded 5th place (out of 49 entries), winning the Public’s vote. This was the only UK scheme that made it to the final stage. The integrated approach at the core of this course is bearing fruits. The high-quality work our students has produced encourage us to further follow this path of exploring systemic solutions for our cities. Fabiano Lemes, Alessandro Melis

POSTGRADUATE RESEARCH DEGREES The School currently has seven Postgraduate Research Degree students (PGRDS) including one member of staff. One student, Line Nørskov Eriksen, successfully completed her doctoral studies during the course of the year, with her investigation of the travel writing of Danish Architect Jørn Utzon. Nicholas Ardill’s research focuses on the impact of Places of Social Innovation (POSI) on the urban milieu with emphasis on emerging landscapes of urban food production. Marianna Gardener is investigating the relationship between the urban environment and health through case studies of contrasting socioeconomic wards in Portsmouth. She has recently begun conducting public engagement events as part of her research. Monika SzopinskaMularz is examining how nature-based urban farming can be implemented to provide a solution for the regeneration of compact cities. We also welcomed three new PGRDS to the School this year. Antonio Lara Hernandez is investigating the temporary appropriation of public space in the World Heritage Site of Mexico City centre. Najla Mansour’s interest is in the building performance of traditional houses in the Syrian city of Homs, and how this might inform the future regeneration of the urban fabric of the old city. Our most recent arrival is Yazid Khemri, who is exploring the implications of emerging sustainability trends for the built environment of the city of Algiers. Guido Robazza, a Senior Lecturer in the School, is investigating the co-creation of temporary interventions in public spaces as a tool for urban regeneration for his part-time PhD.

A PLETHORA OF ACTIVITIES AND EVENTS Every year the School of Architecture hosts various events that offer great opportunities for students to engage with extracurricular activities. In combination with the PASS events, these activities create a rich cultural environment that broadens students’ horizons.

Employers’ Evening and Mock Interviews The annual Employers’ Evening is a social event, open to all graduating students in the School. Practices, who are actively employing students, are invited to present and promote their practices to the students, followed by an informal networking evening. The Mock Interviews form part of the Architecture and Interior Architecture Course, helping students get feedback from practitioners on their CVs, portfolios and interview skills. Engaging students with practice is a fundamental part of our courses, and we were delighted to have the following practices involved in our Employers’ Evening and Mock Interviews this year: ACG Architects, Artichoke Design, BBD - Architecture, Bizzy Blue Design Architecture, BrightSpace, Cube Design, Design Team Studios, ECE Architecture, Fiftypointeight, Hampshire County Council, Hays Recruitment, HD Architects, HGP Architects, HNW Architects, HRP Architects, Hunters South Architects, Hyphen, Jack Morton Worldwide, Kendall Kingscott, LSH Architects, Lyons+Sleeman+Hoare Architects, Matchtech, MH Architects, PDP Architecture, Portsmouth City Council, Randell Design Group, Southampton City Council, and Stride Treglown Architecture.

Academic Visits to Brazil Dr Fabiano Lemes undertook a number of institutional visits to universities in Brazil this academic year, including Universidade de São Paulo, Universidade de Campinas, Pontifícia Universidade Católica do Paraná and Universidade de Brasília. These involved a range of activities with our existing and potential new partners, including lectures, research meetings and speaking with exchange students who will be with us next year. Such activities are part of the Faculty’s and the School’s commitment to further potentialise our global engagement, in light of the University’s recently published Global Engagement Strategy.

Substance: Portsmouth’s Artist Book Event, Aspex Gallery A selection of MA Interior Design and BA Interior Architecture and Design students exhibited artists’ books at Aspex Art Gallery as part of Substance: Portsmouth’s Artist Book Event, PABE 2018. This interdisciplinary collaboration was supported by the Illustration department in CCI and the ‘Ministry of Books’. The artists’ book acts as a hinge between 2D drawing/writing practices and 3D space to generate material narratives for major project briefs and to develop new forms of disciplinary representations. The event and interior engagement with this form of artefact was supported by Maureen O’Neill, Senior Lecturer in Illustration. 107

A PLETHORA OF ACTIVITIES AND EVENTS Research by Design Symposium, 11th-12th June 2018. This two-day symposium explored the synergies between education, practice and research. Research in schools of architecture is often at multi-layered crossroads spanning several approaches, disciplines and methods. While traditional academic scholarship has been historically recognised, the links between design and research have only recently gained force. The symposium responded to the challenges encountered by the architectural research community when conducting and presenting work that involves the designing of cities, buildings, the re-use of historic sites, of placemaking, and the use of new technologies. The event included presentations from four internationally renowned external speakers: Dorian Wisniewski, University of Edinburgh; Javier Arpa, The Why Factory, TU Delft; Thomas Auer, TU Munich; and Yeoryia Manolopoulou, The Bartlett School of Architecture, UCL.

The Edge Pavillion The Edge Pavilion is an exhibition space in Eldon Building courtyard. It serves as a catalyst within the courtyard space, a pivotal point aimed to trigger reciprocal knowledge between the Faculty’s students and enhance how students and external visitors experience this commonly shared faculty space. The Eldon Courtyard is home to a wide community of students of the four Schools of the Cultural and Creative Industries, including the Schools of Architecture, Art and Design, Creative Technologies and Media and Performing Art. The courtyard is a perfect opportunity to bring students together and get to know each other, and the pavilion is a space to display students’ work from all four Schools. M.Arch students from the Tactical Urbanism studio have developed the design from conception to construction. The morphology of the pavilion derives from the movement of people across the space whilst the sequence of frames creates a journey through the space. The design developed the parametric geometry created through advanced, stateof-the-art computational tools and manufacturing processes.

A PLETHORA OF ACTIVITIES AND EVENTS RE_IMAGINING WINCHESTER Exhibition This exhibition, part of ‘Mayor’s Choice’ at the City Space Gallery, Winchester, displayed design processes by M.Arch students running for one month in early 2018. The Cultural Capital Studio has been investigating the future role of architecture in defining possible futures for cultural exchange within a heritage environment. This is an ambitious programme that seeks to envision and develop architectural projects, which are able to challenge architectural, social and cultural conventions. We have been working within the context of Winchester in collaboration with the Hampshire Cultural Trust and designing architecture that aims to produce innovative spaces for knowledge and cultural exchange for the next 10, 25, 50 or even 100 years. Working in a city with an overarching presence of the past and aiming at envisioning future scenarios from a radical stance, we are looking for an architecture that could inspire a new view of Winchester and its future. We were honoured to be able to display our ideas alongside objects from the Cultural Trust Archives selected by the Mayor of Winchester, Cllr David McLean. The Mayor, whose interest in encouraging young people to develop and contribute to the cultural life of the city, was inspirational. We aimed to show not final projects, but how young and developing architects view the city and expose their way of designing architecture. As part of the exhibition we also held a symposium with local architectural practices that received very positive feedback. Following students’ developing themes, the exhibition re-imagined Winchester as a City of Experience, a City of Memory, a City of Knowledge. Tutors: Tina Wallbridge, Pablo Martinez Capdevila

Arturbain International Multidisciplinary Masters Competition Several students from MArch1 Studio 2 (MUD) and the Masters in Sustainable Cities and Interior Design, together with Environmental and Structural Engineering tutors, entered into the 2018 Paris-based Arturbain International Multidisciplinary Masters Competition. The briefs used were based on the MUD Studio’s studies of regeneration in three towns on the Isle of Wight (Ryde, Shanklin and Newport) and adapted to the 2018 Arturbain theme: “Towards a Network of Public Spaces Accessible to All” One team (Shanklin) was shortlisted for the second stage: MArch RIBA Part 2: Masters in Sustainable Cities: Masters in Interior Design: Tutor:

A PLETHORA OF ACTIVITIES AND EVENTS School of Architecture Media Hub at the Creative Expo Havant The Media Hub was chosen to represent the CCI Faculty at the Creative Expo in Havant on the 21st of March 2018. The Creative Expo is an event for the creative industries to exhibit, promote and network with like-minded people. The Media Hub presented the results of the FluidCity projects and also gave a one-hour seminar.

School of Architecture Media Hub at the Innovate UK showcase Innovate UK came together with Innovation South to offer a one day showcase event on the 27th of March in Farnborough. The Media Hub was invited to represent the University of Portsmouth and presented its latest projects including a digitally fabricated, responsive spider robot.

School of Architecture Media Hub at Comicon The Media Hub was invited in May to present its latest project at the Portsmouth Comicon, the international festival of comics. The Media Hub presented several students’ projects including digital fabricated models, Arduino-based robots and agents based animations.

School of Architecture Media Hub competitions The Media Hub is actively involved in the participation and organization of student competitions. In 2018 the Media Hub organised an in-house competition for the construction of a parametric wall that involved second-year students. Moreover, a pavilion designed by Media Hub students has been selected for construction during the International Fabfest hosted by the Westminster University.

A PLETHORA OF ACTIVITIES AND EVENTS Field Trips Field trips are an excellent opportunity for students to expand their knowledge and repertoire of built precedents, but above all to get to know each other and bond. This year, organized opportunities to visit places beyond Portsmouth were numerous. More than 150 first-year students and eight staff members traveled to Rome in November. Crisscrossing the city on foot, they visited dozens of landmarks that represent the many centuries of Roman design and construction strategies. Students developed their skills for capturing architectural space through sketching and photography. Throughout the year, design studios organized day-trips to local project sites in Southampton, Winchester, London, the Isle of Wight and elsewhere. In February, around 40 second-year students journeyed to the architecturally rich city of Prague, while a group of second-year IAD students attended the Chichester Theatre Festival as part of their History & Theory Unit. This year’s destinations for MArch students included: Mallorca, Milan, Athens, and Lisbon. Finally, a group of MA/ MSc students made spent a sunny day in late May touring buildings on the University of Oxford campus as part of their Research Methods Unit.

PORTSMOUTH ARCHITECTURE SCHOOL SOCIETY (PASS) The Portsmouth Architecture School Society (PASS) is a student-led association aimed at promoting architectural culture and debate outside the normal academic schedule. Its main task is organizing the PASS Lecture Series, which has established itself over the years as an essential event in the life of the School. We believe that there is not a single valid or “right” position in architecture. If there is something truly unique about the discipline, it is its irreducible variety, the endless stances and approaches that it allows. Architecture is far too important to be constrained within the narrow framework of a personal style, a specific trend or a certain ideology. Hence, we would like our lecture series to be a lookout to the fascinating and diverse panorama of contemporary architecture, encouraging students to develop their own creativity and personality as architects. In that sense we can feel very proud, since this year’s lecture series has not only been extraordinary in terms of quality but also in terms architectural diversity.

MEDIA HUB

The Media Hub (MH) is a laboratory of advanced technologies and media integrated with architectural design. The MH is also an innovative bottom-up pedagogical model in which the students are at the same time learners and researchers. The motto of the MH is Hans Hollein’s “Everything is Architecture”: urban design, IT, biology, science fiction and climatology are equally relevant to envisage future radical cities. The MH is now led by academics and students Michael Brewster and Patrick Ciermierkiewicz. Designers who developed projects in cooperation with MH and presented at events like Innovate UK and Comicon include Adam Burnham, Dipen Rai, Martin Shroeder and Venkat Shiva. The aim of the MH is to expose the students to so-called disruptive technologies. Disruptive are those technologies that challenge the obsoleteness of the existing building construction. Hence the new generations of learners play a key role, whilst conventional teaching models in the architecture field might respond to a potentially degenerative logic. This critical condition has led to the following question: What is the role of a teacher in a field in which the threshold concepts of the knowledge are so dramatically challenged by a global crisis? The MH offers the opportunity to reflect in general on teaching and support of learning and on the significance of knowledge in the integration of disruptive technology in the architecture studio, which is the focus of the learning activity planned for the MH. Among the academics, Alessandro Melis, Antonino Di Raimo, Guido Robazza and Fabiano Lemes have contributed to the foundation of MH and the success of its activities.

INTERNATIONAL PROGRAMMES ERASMUS It has been an active year with our Erasmus+ partnerships working to promote mobility across Europe. We have welcomed students, visiting academics and guest speakers to the School, and a growing number staff have also been involved in outgoing exchange. Through our partnerships we are building opportunities for our Architecture and Interior Architecture & Design students to study, work and participate in collaborative projects. We continue to increase the number of Erasmus+ mobility agreements with new partnerships this year. These enable the sharing of ideas, like collaborating on digital representation and advanced digital technologies with Università IUAV di Venezia, Italy. We have also visited potential partners at the National Technical University of Athens, Greece and TUDelft, Netherlands, to discuss opportunities. Our current mobility partners are: 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9.

INTERNATIONAL PROGRAMMES M.ARCH ARCHITECTURE AND URBANISM (GREECE) The M.Arch Architecture and Urbanism is offered at Metropolitan College Greece, as a franchise programme with the collaboration of Portsmouth School of Architecture. The course was launched in September 2015 and in March 2017 was unconditionally validated with RIBA II.

International MArch - Spyros Pavlidis, Eva Dima, Ifigenia. Katsioufi - TECHNE Group Project

The course offers opportunities to engage with contemporary and challenging projects informed by current social issues such as the Greek financial crisis and the influx of refugees. Through a range of architectural and theory-related 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, working on sites with challenges particular to the Greek historic, geographical and social landscape. This year’s M.Arch 1 site was titled “Between Nature And Urbanity: Identity and Sustainability of the Kifissos River in Nea Philadelphia”, located in the western suburb of Attica, Nea Philadelphia, along the river bank of Athens’ historical river, Kifissos. The area was named “podoniftis,” as traditionally travelers would wash their feet before arriving in Athens’ city centre. The historical development of the municipality as a residential settlement relates to the first migrant influx after the catastrophe of Asia Minor and Smyrni in 1922. Today the river is inaccessible to the public for most of its length and no longer seems to belong to the town. The studio focussed on the portion of the river that crosses the municipalities of Nea Philadelphia and Acharnae, where its undulating bed defines the residential settlements and the position and shape of other functions like a cemetery, the trolley station, and some industrial buildings. Notwithstanding, a large part is still at its natural stage, characterized by the presence of animal and plant species. The river acts as a linear urban element that connects different parts of the city and the selected areas to the rest of the city, towards the mountains and the sea. In a dense and often degraded urban environment that has a crucial lack of public and green spaces, the river has the potential to become the main element for an urban regeneration that could take into account sustainability, ecology and citizens’ rights to space. The project provided a great opportunity to research, analyse and create urban design proposals in the form of group Urban Strategy and Group Masterplans. This then led to individual student’s own interpretation of the site’s qualities, challenges and opportunities in a quest to re-introduce the site’s identity to the local community, as well as the identity of the metropolitan city.

International MArch - I. Katsioufi, A. Charizanis, A. Kavallari, E. Marmarou - Nea Philadelphia Masterplan

The M.Arch 2 requires the completion of the thesis project, which involves the development of a theoretical approach as well as a design that responds to specific site and thematic questions developed by each student. Thesis projects ranged from the design of an experiential museum for the Battle of Crete in Chania, a naval academy in Lavrio, a castle museum and promenade in Koroni, an Attica landscape exhibition scape in Tourkovounia and low-cost housing for refugees in Elaionas.

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 ten 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’) to consultancy projects focusing on detailed design 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 2017-2018 academic year has seen the Project Office undertake even more studentled design charrettes and workshops for ‘Live’ projects working with ‘Real’ clients which involve undergraduate and postgraduate students from the School of Architecture.

St Michael and All Angels Church, Paulsgrove, Portsmouth In March 2018, St Michael’s Church in Paulsgrove was awarded more than £400,000 from the Big Lottery Fund to create warm, welcoming spaces within its existing church building. The designs for this project, which originally began in 2015, were created by architecture and interior architecture and design students. The award came after the church listened to around 500 local residents to discover what they wanted to see in Paulsgrove. The feedback from locals was that people wanted better and more attractive facilities, where they could celebrate important events and showcase their community. The survey was part of the church’s three-year ‘Proud to be Paulsgrove’ campaign, which has included a local photography competition, community hog roasts and superhero activity days. The work to update the 60-year-old church building should then start in the autumn and be completed in 2019. The church has ambitious goals of reaching more than 1,000 residents in the first year, recruiting 100 new volunteers, and inspiring the creation of 10 new community groups. As this project continues in to the programming, tender and construction stages, the School of Architecture will continue to offer advice and support to the Diocese of Portsmouth.

Gosport Masonic Hall, Gosport The ambition of this four-day event was to work with the Freemasons at Gosport Masonic Hall to assist in the creation of a flexible community space for use by a wide range of local groups and charities, as well as for special events and other activities. The Freemasons were looking for imaginative and creative ideas for revitalising their existing community hall, making maximum use of the available space and providing a contemporary, inviting and accessible venue. The Clarence Road building occupied by the Gosport Freemasons has been in use since 1919 when it was acquired for that purpose from the Quakers, although there had been Freemasons in Gosport for centuries prior to this. The site is currently home to a number of local Freemasonry organisations including 8 Craft Lodges, three Royal Arch Chapters, two Mark Masters Lodges and a range of related bodies. The building houses both the Masonic Hall, used for Masonic business including meetings and ceremonies, and the Clarence Suite which offers an economic local venue for hire for events such as weddings, birthday celebrations and corporate functions. The large dining hall is also offered to disabled groups and other local charities at minimal cost or free of charge. This community space is now looking tired and in need of updating. Opportunities are also there to increase capacity and flexibility in order to accommodate a range of different groups and activities. The brief of this project was to redesign the existing hall to create an enhanced community facility. Undergraduate and postgraduate students from across the School of Architecture worked on this project during their Teaching Block 2 ‘Activity Week’.

ICP Reception Area Redesign, Design Charrette A design project for the remake of the Reception & Welcome Area of the International College Portsmouth brought together students from PSoA and ICP for a design charrette. The session was part of the wider ICP Taster Day in the Faculty of Creative and Cultural Industries. The main ambition of the design workshop was to come up with inspiring ideas for the redesign of the main ICP Reception and Welcome Area, a key space of the College, where students meet, find important information and interact with staff. The project, which was organised by the School of Architecture Project Office, was introduced by Senior Lecturer Roberto Braglia and the Director of ICP, Peter Venables. Students worked in small teams and generated a number of creative ideas ranging from re-organising the space with furniture to completely reconfiguring its layout. At the end of the session, all teams presented their work to the clients. The design proposals were then further developed and collated in a document that will support the ICP design team when redeveloping the reception plans.

Winchester Social Enterprise Booklet, ‘Launchpad: A Design Guide for Early Year Settings’ This project provided current students and staff with the opportunity of strengthening the close relationship that has developed over the past decade between the Church of England and the University of Portsmouth School of Architecture. This design guide, produced in little under one month by students from the Master of Architecture programme, was designed to fulfil the need to support local parishes in their engagement with early years with standards that are professional and excellent in the context of a Christian ethos, which is so appreciated in church schools and in a positive partnership with the local church. The production of this booklet allows the Diocese of Winchester to now go beyond minimum standards. The ‘Launchpad’ document is a starting point for conversations about particular sites that each bring their own challenges but also opportunities. It clearly sets out the commitments of the Diocese in design terms and hints towards standards in other areas.

RESEARCH

This year has seen a strong consolidation of the work of our research groups: Urban Futures, Architectural and Urban History and Theory, Cultural Heritage, and Pedagogical Research. The School is committed to the development of cross-disciplinary, original, significant, methodologically rigorous and effectively disseminated research of international standard, focused on our key distinctive strengths. In 2017 the University undertook an internal audit to gauge the strength of our research in light of the forthcoming Research Excellence Framework (REF). The audit evidenced that the School of Architecture has now (compared to 2014) more than doubled the number of staff engaged in research of international level and a growth of over 60% in the number of outputs of such quality. We have published a range of books, articles in internationally reputable journals, book chapters and conference papers. Furthermore, we strive for our work to have an impact on society. It is worth highlighting the growing power of our practice-based, as well as pedagogical, research. The School organised a ‘Research by Design’ symposium in June 2018, which will include presentations from four internationally renowned external guests and from our staff. Success with external research funding can be seen in projects such as CRUNCH: Climate Resilient Urban Nexus CHoices: operationalising the Food-Water- Energy Nexus, led by Prof. Steffen Lehman; FEW: Food Energy Water – Meter, whose principal investigator in the UK is Dr Silvio Caputo; the Newton Fund grants INSIGHT, led by Prof. Lehmann; and Re-naturing Cities: Theories, Strategies and Methodologies, led by Dr Fabiano Lemes. There is a clear trajectory upwards for our research and innovation activities, which we will keep building on to ensure that our work is of the highest quality and can bring positive changes to society.

The Cluster for Sustainable Cities: rethinking cities Co-Directors of the Cluster: Professor Steffen Lehmann (CCI) and Professor Mark Gaterell (Technology) The Innovation Cluster for Sustainable Cities brings together a group of over 40 researchers and key industry partners from different disciplines with an interest in resilient urban futures, promoting design and collaboration as a way to transform the built environment. Urbanisation is one of the defining processes of contemporary times, and our understanding of the urban, whether in theory or in practice, has reached a turning point. Cities in the UK and across the world are facing new complex and challenging conditions that require resilient and adaptive responses to the impacts of environmental and social change. It’s time to rethink cities for the age of global climate change. The Cluster for Sustainable Cities is guided by its Research & Innovation Agenda and transdisciplinary approach to scaling-up urban innovation for low-carbon living, working and mobility. We are excited about our research leading to innovation and new critical thinking about our urban futures. Our research interests span architecture, urban design, technology, engineering, geography and sustainability science with a strong focus on improving the environmental performance of buildings, neighbourhoods and communities, by introducing the concept of ‘integrated urban climate resilience’. We focus on new solutions for a low-carbon society, resilient development and urban well-being, and the integration of technologies to further optimise the resource-efficient city, including construction methods and enduser driven system integration. The issue of urban sustainability is of interdisciplinary nature and the development of our research agenda is a co-created effort of all society. Architects, planners, urban designers, geographers and engineers have a crucial role to play in developing strategies and adaptation solutions to ensure our cities are resilient, resource-efficient and sustainable in the face of intensifying global warming.

Portsmouth-led International Sustainable City Project: Rethinking cities for the age of global warming Lead PI: Professor Steffen Lehmann CRUNCH is an international project led by the University of Portsmouth’s Cluster for Sustainable Cities, with a funding value of 1.57 million euros. The “CRUNCH: Climate Resilient Urban Nexus CHoices: operationalising the FoodWater- Energy Nexus” project will help scientists, small and large businesses, cities, non-governmental organisations and local stakeholders to work together and develop integrated, cross-cutting approaches to food, water and energy management in cities. The NEXUS is a focal point that bundles a series of connections and links, such as a system of urban infrastructure. CRUNCH will help cities to solve the increasing challenges of food, water and energy management at the urban scale and strengthen liveability. The project has an integrated approach to facilitate decision-making and learning from city to city. Increasing demands for food, water and energy often exceed the capabilities of any one city, region or government. Combined with population growth and the expansion of cities, a collaborative and integrated approach is required to meet these future demands. The CRUNCH project investigates food, water and energy as one complex system, leading to increased knowledge and discoveries that cannot emerge when investigated separately in ‘silos’. It will combine an integrated Decision Support System and visualisation models with expert knowledge in waste, food, material flows, water and energy management and urban planning, architecture and urban governance. The international three-year project involves 19 partners from six countries and is funded in the UK by the ESRC, the AHRC and Innovate UK. The six participating municipalities are: Southend-on- Sea (UK), Eindhoven (Netherlands), Gdansk (Poland), Uppsala (Sweden), Miami (USA) and Taipei (Taiwan). The city of Glasgow is participating as Observer City. Each city will identify an urban area as testbed to develop an Urban Living Lab where Nexus rethinking of infrastructure can be tested. Key researchers from the University of Portsmouth include Professor Steffen Lehmann, Professor Djamila Ouelhadj, Dr Julia Brown and Dr Alessandro Melis.

British Council funded Researcher Links Workshop: International ‘INSIGHT’ Workshop on Urban Resilience in China Lead-PI: Professor Steffen Lehmann Under the Newton Fund Researcher Links scheme, the British Council and the University of Portsmouth’s Cluster for Sustainable Cities will be holding the interdisciplinary INSIGHT Workshop on the theme of urban resilience in Xi’an, China. The ‘INSIGHT’ workshop is a collaboration between the University of Portsmouth and Xi’an Jiaotong University with participation from 50 leading researchers from other institutions, including 20 early career researchers from across the UK. Co-funded by the British Council in the UK and by the National Natural Science Foundation of China (NSFC) with a total of £44.000, the aim of the 3-day workshop is to explore strategies of urban regeneration and sustainable communities’ leadership that will support integrated solutions for inclusive growth and urban resource-efficiency. The international workshop will be held from 27th to 29th June 2018. Key researchers from the University of Portsmouth include Prof Steffen Lehmann (who is currently Distinguished Visiting Professor at XJTU), Dr Alessandro Melis and Dr Silvio Caputo. The workshop is timely and highly relevant. In the last 25 years, China has experienced a phase of rapid urbanisation and has now entered a new era of urban development focused on urban regeneration of existing neighbourhoods and inclusive growth. This is a field in which UK researchers have much experience and a lot to contribute. The interdisciplinary workshop supports the required research knowledge and expertise to facilitate the transformative process required by Chinese cities. It also promotes the international exchange of knowledge and experiences around novel theories, strategies and methods on urban regeneration, applying integrated strategies for inclusive growth, resource-efficiency and urban resilience. Relevant municipal departments of the City of Xi’an will participate and benefit from the knowledge shared and generated for future public policy formulation and improved decision making. Xi’an has a population of nine million people and is the capital of Shaanxi province, located in the geographic centre of China. The Chinese partner university, Xi’an Jiaotong University is one of the oldest in China.

Disruptive Technologies: The introduction of in architecture teaching and radical projects for the future cities This book, edited by Alessandro Melis, Thomas Auer and Fabrizio Aimar, intends to examine the practice-based research experiences in the field of sustainability recorded by world-class practitioners, such as Thomas Auer/ Transsolar (one of the most influential climate engineering firms), Carlo Ratti (MIT), Marco Poletto/ EcologicStudio, Alessandro Melis (UoP), and Michael Davis (UoA) among others involved in architecture education as well. Contributors include several other academics from the University of Portsmouth: Martin Andrews, Rachael Brown, Antonino Di Raimo, Dario Pedrabissi, Tarek Teba and Antonio Lara Hernandez. The various chapters focus on integration between design and technology in architecture studios; on teaching methodologies; and on the use of case studies within the technology courses that constitute an impressive compendium of future technologies in architecture.

Research project: FEW-meter The FEW-meter project is an international research project funded under the Sustainable Urbanisation Global Initiative Fund. The UK team is led by Dr Silvio Caputo. The project aims at measuring the use of energy, water and organic waste for urban agriculture in five countries: the UK, Poland, Germany, France and the US. Data gathered through case studies will be analysed and used to build urban farming scenarios in five cities: London, Dortmund, Gorzow, Nantes and New York. These scenarios will also demonstrate the potential for production of food by using resources exclusively available in each city. As such, scenarios will be an invaluable tool for local authorities to plan development sustainably. The international consortium includes urban designers, agronomists, ecologists, geographers and policy experts who will look at how urban resources that are typically underutilised can be used in cities to grow food sustainably. The researchers aim to develop a robust evidence base for policy-makers, academics and urban farmers. The UK team comprises the University of Portsmouth’s School of Architecture, the Federation of City Farms and Community Gardens, and LEAP micro AD ltd, an enterprise producing small anaerobic digesters that can be installed in cities. Their investigation will include experiments on how to improve waste as a resource for food growing.

Re-naturing cities: Theories, Strategies and Methodologies A team led by Dr Fabiano Lemes organised the “Re-naturing cities: Theories, Strategies and Methodologies” workshop in Goiânia, Brazil in July 2017. Funded by the British Council and Fundação de Apoio à Pesquisa do Estado de Goiás (FAPEG), under the Newton Fund Researcher Links Programme, the workshop brought together policymakers and approximately 40 researchers from the UK and Brazil from a range of disciplines, such as urban ecology, town planning, biology, architecture, landscape planning and geography. The workshop was a forum for transnational synthesis of knowledge on the topic and generated valuable insights into how academics, planners and policymakers could apply this knowledge to their cities and regions. All selected participants, coordinators and tutors presented their research. These included speeches by the organisers (Fabiano Lemes de Oliveira on green wedges and Pedro Britto’s on the social side of sustainability), as well as talks on urban agriculture by Silvio Caputo, the ecology of green roofs by Heather Rumble and the blue space planning of Goiânia by Karla Emmanuela. There were eight research sessions: Planning Greener Cities; Urban and Environmental policy; GIS, Building Information Modelling (BIM) and City Information Modelling (CIM) for Re-naturing; Blue Spaces; Ecology and Biodiversity; Climate Change and Resilience; Perceptions, Health and Wellbeing; and Between Formal and Informal. Research sessions were complemented by development sessions on publishing and research methods, among others. Field trips informed participants of relevant case studies. A great strength of the workshop was the presence of representatives from the city of Goiânia. The various thematic groups prepared manifestos for re-naturing cities, which were then translated into spatial planning ideas for the city. Policymakers interacted and responded to the proposed strategies, which will inform the discussions for the revision of the Goiânia Masterplan. Dr Lemes and Dr Ian Mell, from the University of Manchester, are now in the process of producing a book (Planning Cities with Nature, publisher: Springer) which will include the main research outcomes from this project.

AALTO – UTZON – FEHN: Three paradigms of phenomenological architecture Roger Tyrrell with foreword by Juhani Pallasmaa

Published in March 2018, this book examines the work of three seminal Nordic architects – Alvar Aalto, Jørn Utzon and Sverre Fehn – from a phenomenological perspective, utilising the methodology of ‘paradigm’ (or ‘in the manner of’). Roger Tyrrell explains how the approach of each architect is defined by the three sub-frames of paradigm: that of the ‘origin’ (arche), that of ‘revealing’ (techne), and that of ‘the poetic conjunction’, to a holistic understanding of the experiential or phenomenological predisposition of the three architects. Using this method the author describes the commonalities and distinctive qualities of the architecture and design methods of Aalto, Utzon and Fehn. The final chapter projects the intellectual heritage of the three protagonists into the contemporary world, examining the work of practices from the UK, Norway and the US that each extend this particular way of making place.

Cultural Heritage Research Group: Museums, Heritage and Digital Creative Media Workshop Members of the Cultural Heritage Research Group organised a workshop to explore the use of digital creative media in museums and heritage contexts. Representatives from a wide range of museums and heritage organisations from around the region were invited to attend. Guest speakers from the Royal Pavilion and Museums, Brighton and Hove, and from digital media agency Cogapp opened up discussions about how digital media can support heritage interpretation and management. Following presentations by members of the group about their heritage research projects, guests were taken on tours of the Faculty’s digital media facilities. The event provided an opportunity to explore ideas for innovative collaborative projects between local heritage sites and specialists from the group.

A Guide for the Redevelopment of Underused Church Buildings This project is a 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 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 faith and community building projects more generally.

Matter of the Manor Matter of the Manor is an ongoing research project led by Belinda Mitchell and Karen Fielder investigating the overlaps between interior design and conservation practice. It focuses on ways of conceptualising historic interiors as unfinished sites of experience that are loaded with affective capacity. We have been using 16th century Wymering Manor in Cosham as a case study for developing our practice. This year we have been experimenting with the creation of tactile and poeticised images that document the ever-changing compositional events and material accumulations within the manor. The ‘drawings’ grew out of dialogues between ourselves, the community, the interior spaces and their materialities. Importantly, we allow these representations to unfold outside of our normative disciplinary gestures, so that our conversations are shaped through the material of our bodies, the staging of the house and its affective qualities.

Transdisciplinary Approaches to Combat Antibiotic Resistance. Dr Antonino Di Raimo participated in an interdisciplinary project between The University of Portsmouth and the International University of Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam. This Key Action ‘is all about providing opportunities for individuals to improve their skills, enhance their employability and gain cultural awareness.’ The project has been supporting members of staff from each institution to visit the partner country to build capacity for research and development of low-tech, frugal innovations to combat antibiotic resistance, and, importantly, effective tools for public engagement and dissemination. Dr Di Raimo gave lectures and led a workshop highlighting the value of the human body as a vector for pathologies within an architectural environment.

Practice-based Research: Stella Maris institute This practice-based research output is the winning entry of a two-stage international competition that has involved world class architects. Its highly experimental and researchoriented design has been coordinated by Alessandro Melis in partnership with his practice, Heliopolis 21, and his partners, Gian Luigi Melis and Nico Panizzi, The cost of the work is 11 million Euros with an expected completion date of 2020. The complex includes a cutting-edge hospital for 1700 patients per year and a research centre for children neuropathologies, such as the Autism, surrounded by a park. It will be the only Italian hospital with this specific vocation. Its star-shaped configuration and its parametric spiral façade are a novelty for this type of architectural use.

Practice-based Research: Riva del Garda Sports Hall, Trentino (Italy) The sports hall object of the present practice-based research output is part of the complex of the Riva Del Garda Exhibition Fair (40,000 sqm). The project is the winning entry of an international competition that included, among the shortlisted, internationally recognised practices such as Wilkinson Eyre, Nicholas Grimshaw, Arup and Mecanoo. Alessandro Melis, Gian Luigi Melis and Nico Panizzi of Heliopolis 21 lead the design team that includes the world-class firm Coop Himmelb(l)au. According to Governor Dellai the project is one of the most important works of the Trentino Region, together with Renzo Piano’s Muse.

Practice-based Research: Ex-Guidotti Institute, University of Pisa (Italy) The Ex-Guidotti institute is a 3000 sqm university complex including a large vestibule, two separate wings for labs and classrooms and a lecture theatre for 200 people. Its construction started in 2018, and in May the main structures were completed. The novelty of this practice-based research output is the highly sustainable, and probably unique, mixed geothermal system, the consequence of sophisticated calculations (in collaboration with the Geology Department of the University of Pisa) due to the risk of destabilization of the famous leaning tower nearby. The structural technology, based on a cast-in-place reinforced concrete load-bearing walls is the response to the high seismicity of the site. The design team, led by Alessandro Melis, Gian Luigi Melis and Nico Panizzi (Heliopolis 21) has been done in cooperation with the Swiss world-class firm Diener & Diener.

Practice-based Research: Fonte Mazzola, cultural park and multipurpose centre in Peccioli (Italy) The object of the present practice-based research output is a building, now under construction, dedicated to several cultural activities, including a school of music, a library and an exhibition collection donated by the City Council. It is part of a new cultural park that includes an outdoor theatre and an extensive park. The design, led by Alessandro Melis, Gian Luigi Melis, and Nico Panizzi, aims at replacing the volume of the existing decaying farmhouse and also includes a new extension to support the theatre activities (music rehearsal, catering room and event space). The design is oriented to a sustainable approach, and it is one of the first in the territory to be based on cross-laminated timber. The outdoor spaces are designed to allow several leisure activities. The materials have been chosen according to conservation purposes, in consideration of the landscape and monumental qualities of the site.

Practice-based Research: library and lecture theatre of the University of Sant’Anna, Pisa (Italy) The object of this practice-based research output is the refunctionalization of the monumental spaces of the fourteenth century convent and the lecture theatre of the University of Sant’Anna, a world-leading institution for the research in the field of biotechnology. The importance of the intervention was marked by the inauguration in 2017 of the new conference room by the Italian president, Sergio Mattarella, who gave a speech for the opening of the Italian academic year, the same day of the inauguration of the new spaces designed by Alessandro Melis, Gian Luigi Melis and Nico Panizzi.
