BSc Architecture Design Technology (ADT

BSc (Hons) Architectural Design Technology (ADT) programme has gone through some exciting and yet challenging times this year. With the closure of the university campus in March 2020, due to the Covid-19 pandemic, the ADT team worked swiftly to move to online teaching and tutorials. Many students found the online teaching an existing and flexible approach and achieved high quality works. We are indeed proud of our students’ achievements in such challenging times.

We have been very keen on developing the subject specific knowledge and employability skills to support our students who aspire for a rewarding career in this field. The students have had an all-round experience from working on their design projects in studio, to field trips to major developments under construction in London. This year, we also organised a study trip to the UAE. The trip was an eye-opening experience to the students as it facilitated visits to many significant projects including The Harbour View, Opera House and Burj Khalifa in Dubai; and Masdar City, Sheikh Zayed Mosque and Louvre Museum in Abu Dhabi.

We keep working closely with the industry and the Chartered Institute of Architectural Technologists (CIAT) to improve the quality of our course and provide employment opportunities to our students. Indeed, last year we achieved a 100% employability rate for our students and were also ranked the 1st in London for Student Satisfaction according to the Complete University Guide. Moreover, every year, our outstanding students receive awards and medals from our main accreditation body CIAT. This year we also initiated the T-Coffee social events where ADT students can regularly meet with their peers and tutors outside the classroom, develop their networks, and listen to short presentation and interviews with professionals in the industry. We continue working with the accreditation bodies and the industry as well as with our students and alumni to continuously improve the quality of the ADT course.

The ADT yearbook section is organised into two sections; Technical Studies and Representation (years 1, 2 and 3), followed by Architectural Design Resolution (years 2 and 3).

Technical Studies and Representation

ALFONSO SENATORE, ARMAN HASHEMI, NIALL HEALY, SHAHROKH ZANDI

In Year 1 ADT, we worked on a small-scale building design exploring the associated main architectural technologies along with environmental design principles, their application and the principal technical issues. We developed practical experience, technical and computer-aided skills and produced a set of CAD drawings (plans, cross section, elevations) at 1:100 scale followed by a series of fully annotated technical details at 1:10 scale related to small-scale masonry building.

During Term 1, in Year 2 ADT, we explored masonry and timber frame building techniques, building physics, environmental design, building cladding systems, structure and construction detailing, We critically analyse an existing housing development located in The Netherlands, designed by renowned architecture firm MVRDV. The investigation of the architectural precedent aimed to develop our technical understanding of a small residential structure, building materials, construction processes, sustainability and technical details.

In Year 3 ADT, we analysed 4 iconic buildings such as Paxton’s Crystal Palace, Grimshaw’s Financial Times PrintWorks, Rogers Stirk Harbour + Partners’ Madrid-Barajas Airport Terminal 4, and RPBW’s The Shard, with particular focus on the architectural technology related aspects. This exercise offered the opportunity to further strengthen our knowledge on complex structural systems, construction process, building facades systems.

During Term 2, in Year 2 and 3 ADT, we produced a comprehensive building study aimed at setting up structural, material and façade conceptual strategies, as well as environmental and sustainability strategy for our Final Design Project for the Silvertown Regeneration Royal Docks, in London, which was developed within the Architectural Design module. A complete set of technical drawings, including fully annotated construction drawings at 1:10 scale were produced as part of the TS building report.

As part of our technical investigations, we were also required to demonstrate compliance of our design proposal with relevant UK Building Regulations. The latter gave us the opportunity to gather an in-depth understanding and knowledge of current regulations.

Architectural Design Resolution

DR. HEBA ELSHARKAWY, DR. HAITHAM FAROUK

In Year 2 and 3 ADT, we worked closely with Newham Council as a client, on a live project; Silvertown Regeneration Royal Docks, London, consisting of a waterfront café and 24 one-bedroom and twobedroom flats (year 2) Leisure Centre, and a waterfront café (year 3). We undertook site surveys, case study research, climate and site analysis and capacity studies to understand how the design could provide the facilities needed within the design brief. Within our technical design proposals, we tackled key strategic questions; what could be the most effective building form and fabric for the chosen site (environmentally and economically)? What are the priorities for building users’ health, comfort and wellbeing? How can the design comply with the Building Regulations?

Silvertown is at the heart of the regeneration of the Royal Docks and will deliver a new, mixed-use neighbourhood including homes, offices and jobs alongside retail, leisure, brand, community and cultural uses. Silvertown development (estimated value of £3.5 billion) aims to provide commercial space (shops, restaurants, cafes) as well as bolster the capital’s affordable housing stock. The overarching objective is to support Silvertown in achieving sustainable economic growth, vibrant communities, and a healthy environment for healthy people.

We had two great events to help us learn more about the Chartered Institute of Architectural Technologists (CIAT) and our profession. The first event was a CIAT-RIBA joint event organised to get us and students studying architecture to learn more about future careers in both disciplines. Twelve RIBA and CIAT professionals talked to us about their personal learning journey and work experience starting from architectural assistant position to directors. The second event was an alumni event where two 2019 BSc ADT graduates working as full-time architectural technologists at Bond Bryan visited us. We had the opportunity to host lead architects from practises as AHMM, RCKa studios where we learned about several of their major design projects and gained insight into leisure centre design.
