@AllElseIsGooky @NewcastleUniAPL Thanks Steve. It was also ingenuity forced by the group having to work remotely throughout the design / production phases. Amazing to see them in a shortlist with so many fantastic projects. Shout out to our incredible @NewcastleUniAPL workshop team who supported them throughout

[Prof Graham Farmer @Graham_M_Farmer]

@RIBA @UniofNewcastle Deserved recognition for two exceptional students, a thought provoking design thesis and their excellent studio tutors 👏

[Prof Graham Farmer @Graham_M_Farmer]

@nickywatsoncg Thanks Nicky. A really enjoyable experience for staff too - a good ending to a difficult year.

1/3 Our latest @NewcastleUniAPL student design-build project, a seating pavilion at Northumberlandia is now open and looking good in the Autumn sunshine.

@AllElseIsGooky @NewcastleUniAPL Thanks Steve. It’s a good job we used optimisation software to minimise quantity!!

[Prof Graham Farmer @Graham_M_Farmer]

@Paul90063193 @NewcastleUniAPL Thanks Paul. Adversity is certainly the mother of invention! Hope you and the family are well?

3/3 Rather than taking a well earned rest after completing their degrees the student team volunteered their time over the summer to install the prefabricated pavilion on site. Amazing commitment!

[Prof Graham Farmer @Graham_M_Farmer]

2/3 The pavilion has been developed using digital fabrication technologies allowing it to be progressed during lockdown. There are over 2000 individual pieces of CNC cut timber.

@AllElseIsGooky Until we eradicate the master / apprentice model that still pervades university education this will always be the case. It always takes longer to be someone you are not.

[Prof Graham Farmer @Graham_M_Farmer]

@AllElseIsGooky Yes, Kelvin Flats and Trinity Square - but the Ryder and Yates work at Killingworth is the biggest loss. Is anything south of Leeds even the north?

[Prof Graham Farmer @Graham_M_Farmer]

@AllElseIsGooky @CW_Architect @eamonncanniffe @dmuleicester @RIBA No relation - but Ben Farmer was Head of Architecture at Newcastle by the mid-80s. Always asked if he was my dad at uni interviews!

The Stage 6 Linked Research project is creating a seating pavilion and shelter at Northumberlandia in partnership with the Northumberland Wildlife Trust. The project has come into funding issues and students have set up a crowdfunding page for donations: https://t.co/m5sEQVhBsU

@Head_BhamArch FairPlay. Best team we have seen at SJP this season. Happy to donate the points providing you don't let it slip now!

[Prof Kevin W Singh @Head_MancArch]
