Bourdon Building, 47 students
This programme is ARB/RIBA Part 2 Accredited. The programme is designed to provide the necessary educational framework for students who intend to enter the architectural profession, and confers exemption from Part 2 of the Examination in Architecture ARB/RIBA. It offers and intensive training in the forces acting on building, and the specific skills of being an architect. Project based it centres on contemporary issues of urban building, the work ranging from live projects and sponsored research to competitions and theoretical studies.
This year’s Stage 5 students have responded to the theme of The Ethical City, with many students this year taking as their case study the city of Marseilles. Community empowerment is a key theme that many students have drawn on when looking at ethical methods of revitalising urban spaces, along with sustainable and restorative building practices and conscientious approaches to material.
