Rikki and Derek have both been
involved with Design Reviews at the Architecture Department,
University of Strathclyde this month.
Rikki was invited to guest on the
review panels for the 3rd Year Urban Housing Project,
which challenged students to develop masterplan and detail design
proposals for medium density housing in the East End of Glasgow.
The project forms a significant portion of the RIBA Assessment
Criteria for the Part 1 exemption and submission requirements
included structural principles, strategic, environmental solutions
and architectural space making.
Derek, in his role as Studio Design
Tutor, reviewed the 1st Year "Room with a View"
project which encourages students to consider a single volume space
with a direct link to its rural context brought about by the
creation of a specific aperture and resultant view. This project
was presented as the main focus of an Exhibition of the full
portfolio of Semester 1 work.
