Leading this A number of notable events have taken place School of Architecture is a true pleasure thanks in the year: we became a Faculty of Technology, to you. Design and Environment; the Centre for De- velopment and Emergency Practice (CENDEP) Matt Gaskin celebrated the twentieth anniversary of its Head of the School of Architecture award-winning Masters degree in Development and Emergency Practice (DEP); and the School launched the online Humanitarian and Action Conflict programme. The School is now in its 85th year. With the new extension, a fantastic OxArch student society and the exceptional Doric Club we are all looking towards an exciting future. As part of the University’s 20/20 future vision the School is currently in Phase 01 of the new building works. The new studios and offices contained in the extension will come online in June 2012, and will expand the studio environment, bring the Faculty together, and introduce a permanent gallery space. This extension will make a critical difference to the feel of the School, as we will be concentrat- ed over two floors and our distinctive programmes branded into the fabric of the building. 003 Published by the School of Architecture, Oxford Brookes University © 2012 Editor: Igea Troiani Copy editor: David Sanderson Editorial Board: Matt Gaskin, David Sanderson, Igea Troiani Graphic Design team: Anna Zaremba (Graphic Designer), Igea Troiani Printed by Ambassador Litho Ltd, Bristol 004 Contents: Message from the Head of School | 003 Events | 006 OxArch | 006 Exhibitions | 008 PART 01: Undergraduate BA | 009 Year 01 Studio | 012 Year 02 and Year 03 Design Units | 018 Unit A: Syndicated Infrastructures | 018 Unit B: The Unseen Landscape | 022 Unit C: The Urban Enclave | 026 Unit D: The Legacy of Conflict | 030 Unit E: Space Beyond Object | 034 Unit F: Topographies and Times | 038 Unit G: Re:iteration | 042 Unit H: Outpost | 046 Unit J: Pockets and Poché | 050 Interior Architecture | 054 Interior Architecture Studio | 055 PART 02: Postgraduate MArchD/Dip Arch | 063 Design Specialisms/Masters: Advanced Architectural Design (AAD) | 066 Development and Emergency Practice (DEP) | 070 International Architectural Regeneration and Development (IARD) | 074 Research-led Design/Major Study | 078 Sustainable Building Performance and Design (SBPD) | 082 Urban Design | 086 Design Studio Dip Arch Year 05 | 090 PART 03: Examination in Management Practice and Law | 092 RIBA Examination in Architecture for Office-based Candidates (OBE) | 094 Research Degree Programme and Research Clusters | 096 OISD: Centre for Development and Emergency Practice | 098 OISD: Place, Culture and Identity Group | 099 OISD: Technology Research Group | 099 OISD: The Low Carbon Building Group | 100 Design, Theory and Practice Group | 100 Competition Winners | 102 Ibstock Travel Award | 104 Live Projects | 105 Doric Club | 108 Workshop/printing/facilities | 109 Staff List | 110 Prizes | 111 With Thanks | 112 005 Events OxArch This year’s OxArch Student Society events went under the theme of ‘The Future of the Architect’, questioning the role and value of architects in 21st century society. Visiting lectur- ers included some well-known firms, such as Hopkins and MAKE, and some up and coming innovators such as Factory Fifteen and Studio Weave. OxArch hosted a series of three panel discus- sions with the hope of submerging students within the bigger questions on how politics, busi- ness and technology affects spatial production in the built environment. These featured repre- sentatives from the RIBA, local developers and leading architects to create a dialogue that often ran into unforeseen areas and prompted pas- sionate interjections from audience members. In addition to the lecture series OxArch ran a number of sustainable workshops for students including green wall construction and bamboo structures. The society has held numerous social events including fancy dress pub-crawls, football teams in both the Brookes 5-aside and 11-aside leagues and a trip to BedZed. By running a more engaged society, OxArch hopes to have set a standard for interaction that will continue to be improved upon in the coming years. We see our work as a valued resource running in parallel to, and informing, the content covered in university modules.

The 2004 NHNY Design Ideas Competition, sponsored by American Institute of Architects New York (AIANY) in partnership with New York City Council and the City University of New York, solicited design concepts for three sites.

So often we are invited to worthy but dull conferences that are financially successful but without any real content. I wanted FX’s first stab in this direction to be different. Radically different. With ideas to stimulate, provoke and make us think differently, I’m hoping this will inspire all the great things to do with about living, and less to do with working. Much as we at FX write about your successful designs and projects, it is very often the ideas behind them that can be so energising and exciting. Very often it’s the concept ideas that are the most engaging that don’t come to fruition because of being too ambitious or too expensive. So instead of writing about them, I thought it would be a good forum to get together to collectively listen and, of course, gt down to some networking afterwards too.
