Upon
successful completion, students
may gain direct entry to year two
of an undergraduate degree at
Newcastle University - principally
the ARB accredited and RIBA
validated degree programme.
design software.
By the end of the academic year,
students have developed an

ere are two main concepts in my design, communication and diction. The residents are not family and are, instead, unrelatstrangers. So a special technique in both its management and its
ace becomes necessary for complete strangers to continue naturalto share spaces with one another. As we can see, this is quite a
rrow site, According to the shared house in Japan, so the solution
this space has divided this house into three blocks with differt height levels to accommodate different buildings functions. These
aces are then connected bu courtyard acting as transition and comnication space; bringing light and natural ventilation throught the site. The courtyard area is the design solution to this narw site and performed as flexible space to provide light, shade,
r, shelter, privacy and communication. This courtyard can be a
tural exhibition as well for photographer and pottery artist s
rks. This is the first space you come in when you through the enance and turn right. In this courtyard, you can go everywhere if
u want, such as turn right go to living and dining room, or turn
ght go to kitchen and pottery studio, this gives you a direction
r come through this house, it can give you an option for walking.

The
International
Graduate
Diploma in Architecture aims to
prepare international students for
postgraduate architectural studies
at Newcastle University or, should
they wish, elsewhere in the UK.
Students come from an array of
different educational backgrounds,
both design and non-design
related. As a result, much of the
semester 1 teaching focuses
on improvement and refinement
of core architectural skills by
means of small design projects
encompassing architecture, urban
and landscape design disciplines.
Semester 2 provides an opportunity
to consolidate and expand on
acquired skills and knowledge
through a comprehensive design
project. Students are encouraged
to experiment, explore and
develop their own architectural
design philosophy by applying an
interdisciplinary, holistic approach
towards urban design.
