This summer, we concluded our 5th year of leading a studio for MArch students at Newcastle University. Each year, ‘Studio FBA’ follows a research theme that asks the students to consider use of energy and material choice in their designs, which often leads to projects reusing existing buildings.
However, last September, Dan Burn, Irina Korneychuk and Danka Stefan set a brief which specifically requested for students to find an existing building for reuse and develop proposals to reconnect it to its locality.
