NTU Architecture Subject Group

Lock House Labs

The north embankment of the River Trent is changing, with the waterside area being rejuvenated into a flourishing residential community in years to come.

The formation of a new community brings with it the needs of the people. To be able to express and explore creative subjects is a necessity of modern life, something which the waterside and West Bridgford does not currently facilitate.

Physical and sensory journeys are personal but are experienced by all in different ways, resembling the relationship between the individual and the wider community. Embracing the different aspects of these experiences inspires the building programme and design in many ways.

The Lock House Labs facilitates the music creatives of the surrounding communities, providing opportunity for observation and direct involvement. The labs offer something to all those with an interest in music. Whether it is performing professionally or just starting out, everyone is at different stage of their journey.

BArch Architecture

The BArch (Hons) in Architecture course is focused on the creative and practical development of architectural design, investigated in a studio environment through a series of carefully considered practical and theoretical projects in a variety of spatial, social, cultural and topographical situations.

The purpose of the course is to align architectural concepts, thinking, techniques and values with current architectural thought and practice. It involves strategic thinking and creative imagination; problem-solving and research tasks; attention to detail and tectonic resolution; traditional and digital forms of representation; and public presentations and reviews. This course addresses the challenges of designing for diverse communities and cultures and develops Part 1 graduates with creative vision, practical skills and an ethical position in respect of the role of the architect in a globalised world.
