“It is not possible to live in this age

if you don’t have a sense of many

contradictory forces.”

- Rem Koolhaas

Welcome to the first Yearbook of

the INTO Newcastle University

Architecture

programme!

It

celebrates both the creative output

of our recent students and the

quality of teaching provided by our

highly motivated and professional

team. Browsing through the

pages, it is immediately apparent

that the range and quality of work

is both striking and to a highly

commendable standard, especially

as we consider the dense

schedule of teaching activities and

assignments the students have

to manage throughout the two

semesters.

In the introductory quote, architect

Rem Koolhaas acknowledges the

reality of many contradictory forces

exerting influence on contemporary

society. Globalisation is such a

force. It is a term which, particularly

since the emergence of the internet,

has become deeply established in

ways we possibly couldn’t foresee

just two or three decades ago. It

provides great opportunities, yet

simultaneously creates complex

social, cultural and economic

challenges.

In the architectural profession,

international experience matters

more than ever before. Today’s

architectural student needs to

understand the diverse contexts

and operations of architecture,

and to embrace the opportunity to

rediscover and reinterpret cultural

traditions in the light of dramatic

global and technological change.

This is what our programme

attempts to deliver across its three

pathways.
