YEAR 5 - APPRENTICES
The MArch program is designed to help students develop an architect’s critical and creative thinking to push their imagination past the boundaries.
These students have completed their first year of master’s in architecture whilst working full time, which alone is an outstanding achievement. Being pushed to excel both in university and at work, the specific program allows students to be in an intellectually stimulating environment where they constantly have to adapt.
This academic year, the students carried out the research of their choice, which tended to support the work done in their practices. They also completed their design studio module, based in London or Nottingham and, alongside this completed technical reports.
Each student has excelled this year and has found a balance between the working and studying life.

SCULPTURE IN ARCHITECTURE
Students took part in a clay modelling workshop led by Rodney Harris. As a professional sculptor, Harris has been commissioned to design many public sculptures which manipulate the relief of brickwork. The workshop began with a series of exercises which invited students to explore the capabilities and test the limits of the clay medium. This included moulding an elephant behind their backs, building the tallest clay tower in small teams, and sculpting a place they would like to visit. Following this, students explored the memory and iconography of their site or building, turning this into a piece of sculpture which would be proposed as part of their studio scheme.

Residential development for homeless youth, with hydroponic and urban growing brief
Location : Old Kent Road, London
Working with the existing homeless shelter organization ‘Centrepoint’ the project proposes a residential development for homeless youth within London. The hydroponic and green intervention within the scheme will provide a skill building activity for the residents whilst also providing a sustainable source of urban farming for the users and surrounding community. The project references precedent from existing homeless developments in efforts to create the most considerate design for vulnerable users.

THE WASTE LAB CENTRE
The UK is under increasing pressures to find new ways of recycling waste and the push for a circular economy has never been stronger.
Therefore the Waste Lab Centre will partner with the local Southwark waste facility to embed circular principles in the local economy. It is intended the the centre will be an innovative hub for collecting, sorting, re-making and selling products that would otherwise be sent to landfill. Interactive workshops and exhbitions will also be hosted to educate the community about their role in creating a successful circular enconomy.
