Open to all from 12pm onwards at the Keith Green Building, Hewson Building and MArch Studios, the show offers an insight into student work at all levels of scale and complexity, focusing on their main design projects but supplemented with supporting work.
Please start your visit at the Keith Green Building.
In their first year, students focus on the theme of ‘Identity’ with the ‘Home’ project, which requires them to design an integrated home/workshop for a fictional individual of their own invention. In year two, students scale up and explore the theme of ‘Community’ via the ‘Exclusion/Inclusion in the City’ project, where they design a library and community centre for the city of Hartlepool with the aim of galvanising social engagement.
In their final year, students explore the theme of ‘Diversity’. Here, the students are given the freedom to explore projects that matter to them under the umbrella of research-informed design labs with their own distinctive agendas and approaches.
This year, the labs are themed to:
- AAA – Architecture in the Anthropocene Age
- Interactions
- Laboratory Conferta
- Meta Tectonics
- Prototype
- Beyond the Surface
Come along to celebrate the richness and diversity of our students’ work and mark this step in their aspiration to design a fairer and better world.
