Join +3 architecture's archiGRAD summer school.
Dates: 30th July - 3rd September 2012
Team of 10 students
Location: Central Newcastle
Welcome meeting: Monday 23rd July at 4pm
Practice based day: Monday
Project: What is a World City? What is a City Region? What is Newcastle-Gateshead? What would it take to make Newcastle-Gateshead a World City? What could it mean to be at the centre of a vibrant City-Region?
To answer these questions we will work closely with OOBE Landscape Architects and possibly other local agencies. We anticipate this will offer students an opportunity for big scale thinking, within and beyond the context of government policy, and the opportunity to develop a number of thoughtful and provocative design propositions at a variety of scales.
You would need to be available for the majority of this 6 week period. There is not an expectation that you will take part in the archiGRAD summer school full time in this period as we realise that most students will have to fit this round part time jobs, but there is a minimum expectation that you will commit to attend a full studio/practice based day each week and then do other work as and when you can.
As part of the studio/practice day, the firm will provide up to 2 hours reviewing/advising/mentoring support. If you are planning on taking a holiday within this period, do not worry, there are other practices lined up and further start dates will be announced shortly.
+3 architecture is geared up to welcome you on the practice based day but also has space available for you to use during general working hours too as well as access to a PC.
