Women in Property
It was with great pleasure that I attended the Women in Property Regional Student Awards event in London last night. The event was held at Cushman & Wakefield’s offices who made us very welcome, it also provided an opportunity for students to network with industry professionals.
We had two second year students nominated for the awards; Nicola Szczepaniak from BA (Hons) Interior Architecture & Design and Najwa Ghazali from BA (Hons) Architecture. Najwa was awarded a Highly Commended award and the judges praised her strong and clear presentation, I was happy to receive the award on her behalf – well done Najwa.
Nicola did not go away empty handed as she won a bottle of Champagne in the networking competition event!
Congratulations to both students for being such outstanding ambassadors for the university.

This is heritage science…3D modelling and light mapping of the Whistler Room, Mottisfont Abbey
Dr Karen Fielder from the School of Architecture has been involved in a very interesting research project in collaboration with the National Trust investigating two techniques as a basis for creating 3D models of rooms and buildings that can be used for purposes as diverse as disaster management planning, enhancing public understanding of rooms, or environmental planning.
To find out more about this fascinating project, please visit the National Heritage Science Forum website.

Gem Barton Book Launch: “Don't Get a Job... Make a Job: How to make it as a creative graduate”
We are very pleased to announce that Gem Barton will be visiting Portsmouth School of Architecture to present her latest book!
Wednesday 20 April 2016 > 4:00 pm > Eldon West > Room 1.11
Too often a design or architecture degree is seen as a means to an end (a job in an established practice). But imagine for one moment that there are no employers, no firms to send your CV to, no interviews to be had – what would you do? How would you forge your own path after graduation?
The current economic climate has seen many graduates chasing a finite number of positions. The most ingenious and driven designers have found weird and wonderful ways of making opportunities for themselves, often by applying their skills across the creative disciplines of art, design, architecture and interiors. Knowing what you want from your design career and being able to adapt your strategy to suit is basic and vital – just like in the wild, designers need to evolve.
The book celebrates the various strategies that students and graduates are taking to gain exposure, while also including interviews and inspirational advice from those who are now enjoying success as a result of their creative approach to employment.

She has 10 years’ experience teaching architecture, interior design, interior architecture, and design thinking at graduate and postgraduate level, and is currently Senior Lecturer at Brighton University.

The Odd Triangle Competition Winners Announced
After a long deliberation the Jury has identified 5 winning proposals:
First Place – IHeartPompey by team THE ODD COUPLE
Second Place – The Beach Hut by team FANTASTIC 4
Third Place – Nautilus by team REACT
Honourable Mentions – The Crystal by team MANO and The Odd Triangle by team SAW
Above: IHeartPompey by The Odd Couple (Richard Williams, Joshua Brooks & Chris Lucas)
The following elements were considered by the jurors in the decision-making process:
IDEA – clarity and purpose of the concept.
INNOVATION - radical, experimental, provocative, innovative design.
DESIGN - aesthetic quality of the design.
SOCIAL - potential social impact and engagement with local community.

Above: The Beach Hut by Fantastic 4 (Elena Christodoulou, Nuur Hambali, Alexandru Rijoiu & James Gobling)
Above: Nautilus by React (Olivia Campbell, Zane Putne, Fiona Rogoff, Ben Ross & Kieron Stephens)
The aim of The Odd Triangle project is to improve the quality of the public space and to bring together architectural students and local communities in an attempt to measure the impact of co-creational practices on the quality of urban life and the public realm. In cities, there is an abundance of unused spaces. Empowering local communities to take ownership of such spaces and decide on their use can at the same time raise awareness on alternative potential ways to use the public realm, create links between diverse urban actors, and regain individuals and groups to civic participation.
The place to be created will aim to be a playful and inclusive space, a space for socialising and open to welcome different people and allow for their interaction. This public space will ideally became a place with a recognisable character and have a positive social impact on the life of students and local communities.

Mock Interviews 2016
Every year, as part of the Architectural Communication & Professional Studies Unit, BA3 Architecture & Interior Architecture and Design students attend mock interviews by local practitioners. The aim of these events is to give students key emloyability skills and prepare them for future professional life as year-out students.
Over the last couple of months BA3 students were busy preparing their CV’s, job application letters and portfolios in conjunction with the Professional Practice course. Some of them have had summer employment experience, although others have never worked in an architectural practice. Therefore, for many students, their CV’s and portfolios reflect what you would expect of a potential graduate students, with a developing portfolio of third year work.
This year we had approximately 170 students taking part in the interviews and around 30 practitioners from local Architectural and Interior Design practices who volunteered their time to interview the potential graduates and give feedback on their work.
After her mock interview, BA3 Architecture student, Abibat Kareem, shared her thoughts on the process:
“This experience has been really useful! The interviewer gave me so much feedback which I didn’t even expect. My CV will be much better thanks to this mock interview.”
BA3 Interior Architecture and Design student, Shruti Dudhaiya, added:
“The interview was nice and I was quite calm. It was great to have a conversation about my work with the practitioners. They gave me a lot of useful tips on how to improve my portfolio and CV which I will definitely use in future.”
Yuhao Liu, BA3 Architecture student, commented:
“Although I have three years’ experience in the professional field, this mock interview has been a very useful exercise which helped me improve my self-presentation skills and learn more about what is expected in a job interview for an architectural position.”
We wish all our third year students best of luck in their future job searches and may their first steps in the professional world be filled with excitement and success!
Design Academy
Students from across CCI, which included five IAD students, attended the final session of the Design Academy http://www.designcouncil.org.uk/what-we-do/design-academy on Friday at the Design Council in London.
This gave our students the opportunity to present their ideas to a panel of industry experts and receive feedback on their proposals. These ranged from helping older people to live independently to encouraging random acts of altruism - all concerned with very real issues in our society around the brief of Design for Care. The judges comments were very positive and praised all of the students for their engagement with the projects and particularly their professional presentations.
The Commended team developed a response to help those suffering from Diabetes to understand, manage and live with this condition using a range of simple but effective tools.
The Design Academy has been a great experience for our students and has allowed them all to engage with working in an interdisciplinary design team and realise the power of design thinking.
“The Design Academy Programme has helped me to reconsider my design thinking and design thought process. Thinking about the problem first rather than designing straight away was new but very enjoyable and helps to get better solutions.”
Rosie BA2 IAD
"An eye opening program that allowed me to realise that there are things we could do other than just designing. It provided us with the knowledge and chance to take a step back and properly analyse a problem. With the addition of being able to work in multi-disciplinary groups, it gave us a chance to experience a professional environment of working with people with different skills and methods in order to proceed in a project."
Lisa BA2 IAD
Thank you to all at the Design Council, especially Neil Stone and Bel Reed for all of their help and enthusiasm.
