SCALE - 1 : 5

The Canterbury School of Architecture (CSA) is situated within the University for the Creative Arts (UCA), a leading specialist university that offers courses from pre-degree Art Foundation to PhD research in its Art, Design & Media disciplines. Our founding colleges and campuses at Canterbury, Epsom, Farnham, Maidstone and Rochester have a history dating back to 1866. Our courses in Architecture, Interiors and Design for Performance, Theatre & Film are located at our campuses in Canterbury, Farnham Rochester where students benefit from generous and dedicated purpose-built studios and a range of specialist technical workshops, library collections and exhibition spaces.

Our School has developed a distinctive approach to architectural and spatial design education and research that is informed by its rich Art School heritage. In particular we emphasise activist models of teaching, learning and research; cultures of thinking and making that synthesise traditional techniques with advanced digital media and workflows: and a pedagogic culture that situates imaginative futures in clearly articulated critical understandings of the present. All of our activities consciously face outwards to the world and engage diverse audiences through exhibitions, publications, collaborations and a strong public programme of lectures and events.

Our School is a laboratory for architecture and spatial design. We explore the potentials of our disciplines through individual and collective actions and agency. This requires a commitment on the part of our students and staff to take positions in relation to the contemporary condition of the city and society, to take responsibility for its transformation and ultimately to take action. This activist approach informs all of the design projects that we set for our students, demanding that they take responsibility for aspects of the projects objectives and aims, their development and trajectory and ultimately their dissemination and use. We share this mind-set with the wider community of artists, designers and designer-makers at UCA where there is a strong tradition of valuing professional and creative practice and agency. This Art School tradition makes the Canterbury School of Architecture an ideal place for the exploration and production of ideas as things.

Contemporary interior practice demands designers who are versatile, with innovative and technically-advanced design skills that enable them to work with challenging locations, programmatic requirements and multiple media. To prepare you for this demanding marketplace, we focus on creative design practice that is critical, ambitious and interdisciplinary.

Our course explores the design and construction of interior space in relation to an existing architectural and urban framework. Students undertake projects in a dynamic and collaborative studio environment that promotes the conceptual, experimental and practical skills that are required of a professional interior designer.

You study complex architectural spaces and environments and are encouraged to explore critical issues in contemporary design, gaining the ability to not only react to design opportunities, but to become responsible for creating them.

In Stage One students are introduced to some fundamental skills, processes and issues that are relevant throughout their professional lives. The structure of the course consists of three Design Studio Projects, which are supported by specialist units: Cultural Context, Technology and Communication.

In the first term the focus is on design in relation to the human body.

Projects 01 / Bodyscape_a / Wearable ArchitectureBodyscape A introduces ways of understanding the relationships between the human body and the built environment. The project culminates in the design of a piece of full-scale wearable architecture influenced by site and body, which the students test in Canterbury City Centre. Projects 01 / Bodyscape_b / Architectural GraftWith horticulture as a point of departure, Canterbury Cathedral became the ‘host’, onto which the students proposed the design of a graft that had to function as a mediator between the visitor and the Cathedral, and drawing their attentions to, as Viollet-Le-Duc suggests, the ‘anatomy’, ‘idiosyncrasies’ and ‘temperament’ of the Cathedral.

In terms two and three the major design project, Synoptic, considers the relationships between architectural space, time and programme.

Projects 2 / Synoptic / All Gone MargateThis project required students to investigate the complex issues associated with coastal town regeneration, in an effort to develop a design proposal that could contribute to the long-term regeneration of Margate.

Either through the ‘adaptive reuse’ of an existing building on Margate High Street for the Interior Architecture and Design students, or a new building on the Harbour Arm for the Architecture students; this project focuses on the development of a design that can accommodate a live/work space for a skilled professional (long-term occupant), temporary accommodation for an apprentice (local resident) and a public space for both the professional and apprentice to interact with other members of the local community and tourists.

DESPITE EFFICIENCY /

THE

MYSTERIOUS

FISH

神秘的な魚

A live build project in collaboration with Aberrant Architecture. This brief challenged the students as a year group to design and build a 1:1 installation functioning as an interactive exhibition space to augment the experience of the programmed exhibition in the Herbert Read Gallery on site at UCA. The Despite Efficiency exhibition explored the theme of contemporary labour through film and performance and the installation followed suit by offering a response to the typical interior building type of the open plan office.

The installation comprised an off the shelf suspended ceiling system installed at a lowered height of 1.5 metres, interrupted at points by modular wooden viewing rooms installed above the ceiling level. Because of the low level of the ceiling the user was encouraged to make use of one of several office chairs made available in the room, so the user could use the chair to move to the location of a viewing room and then stand to view the film housed in the space. There were also gaps in the ceiling to offer opportunities to view the outside of the wooden rooms on which were mounted laser cut relief panels, designed by each student to show aspects of the development of the workplace from the Industrial Revolution, to the contemporary period and into the future.

ADAPTIVE RE-USE / The Adaptive Reuse project explores the opportunities and challenges of designing a transformative space that combines the dual programming of a labour and a leisure activity through the interior remodelling of an existing building in East London.

The project offered an opportunity to explore the challenges of making extensive change to the interior arrangement and programming of an existing building whilst having to take a position on the extent of retention of the existing fabric, structure and heritage items to implement a light touch scheme, or extensive interior remodelling. The reprogramming of the sites allowed the proposal of contrasting types of human praxis to be co-exist and different aspects of labour and leisure, front of house/back of house, time-based programming and spatial flexibility to be explored.

In Stage Three, students collaborated and participated with MA Architecture and Hanif Kara of AKT2 Engineers in the construction of a full scale pavilion on the lawn outside CSA

As part of an extended workshop you will competitively prepare design proposals for the assembly of a series of geometric building blocks into a novel structure. These will be reviewed and critiqued and a final proposal selected. Subsequently you will work with other members of the architecture department and the wider university to construct this proposal by the workshop finale.

The intervention was designed for Rolling Stones drummer Charlie Watts and actress Dame Judi Dench to fit in the heart of the Soane Museum, the dome area, where below the sarcophagus was installed. Through researching the two guests and finding out their similarities and interests a gambling den was designed for them to sleep and live in throughout the duration of the three day party.



THE SOANE INTERVENTION /

Samantha She Wei Chan

An extraordinary puppet fashion show was designed in two levels of spatial intervention at the Library of Soane’s Museum. The show is performed by

Charlie Watts with his drumming skill and Vivienne Westwood with her fashion designer’s talent. It’s attached with a portable puppet booth for

Charlie to perform throughout the museum. Performance & working are taking place at bottom level while changing of clothes and resting on the

upper level.

Brief:The trustees of the John Soane Museum have decided to hold a three day party to celebrate the 190th anniversary of the arrival of the sarcophagus. Numerous luminaries from contemporary arts, politics and media culture have been invited.

Students have been commissioned to design a spatial intervention that will accommodate two of these individuals at a specific location within the building. A secondary section of the proposal must also be refined into a portable device that can be deployed to multiple locations elsewhere in the museum.

The design proposal includes a herb shop on the ground floor which opens up onto the street. The large barn like door includes plant shelves, which when open, form a street display. As well as this a herb plant shelving stand can be pulled out onto the pavement in-order to attract passers by. The herbs will be dried and prepared on the second floor where they will be brewed into herbal tea. The tea will be connected to copper pipes, which will send the tea on a journey to the first floor where people can help themselves and enjoy the aromatic tea.

THEBL-NKPROJECT /

Brief:For Stage Three major project, students were aimed to shadow a live project. This was the BL-NK space refurbishment project for the London Borough of Hackney. ‘BL-NK_1’ was a temporary ‘urban-space’ venue at the heart of Shoreditch, East London. It existed from September 2013 until late 2014 and provided a ‘hub’ for showcasing and encouraging inward investment for Hackney and East London businesses and other local initiatives

A retail + office space is proposed for the BL-NK project located in Shoreditch, an inner city district in the historic East End of London. The building is split into two visible zones, with the ground floor retail opened for public access, first and second

floor online retailer studio for occasional guests and private staff. The concept of the retail space is to showcase various independent fashion labels. Individual

pop-up booths were designed to house respective labels for a period of time. The void from the first floor created an impression of a double volume space and

strongly established the relationship of studio and offices.

The design proposal inludes the idea of traditional trading market idea with stalls for digital technology designers for

product launcht & startup businesses. Liftable digital market stalls were designed to create multi-functional space for work-

shop & seminar use. While trading market on the first floor and workspaces on the second floor.

The axonometric diagram demonstrates the entirety of the proposals for the BL-NK project. It clearly defined the materiality and design language such as colour and way finding throughout the building. Notable key design elements of the proposal were ‘detached’ away from the building to help narrate functions of the space

The three chosen communities for the project were a chair refurbisher, photographer and a

local business woman. The design strongly reflects the branding of the company. The

majority of the furniture, fittings and decoration is based on the stripes and bold colours of the

companies logo.
