Welcome to the The Faculty of Environment and Technology 2022 Virtual Degree show.
A new higher educational facility focused on the creative arts welcomes students from all universities and colleges in Bristol to work together and learn from one another. A central collaborative studio spans the full height of the main building with a range of voids connecting to heavy and light workshops at ground floor. Public exhibition and event spaces are relocated next to the busier Bristol Marina to accommodate the existing Spike Island gallery and encourage better public interaction, with routes through the site to connect the proposal to the wider Harbourside area. By retaining and extending above the existing buildings, embodied carbon is reduced, and low form factors achieved to respond to the Passive House brief. Projecting light weight polycarbonate cladding is proposed for the additional storey’s, which contrasts against the existing brick facades, to reinforce the nature of the bold educational proposal and increase visibility of the creative arts.
Master Of Architecture
The Master of Architecture programme aims to educate critically engaged architectural professionals with an ethically responsible attitude towards society, clients, users, and the environment. This is realised through a community-based activist approach exemplified in the first year through an emphasis on live projects. The live project work this year established student work in connection with a wide variety of local and regional partners, including: The Creative Youth Network, Little mead Primary School, Shape Our City, Bristol Civic Society, Frome town council, Coleford Regeneration, Avon Wildlife Trust, The parks Forum, Brislington Green trail.
