Welcome to the Birmingham School of Architecture Blog. This webspace presents an ongoing dialogue of work generated by 1st year Architecture and Landscape students at the School. Projects this year will follow the meta-theme of habitation; it can imply living in a domestic setting but more abstractly can represent the occupation of a given environment regardless of the activity occurring within. Occupation is not restricted to living beings but can extend to inanimate objects with issues of containment and how artefacts influence the surrounding space.

18.1.11

Sunday saw the 50th birthday of the opening of the M1, Britain's first long distance motorway. Initially just 72 miles long, it connected the West Midlands region with London and the South East improving connection times and revolutionising travel. It saw a further expansion leading it into Birmingham. Design as an infrastructural monument, it was not well conceived in terms of its long term capacity. As we discovered in the Super-Prix project, it is a question of changing the driver's behaviour as well as engineering strategy. More information available here.
