Welcome to the first Yearbook of

the INTO Newcastle University
Architecture
programme!
It
celebrates both the creative output
of our recent students and the
quality of teaching provided by our
highly motivated and professional
team. Browsing through the
pages, it is immediately apparent
that the range and quality of work
is both striking and to a highly
commendable standard, especially
as we consider the dense
schedule of teaching activities and
assignments the students have
to manage throughout the two
semesters.

exerting influence on contemporary

society. Globalisation is such a
force. It is a term which, particularly
since the emergence of the internet,
has become deeply established in
ways we possibly couldnt foresee
just two or three decades ago. It
provides great opportunities, yet
simultaneously creates complex
social, cultural and economic
challenges.
In the architectural profession,
international experience matters
more than ever before. Todays
architectural student needs to
understand the diverse contexts
and operations of architecture,
and to embrace the opportunity to
rediscover and reinterpret cultural
traditions in the light of dramatic
global and technological change.
This is what our programme
attempts to deliver across its three
pathways.

this past year achieved some of the

highest grades in the programmes
five year history.

experienced architecture
teaching team

The Foundation, the longest running

pathway on our programme, is an
excellently balanced introduction.
Students benefit greatly from
an unencumbered start, free
from
misconceptions
and
prescribed outcomes. The course
is comprehensive and deep,
providing an effectual foundation
for a career in architecture, and
developing skills that often reach
the
sophisticated
standards
more typical of an undergraduate
degrees first year. Indeed, students

The Diploma (renamed the

International Year One from
September 2016) experienced
its second intake this past year.
Once again, the students showed
a very confident performance
overall, employing the wide
range of practical and cognitive
skills necessary to master two
rather
complex
architectural
design projects. Students applied
theoretical and spatial concepts
whilst analysing and considering
clients needs, and learned to
respond to urban, historical
and
topographical
contexts.
Some of the best work exceeds
expectations for this level of study.
For students on the Graduate
Diploma
(Pre-Masters),
the
challenges are even higher as they
often have to revise their working
and study methods shaped by
previous educational experience.
This year, the work ethic and
commitment shown by students

was exemplary, improving the

quality of their output significantly.
The two major design projects
continued to become more finelytuned to the students various
educational backgrounds and
potential progression routes, such
as landscape architecture and
urban design.
In conclusion, the 2015/16
Yearbook is a demonstration of

what our students are capable of:

inspired, creative design output
combined with a professional and
mature attitude and work ethic. It
also reflects the tremendous efforts
of our teaching team, who never
ceased to encourage and support
their students. We congratulate all
of our students for passing their
respective pathways, and wish
them continued success in their
future studies and careers.

Semester 1 introduces students

to the foundational elements of
architecture
through
lectures,
seminars, workshops, study trips
and two main design projects.
The conveyed content is designed
to stimulate an active interest in
the subject of architecture and to
strengthen relevant skills such as
sketching, drawing, model-making
and creative thinking. By the end of
the semester, students have begun
to develop a general understanding
of the language of architectural
design.
Semester 2 provides students with
the opportunity to transform and
merge their theoretical knowledge
and creativity through a smallscale, yet challenging, architectural

design project, learning to consider

the environmental, social and
cultural implications of architectural
intervention. The principles of
basic construction methods are
introduced, and students gain
a deeper understanding of how
buildings are physically made.
Workshops and tutorials provide
guidance and support as they
continue to develop their personal
design language and refine their
communication and presentation
skills.
Throughout the course, students
are required to critically analyse,
research, record and reflect upon
their new architectural knowledge
as it develops. The primary means
for documenting this is through
the consistent use of sketchbooks
and accumulation of development
material. At the end of the course,
having worked through a variety
of tasks and projects, students
produce a final portfolio which
demonstrates the general skills
and knowledge required for further
study.

Design Project #1 Layering

students experiencing
their first design review

Buildings consist of many layers,

whether
physical,
social
or
historical. Each layer, to some
extent, helps to reveal or conceal
identity. Materially, some layers are
very thin and fragile. Others have
greater thickness and depth. Some
are transparent or translucent.
Others are opaque. Some are
patterned. Others are plain. It is
the combination and juxtaposition
of such qualities which helps make
architectural form so exciting.

In this project, students are tasked

to produce a visually stimulating,
abstract
composition
which
explores a language of layering
as described above. They can
use any combination of graphical
and craft techniques they feel
are appropriate to their concept.
Although many find it challenging,
this first design project ultimately
helps the students to work more
creatively, and increases their
sensitivity to the richness of surface
and materiality.
Design Project #2 Cube
The architectural design process
often begins with a qualitative
exploration of space and volume.
This project introduces students to
the key considerations of such an
exercise, using the initial simplicity
of the geometric cube as a starting
point, and focusing on potential
spatial qualities inherent in both
simple and complex forms and
volumes.
In considering the factors which
influence
spatial
ambience,

students are encouraged to

explore a range of reciprocal
qualities such as light/shadow,
solid/void, rough/smooth, wide/
narrow, open/restricted, high/low,
etc. Careful composition of such
qualities create interesting and
stimulating spaces and rhythms,
perceptions of harmony or tension
which can trigger our emotions and
imagination.
Design Project #3 Intervention
Architecture may be understood
as a physical response to a given
context and project brief. Any new
building requires a considered
understanding of the context in
which it intervenes and also implies
a dialogue that is developed and
explored between the context and
the new entity. In this regard, good
architecture of any scale should
enrich or intensify an individuals
experience of the immediate
surroundings in which it is located,
and must form a specific and
developed dialogue with place.
For this project, students are

required to design a small structure

which responds to the physical and
social context of a site, and provides
a simple function suggested by the
specifics of that context. Through
both subjective and objective
approaches, a chosen site is
analysed and explored, revealing
unique qualities and prompting
a specific response. Students
develop this initial response into
a design concept, and eventually
into a small architectural proposal,
represented through orthographic
drawing and model-making.

The International Year One in
Architecture focuses on the
enhancement of architectural
design and theoretical knowledge,
with
a
particular
emphasis
on
contextualisation.
Upon
successful completion, students
may gain direct entry to year two
of an undergraduate degree at
Newcastle University - principally
the ARB accredited and RIBA
validated degree programme.

drawing and model-making.

The initial weeks of the programme

comprise a series of design tasks,
or charrettes, which introduce
students to the iterative cycle
of the design process based on
investigation, analysis, synthesis
and practical realisation, whilst
encouraging students to get to
know one another and to foster an
open studio culture. For tutors it
provides an opportunity to identify
individual students strengths and
weaknesses acquired from their
prior experiences. This information
is used to tailor much of the early
teaching with a focus on the
consolidation and refinement of
core skills such as sketching,

By the end of the semester,

students can methodically analyse
and interpret complex design
briefs, research and analyse user
requirements, and apply specific
regulations and technological
standards.

Throughout semester 1, students

are supported in making individual
and informed design decisions
relating to small design projects
by means of one-to-one tutorials.
They are also taught how to
effectively
communicate
and
present their development and
design proposals to an audience of
fellow students and professionals.

Semester 2 aims to further

develop design skills and deepen
architectural understanding by
means of a comprehensive,
yet still small-scale, design
project. Students are required
to demonstrate a practical
understanding of materials and
construction methods, and are
introduced to computer-aided

design software.
By the end of the academic year,
students have developed an
accomplished architectural design
project from sketch design to
technical detail.

testing of structures charrette

across all three pathways

As at foundation and graduate

diploma level, students are
required to critically analyse,
research, record and reflect upon
their new architectural knowledge
throughout the course of the
academic year. This is initially
documented through the use of
sketchbooks and development

material, and culminates in a

professionally presented portfolio
which demonstrates competencies
required for further study. Students
are assisted in this task and receive
input on specialist graphics editing
and desktop publishing software.
Design Project #1 [A Room]
Beyond the Frame
Modelled on a long-running design
project at Newcastle Universitys
School of Architecture, Planning
and Landscape, the project
focuses on ordinary domestic

interiors depicted by Pieter de

Hooch in Holland during the latter
half of the seventeenth century.
Students begin by observing,
drawing and modelling the area of
the house depicted in their chosen
painting, before designing a new
room beyond it.
Whilst all methods of design
development
are
welcomed,
students are especially encouraged
to work with study models as
they facilitate the testing of threedimensional spaces and enable
speedy alterations.
Design Project #2 Start-up
Residence
The Lower Ouseburn Valley,
currently undergoing an extensive
redevelopment,
provides
a
stimulating background to reinvent
and reintroduce terraced buildings.
Students are tasked with designing
a start-up residence for three
young, creative entrepreneurs - a
photographer, pottery artist and
music producer. The assumed

clients respond to the existing

economic structure and culture
of the creative small businesses
located in the Ouseburn valley.
The siting of the housing demands
consideration
of
daylighting,
wind, aspect, privacy, outlook
and surveillance, whilst the mixed
use programme - involving three
different disciplines - presents
challenges with the division of
public and private space, the need
for flexibility and adaptability, as
well as an economic construction.

The
International
Graduate
Diploma in Architecture aims to
prepare international students for
postgraduate architectural studies
at Newcastle University or, should
they wish, elsewhere in the UK.
Students come from an array of
different educational backgrounds,
both design and non-design
related. As a result, much of the
semester 1 teaching focuses
on improvement and refinement
of core architectural skills by
means of small design projects
encompassing architecture, urban
and landscape design disciplines.
Semester 2 provides an opportunity
to consolidate and expand on
acquired skills and knowledge
through a comprehensive design
project. Students are encouraged
to experiment, explore and
develop their own architectural
design philosophy by applying an
interdisciplinary, holistic approach
towards urban design.

Design Project #1 - The BalticSage Link

This project introduces students
to the idea of designing an
architectural journey between
two landmark buildings on the
Gateshead Quayside - The
Sage Gateshead and The Baltic
Centre for Contemporary Art.
The challenge for students is to
develop an inspiring public space
proposal which improves not just
the functionality but also addresses
the specific qualities of the context.
Design Project #2 - Manors
Bicycle Interchange
This design project a bicycle
interchange - is intended to foster
a holistic and contextual design
approach including environmental,
infrastructural and sociological
considerations. It encourages
students to make well-informed,
research-driven and context based
design decisions.

us various situations how a cyclist might be
interrupted while commuting if one does not
prepare carefully.
Storyboard contributes to understanding what
are the basic needs and requirements for
cyclist and what a person should know before
starting cycling.

The storyboard considers different aspects of the

commuting routine. It is about a beginner cyclist who
is excited about starting commuting by bicycle. He
gets up early in the morning as he needs more time to
go to work .Although, it appears to be an unpleasant
experience for him. Four days in a row he was facing
different problems and was unable to reach his office.

Extra-Curricular Activities

As well as undertaking their

respective programme of study,
all students are encouraged to
establish and pursue their own
independent architectural interests.
In order to assist with such, each
programme runs four study trips
per academic year - many of which
are cross-pathway and therefore
fosters dialogue between students.
This year students undertook
visits to West Yorkshire (Hepworth
Gallery and Yorkshire Sculpture
Park), Manchester, Edinburgh,
Middlesbrough
and
Peterlee
(MIMA, Middlehaven and Apollo
Pavilion) and Durham (UNESCO
World Heritage Site.
The trips are always met with
enthusiasm and are often referred
to in final reviews as a source of
inspiration, as well as informing
output in supporting modules.
Additionally,

many

students

choose to take advantage of

Newcastles convenient location
to visit the vibrant seaside towns
of Whitley Bay and Tynemouth known for their beaches, surf, fish
and chips and real ale - as well
as the Northumberland National
Park - home to an array of flora
and fauna, historic hill forts and the
188-km-long Hadrians Wall.
Independent of the architecture
pathways,
INTO
Newcastle
University runs a social programme
throughout the academic year.
Destinations include Alton Towers,
Alnwick (castle and gardens),
Liverpool and Lake District (Keswick
and
Bowness-on-Windermere).
Students are encouraged to attend
these as they look to balance their
studies with leisure pursuits.
The following images document
the broad range of extra-cirricular
activities undertaken during the
course of the 2015-16 academic
year.

INTO Newcastle University Architecture Alumni

We take an equally keen interest

in our students once they depart
INTO
Newcastle
University,
whether theyre destined for
Newcastle University or elsewhere.
This year, we achieved a
85% progression rate from
our
International
Foundation
programme. We achieved 80%
and 90% progression rates on
our International Year One and
International Graduate Diploma
respectively.
Owing to the close links between
INTO Newcastle University and the
School of Architecture, Planning
and Landscape we regularly get an
opportunity to see our students
output including tutors sitting-in on
final reviews.
In the past former students
have also gone on to study at
intititutions such as Barlett School
of Architecture (University College
London), Architectural Association
(AA) and University of Edinburgh.

Additionally, we have an increasing

number of alumni who have been
successful in securing employment
in architectural practice and
related disciplines, following the
conclusion of their studies.
The following pages document
some of our recent alumni,
including personal reflection and
samples of their continued studies.
Amongst this years BA (Hons)
Architecture
graduates,
Allan
Chong - an INTO alumni was nominated for the RIBA
Presidents Medal.
There are
three RIBA students awards Bronze at undergraduate, Silver at
postgraduate and the Dissertation
Award for best dissertation
across both undergraduate and
postgraduate. Collectively, theyre
regarded as the most prestigious
international awards in architectural
education.
We are proud of the achievements
of all our alumni.

As Thomas Kempis said The

loftier the bulding, the deeper must
the foundation be laid. Being an
architecture student shares the
same theory. The more you learn building up the complexity of your
architecture knowledge - the more
you need to handle. A stronger
foundation is what you need.

Architecture has been an unforgettable
educational experience. The tutors provide
plenty of support, making it a very welcoming
and comfortable environment to work in.
