NE Final Brochure.Indd 9 7 10 8 6 3 1 2 4 5 AIAUK WEEKEND EXCURSION: NEWCASTLE UPON TYNE AND GATESHEAD SEPTEMBER 14-15 2019 Newcastle, and the Northeast region, has a rich history in world-leading engineering, innova on and crea vity which is evident in architecture of the City Centre and Quayside. The Literary and Philosophical Society of Newcastle upon Tyne (or the Lit & Phil as it is popularly known) is a historical library - the largest in- dependent library outside London. Founded in 1793 as a “conversa on club” by the Reverend William Turner and others – more than fi y years before the London Library – the annual subscrip on was originally one guinea. It a racted intellectuals and academics alike with its wide-rang- ing debates and plen ful literature in French, Spanish, German and Lat- in, and was host to a long list of the intelligentsia of the era. Engineer and inventor George Stephenson showed his miner’s lamp here, and in 1879, when Joseph Swan demonstrated his electric light bulbs, the Lit and Phil building became the fi rst public building to be so illuminated. Between 1822 and 1825, a new building was created for the Society on Westgate Road, designed by John Green. This building is s ll in use today, with many original features including iron-work second-fl oor galleries. SATURDAY LITERARY AND PHILOSOPHICAL SOCIETY 1 THE SEVEN BRIDGES OF NEWCASTLE/GATESHEAD (WEST TO EAST) Redheugh Bridge - The current bridge - designed by Mo Hay & Anderson - is the third road crossing at this loca on and was opened in 1983 by the Princess of Wales. King Edward VII Bridge – The bridge - designed and engineered by C A Harrison and opened by King Edward VII in 1906 – has been described as ‘Britain’s last great railway bridge’. It is Grade II listed. Queen Elizabeth II Metro Bridge – Designed by WA Fairhust and Partners in the 1970s, the bridge was purpose built to carry the Tyne and Wear Metro. High Level Bridge - Designed by Robert Stevenson and opened by Queen Victoria in 1849, the iron road and rail bridge is considered the most notable historical engineering works in the city and is Grade I listed. Swing Bridge - Designed, built and paid for by Sir William Armstrong to access his engineering works, the bridge was and opened in 1876 as the largest swing bridge then built. It is Grade II listed and renovated in 2018. Tyne Bridge – The bridge - designed by the engineering fi rm Mo , Hay and An- derson, and opened in 1928 – has become the defi ning symbol of Tyneside. It is Grade II listed. Gateshead Millennium Bridge - Designed by architects Wilkinson Eyre and engi- neers Giff ord and Partners, the bridge was opened to pedestrian and cycle traffi c in 2000. It has since won the RIBA S rling Prize and featured on stamps and coins. 2 BRIDGES TOUR, NEWCASTLE QUAYSIDE Winner of the 2002 RIBA S rling Prize for Wilkinson Eyre Architects, this unique crossing for pedestrians and cyclists has become a new landmark for the Tyne, a river already famous for its historic bridges. The bridge links Newcastle’s thriving north bank with Gateshead Quays – the new arts and cultural quarter to the south. The bridge is essen ally two graceful curves, one forming the deck and the other suppor ng it, spanning between two new islands running parallel to the quaysides. The curved arms pivot around their common springing points to allow shipping to pass beneath, using an innova ve rota onal movement similar to that of a slowly opening eyelid. The par- abolic curve of the deck extends the 105m crossing distance to around 120m, but provide enough extra height for the required clearance above the water when in the rotated posi on. The bridge takes as li le as 4 1⁄2 minutes to rotate through the full 40° from closed to open, depending on wind speed. Visually elegant when sta c and in mo on, the bridge off ers a great spectacle during its ‘blinking eye’ opening opera on – both during the day and by night. It is also energy effi cient, as li le as £3.96 per opening (in 2017). MILLENNIUM BRIDGE 3 The Bal c Mills was a disused fl our silo sited on the south bank of the River Tyne, Gateshead. Originally built by Rank Hovis, it was completed in 1950 to a late-1930s design by architects Gelder and Kitchen. It was earmarked by the local authority for regenera on into a gallery in the 1990s. A er winning a design compe on, Dominic Williams of Ellis Wil- liams Architects worked closely with the gallery organisa on to develop his ver cal stack concept and lead a carefully chosen technical team. The successful conversion was opened in 2002, receiving many awards and welcoming over a million visitors in its fi rst year. The winning design explored the rela onship between crea ve and social forms by posi oning the administra on and educa on spaces at the heart of the building and allowing the programme to evolve fl exibly around them. The ver cality of the exis ng perimeter silo structure was retained, while inser ng a new structure of six main fl oors and three mezzanines between the facades. Included are 3000sqm of arts space (four galleries and a fl exible performance space), ar sts’ studios, a cine- ma/lecture space, a shop, a library and an archive for the study of con- temporary art. 4 BALTIC CENTRE FOR CONTEMPORARY ART Sage Gateshead is a music educa on and concert centre located on the south bank of the River Tyne in Gateshead. Designed by Foster and Part- ners and completed in 2004. The building comprises three performance spaces which are acous cally independent, separated from one another to prevent noise transfer. To further improve the acous c performance of the structures, a special- ly-designed ‘spongy’ concrete mix was used with an increased air ca- pacity. Due to strong coastal winds and a some mes inclement climate, it was decided to group the independent structures together under a single protec ve roof cover. The three reinforced concrete structures containing the performance spaces are expressed on the outside by the roof undula ons. Reaching a height of over 40 m, the shell roof is supported by four steel arches with spans of 80 m. The undula ng roof wraps around the three internal structures, but does not touch them. As well as rejuvena ng the former industrial wasteland of the Tyne south bank, the building has received awards for its use of cu ng-edge technology, structural design and acous c engineering. SAGE GATESHEAD 5 Long before becoming modern ci es, Newcastle and Gateshead were just two humble se lements separated by the River Tyne. From the boom of the Industrial Revolu on, its legacy of engineering and social innova on and its thriving night life have transformed Newcastle and Gateshead into vibrant, dynamic and cosmopolitan North East des na- ons which a ract visitors from across the globe. Many of the buildings which can be seen in Newcastle today were built during the 19th century a er builder Richard Grainger won a compe- on to produce a new city plan for central Newcastle. Other notable architects working with Grainger include John Dobson, John Wardle, Thomas Oliver and John and Benjamin Green. The stylised and stun- ning Neoclassical architecture is primarily found on Leazes Terrace, Grey Street, Grainger Street and Clayton Street. The Theatre Royal and Great North Museum found nearby are also fi ne examples of the style. This stunning mix of Victorian and Georgian architecture is o en referred to as ‘Grainger Town’. Grey Street alone has earned its share of accolades as one of the ‘Best Street’s in the UK. SUNDAY 6 WALKING TOUR: CITY CENTRE The Newcastle Civic Centre is a local government building designed by its city architect, George Kenyon. It was opened in 1968 by HM King Olav V of Norway in recogni on of the Scandinavian infl uences in its design and materials. With the city in the throes of post-war de-indus- trialisa on, it is claimed that the Civic Centre dragged Newcastle ‘kicking and screaming into modernity’ (20C Society). It has long since been ap- preciated as a cultural landmark. The Civic Centre off ers a sense of spa al drama fi ng for a city of steep inclines and sharp changes in perspec ve. The drama is epitomised by the looming sculpture of the River God Tyne by David Wynne on its façade and its imposing rotunda shape complemen ng the func onal rhythm of its administra ve spaces. The Civic Centre is currently undergoing a £45m makeover to op mise the building use by suble ng space to other agencies. Heritage groups are strongly opposed to altera ons to the building that aff ect its archi- tectural legacy. The closing off of the open colonnade into the courtyard have been par cularly controversial. WALKING TOUR: CIVIC CENTRE 7 Newcastle University can trace its origins back to a School of Medicine and Surgery established in 1834 and the College of Physical Science (Armstrong College) established in 1871. It is a ‘red brick university’ as well as a member of the pres gious research-intensive Russell Group of UK universi es. It has an enrolment of almost 16,000 undergraduate and 5,600 post- graduate students from 120 countries. It off ers 175 full- me undergrad- uate degree programmes in a wide range of subject areas -including architecture, arts, sciences, engineering and medicine - together with approximately 340 postgraduate programmes.

  • Bridges Over the Tyne Session Plan
    Bridges over the Tyne Session Plan There are seven bridges over the Tyne between central Newcastle and Gateshead but there have been a number of bridges in the past that do not exist anymore. However the oldest current bridge, still standing and crossing the Tyne is actually at Corbridge, built in 1674. Pon Aelius is the earliest known bridge. It dates from the Roman times and was built in the reign of the Roman Emperor Hadrian at the same time as Hadrian’s Wall around AD122. It was located where the Swing Bridge is now and would have been made of wood possibly with stone piers. It last- ed until the Roman withdrawal from Britain in the 5th century. Two altars can be seen in the Great North Museum to Neptune and Oceanus. They are thought to have been placed next to the bridge at the point where the river under the protection of Neptune met the tidal waters of the sea under the protection of Oceanus. The next known bridge was the Medieval Bridge. Built in the late 12th century, it was a stone arched bridge with huge piers. The bridge had shops, houses, a chapel and a prison on it. It had towers with gates a drawbridge and portcullis reflecting its military importance. The bridge collapsed during the great flood of 1771, after three days of heavy rain, with a loss of six lives. You can still see the remains of the bridge in the stone archways on both the Newcastle and Gateshead sides of the river where The Swing Bridge is today.

    EDITORIAL Another year has come and gone, and we trust that 1989 will be a happy and prosperous one for all our members. If our Society is to continue to flourish, however, it is essential that more members should play an active part in running its affairs. Ken Brown, our Secretary since 1983 (and acting Programme Organiser for the last year), is resigning at the Annual General Meeting in May, and Irene Blackburn, who is responsible for the Members' Interests and Second Time Around sections of the Journal, will be giving up her position as Research Editor later in the year. We are very grateful to them both for all the work they have done on our behalf. In addition to these two posts, we are still short of a Programme Organiser. If you know of anyone who might be willing to take on any of these jobs please let Ken Brown know as soon as possible - otherwise the Society may come to a grinding halt. One of the most important events of 1988 as far as the Society was concerned was the publication of the long-awaited Directory of Members' Interests. Its production entailed a great deal of hard work on the part of those responsible, and it also placed a severe strain on the Society's finances. In view of the fact that it was initially offered free to members (only the cost of postage and packing being charged), the demand for copies was disappointingly small. Copies are still available, and although now priced £2.75 each (post free to addresses in the U.K.), they are very good value.

  • Bridgescape As an Assessment Tool in the Socio- Spatial and Visual Connections of the Central Urban Areas of Newcastle and Gateshead
    Special Issue, | Roadscape, 8(36) Bridgescape as an Assessment Tool in the Socio- spatial and Visual Connections of the Central Urban Areas of Newcastle and Gateshead Goran Erfani Abstract | Newcastle University, UK Growing roads and mobility have led to the formation of new landscape types: known bridgescape or bridge landscape. The social, [email protected] cultural, and visual impacts of bridges on their surroundings as drivers and symbols of the development have gained increasing significance in roadscape studies. This article aims to assess the role and design of bridges in the socio-spatial and visual connections of the central urban areas of Newcastle and Gateshead, located in North East England, by the criterion of the bridgescape. The findings of this article show that bridges are not only transitional passages; rather, they can be socio-spatial destinations for people to meet, do collective activities and improve their environmental perceptions. In urban milieu, landmarks have dissimilar impacts on visual connections and bridgescape. Characteristic and contrasting landmarks improve bridgescapes; however, corrupting landmarks have a destructive role in bridgescape. Keywords | Bridgescape (bridge landscape), Socio-Spatial Connections, Visual Connections. 32 No.36 Autumn 2016 Goran Erfani Introduction | Bridges are a vital element in ground from landscape architects to structural engineers. transportation networks, which connect cities, communities In North east England, the city of Newcastle-upon-Tyne, and even nations. Within urban areas, bridges not only have a commonly known as Newcastle, is well-known for its key role in the spatial connection of places but also can facilitate bridgescape.

  • William Newton (1730-1798) and the Development Of
    William Newton (1730-1798) and the Development of the Architectural Profession in North-East England Richard Pears A thesis submitted in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy School of History, Classics and Archaeology, Newcastle University April 2013 ABSTRACT This thesis examines the emergence of the professional architect in the provinces of eighteenth-century Britain, drawing upon new research into the career of William Newton (1730-1798) of Newcastle upon Tyne. Section I assesses the growth of professionalism, identifying the criteria that distinguished professions from other occupations and their presence in architectural practitioners. It contrasts historians’ emphasis upon innovative designs by artist-architects, such as Sir John Vanbrugh and Robert Adam, with their absence from the realisation of their designs. Clients had to employ capable building craftsmen to supervise construction and this was an opportunity for an alternative practitioner to emerge, the builder-architect exemplified by Newton, offering clients proven practical experience, frequent supervision, peer group recommendation and financial responsibility. Patronage networks were a critical factor in securing commissions for provincial builder-architects, demonstrated here by a reconstruction of Newton’s connections to the north-east élite. Section II reveals that the coal-based north-east economy sustained architectural expenditure, despite national fluctuations. A major proposal of this thesis is that, contrary to Borsay’s theory of an ‘English urban renaissance’, north-east towns showed continuity and slow development. Instead, expenditure was focused upon élite social spaces and industrial infrastructure, and by the extensive repurposing of the hinterlands around towns. This latter development constituted a ‘rural renaissance’ as commercial wealth created country estates for controlled access to social pursuits by élite families.
