Foreword
Welcome to the Sheffield School of Architecture Summer Exhibition catalogue of 2018.
This document presents the work produced by students from across our undergraduate and postgraduate programmes. The School’s ethos
of social conscience and sustainability is a known strength and is evident throughout these outstanding and meaningful contributions. This
can be seen in students’ projects from the Bachelor’s first year on rooms in the city, a community kitchen and a house, second year’s
housing schemes, and third year’s diverse projects such cultural projects in Scarborough in semester one, while final studio projects dealt
with an array of exciting briefs such as a national centre for tailoring, a Yorkshire guild of master crafts, and a national truth institute.
Likewise our MArch continues to run the very popular and successful Live Projects to bring an understanding of social responsibility, and
has this year put new emphasis on design enquiry to encourage students to explore a set of issues through design. MArch Collaborative
Practice continues to grow and is anticipated to have a two-year offer next year.
Our postgraduate taught courses in architectural design, urban design, sustainable architecture, and digital architecture and design, are
very specialised and international, and align with the School’s ethos in addressing the social, economic, environmental and technological
aspects of architecture.
This academic year we have been successfully validated by the RIBA and the Board of Architect Malaysia. This is a huge achievement thanks
to the dedication of our colleagues and students.
This year we introduced digital reviews to reduce printing costs and explore new ways of presenting ideas and proposals. The School
is committed to develop this further through investment in state-of-the-art equipment. We also welcomed our Graham Willis Visiting
Professor Dr Grainne Hassett, Senior Lecturer at the SAUL School of Architecture University of Limerick, Ireland.
While writing this foreword, the Guardian League Table for Architecture was published showing our School as the number one. This is
a significant achievement, and for this I would like to thank our past and current students, academics, professional services staff, alumni,
friends and families, and partners from the profession for their continuous support and encouragement. This is a noteworthy team effort
that has made this School such as a special place to learn and work.
Also special thanks to the School’s Architecture Society for their efforts with the guest lecture series and other School activities, and to
the Catalogue team for the production of this publication.
I hope you will enjoy this catalogue and the exhibition.

Undergraduate
The BA Architecture course is a three-year honours degree that brings together a balanced university education with a professionally
orientated course. It combines lecture based courses with a creative studio culture.
Lectures develop a broad knowledge base ranging across sciences and humanities; this knowledge is then brought to the studio where it is
tested and developed through a sequence of design projects. Lectures are delivered by staff who are all at the forefront of their own field
of research, ensuring this information imparted is up-to-date and relevant.
Within the studio, full time members of staff are joined by practicing architects, who bring with them topical ideas and skill from the
world of architecture. It is this combination of a rigorous academic base and a creative professional direction that exemplifies architecture
at Sheffield.
The dual degrees in Architecture + Landscape and Structural Engineering and Architecture enable students to integrate their architectural
design work with the wider landscape context and the discipline of engineering respectively.
All courses offer opportunities to think about sustainability and sustainable futures in an interconnected and contextual way.

Year One
The main intention of Year One studio is twofold: We want students to learn basic skills, allowing them to communicate their design ideas
to others, and we want students to critically reflect on their own work and consequences of architectural interventions. The building (or
any other spatial intervention) is a node within a broad network of forces and actors. We want our students to start seeing architecture
in this highly contextualised way.
The Year One ethos is built on notions of collaboration, social engagement and inclusivity. While students learn how to design a building,
they simultaneously ask why anything should be designed and build at all? Who will benefit from this particular spatial intervention? How
will the building influence its location and surroundings?

P1 - Section
This project explores a basic techniques for analysing and
representing urban space, mostly using a ‘cognitive mapping’ 02
approach (see Kevin Lynch, The Image of the City). Students Victoria Glistrides
negotiate their own personal (‘subjective’) understanding of the P1 - Mental Map
city with their colleagues(‘social’) views.

There are three main ways how architects understand and work Joey Khou
with space: P1 - West Street Analysis
- personal / subjective / emotional / phenomenological: when 04
architects engage with a notion of ‘place’ Izzy Roberts
- geometrical / neutral / Cartesian: when architects engage with a P2 - Movement Exploration
notion of ‘(neutral) space’ (GPS, CAD/ GIS software)
- legal / physical: when architects engage with a notion of territory 05

07
This project explores a range of different techniques for analysing Elizabeth Acland
and representing architectural space, moving from objective P2 - Axonometric
methods to a more subjective approach (and vice versa). Students
work both collectively (in the studio) and individually to capture 08
the particular qualities of individual rooms and their connection(s) Ivana Kafedjian
to the wider world in a variety of ways. Over the course of P3 - Axonometric
this project students are expected to develop a profound
understanding of their own rooms – revealing and representing 09
multiple layers of interest and meaning. Students also work on Joey Khou
a wider context of this particular place (spatially – as a part of a P3 - Sequential Drawing 01To explore and merge the shared and individual experiences we had in Sheffield, we produced a video, superimposing our drawings and interests of Sheffield
onto one sheet. In doing so some similarities became clear, such as the correlation between student areas and noise pollution, as well as the juxtaposition

between noticing small details to use as way points and having a fast paced, transport oriented view of the city.

Project 3
‘Community Kitchen’
Through the design of a small building in an urban context, this
project allows students to develop an understanding of the
relationship between internal spatial layout, external form and
the ways in which the particular characteristics of a site (context)
affect the design of architectural space. This project has two
stages. Stage one focuses on collecting data, analysing site and the
process of food preparation and consumption. Stage two of the
project aims to use these collected information as a foundation for
design of the building. This project helps students to understand
architectural space beyond an architectural object (building) in a
wider (urban, social, cultural) context. 02
