The End of Year Show involves the whole of Kent School of Architecture from foundation and first year right through to MArch, Postgraduate and PhD studies. The exhibition will be a celebration of architecture through drawing, models, photography and research.
Stage 5 and 4 will be in Studio C downstairs. It’s the second year of the unit system which uses vertical teaching to combine both 4th and 5th year. Projects run for a whole year and range from Kent to Canvey Island, Portland to Istanbul. This year the projects have a wide scope and deal with issues of flooding, pollution, community, regeneration and infrastructure. Each unit has put together its own individual exhibition through the collaboration of the unit leaders and students. The tutors for this year are Unit 1; Michael Richards and Michael Holms Coats. Unit 2; Ed Holloway and Peter Ayers. Unit 3; Corinna Dean And Diana Cochrane. Unit 4; Shaun Murray and Yorgos Loizos.
Stage 3 projects include the Modular and Urban modules. Modular is a masterplan in Canterbury of education building, student accommodation, public housing and a boarding house and Urban is in Rochester: a design for a School of Arts.
‘For the second year running the students have taken control of the Kent School of Architecture Degree Show. Tasked with designing both the exhibition and the degree catalogue, we see the students and staff working collaboratively and on a level playing field, in order to celebrate the diverse architectural expression which manifests itself through various mediums. Our commitment to the Degree Show programme has seen it grow to fruition, from the design of the invitations and graphical identity of the school, to the collation and display of over 200 artefacts of student work. This culminates in a bespoke and extensive catalogue that illustrates the all-encompassing ethos of the school. We hope these efforts will take Kent School of Architecture a step further into the architectural community and wish for a significant turnout to witness the schools progression.’ Rosie Seaman & Peter Evans – MArch Stage Five
