Metamorphosis, Group 7

First Year Studio Lead: Tim Rolt

Semester 1, Project 1 – METAMORPHOSIS For their first project first-year students were invited to explore the theme of ‘metamorphosis’ through the design and full-size construction of a ‘play-structure’ for use by small children using a a humble palette of everyday materials – OSB board, wood, canvas and rope. By adopting the theme of ‘metamorphosis’ the project placed a specific focus on the ‘process’ of design. In both architecture and engineering we learn by ‘doing’ and it follows that that process – the method by which we develop a design – is critical to its successful evolution. Working in small groups of architects and engineers, each group drew from a hat one of 36 wonderful and distinctive animals, ranging from giraffes to pterodactyls, octopi to kangaroos. Once adopted, the group were then required to consider the specific characteristics of their chosen animal and use these as the genesis of their design, which would be developed and refined through a transformative, metamorphic process.

Semester 1, Project 2 – INSTRUMENT Antonio Stradivari is acknowledged as the greatest luthier of all time, and his violins are celebrated for their exquisite craftsmanship and the complexity of their sound: a sound both brilliant and warm, capable of projecting with exceptional clarity and power whilst maintaining tonal beauty and nuance. But what gives these instruments their extraordinary musical qualities? A musical instrument is a highly-refined and complex device that embodies both art and craft and is designed to enable the creation of something beyond itself – music. Similarly, architecture may also be considered an instrument; a device by which to realise something both tangible and intangible. With the above in mind, students were invited to design a structure to display, interpret, and experience a unique musical instrument drawn from the collections of the renowned Musical Instrument Museum in Brussels; and in doing so to explore the relationship between an object and its purpose – be that of the instrument and the structure that houses it – and how artistic vision, innovation, and craftsmanship can influence and inform its design.

Semester 2, Project 1 – RESUGRAM In the late 1960’s Bristol City developed ambitious plans for a new outer ring road, intended to accommodate the rapid growth of post-war car ownership and to modernise the city. The proposal included the construction of a large and complex interchange which required the demolition of large swathes of the historic quarter of Totterdown. And so, with little to no public consultation, homes and businesses were compulsorily purchased and eviction orders issued; demolitions began and within just two years, 600 homes, more than 100 shops, 11 pubs, five chapels, and a school were razed to the ground. And the road was never built. And yet, despite the enormity of the destruction, the surviving residents were drawn together by a shared sense of injustice, which forged a resilient, highly independent, and self-reliant community spirit that continues to shape Totterdown today. With this in mind, students were invited to confront an unnecessary and profoundly wasteful tragedy, and in doing so to design a community pavilion for the residents of Totterdown: a space to commemorates the injustice and sacrifice endured, and – more importantly – to celebrates the resilient spirit of the diverse and vibrant community that arose from, and in proud defiance of, that tragedy.

Semester 2, Project 2 – ARTISAN The project explored how architecture has the potential to create environments that can facilitate more sustainable patterns of living and working through the design of a live-work house, using load-bearing masonry construction, for a couple engaged in artisan craft work. Whether trapped in poverty, suppressed by inequality, or simply caught on the treadmill of high-pressured or insecure working environments, we appear to be witnessing ever higher levels of stress, anxiety, life-trauma, and other negative impacts to physical and mental health. The rising awareness of these issues, in tandem with many peoples experience of the Covid-19 pandemic with its enforced changes to established live-work patterns, have led many to question how they live and work and to seek alternative, more sustainable, and ultimately healthy lifestyles. The project implicitly suggests a re-alignment of live-work balance, a reconnection with nature and a step away from the often-frenetic pace of modern life through the creation of a ‘home’, or a place to ‘dwell and to be’ within the context of a walled enclosure that forms part of a small island-based community.

Infant School, Camille Phipp

Second Year Studio Lead: Dominic Taylor

In Second Year, the design problems step up a little in complexity. The projects the students are asked to design are now non-domestic in scale and complexity. Understanding Context’ is now one of the most important Intended Learning Outcomes. The analysis of context and understanding how that analysis can not only inform the design but create Architecture that is much richer and more sophisticated. This year Second Year was made up of four main exercises: Exercise 1. Genius loci. - Housing Master Plan. This was a group project and was undertaken in groups of three. The students created a master plan for a new housing development of approximately 150 - 200 dwellings. The design included three community buildings. Exerc ise 2 The students designed a Community Hub building located within their housing scheme. Exercise 3 Construction and detail design. The students drew large scale detail drawings and made large scale detail models. Exercise 4 Environmental design. The students explored various aspects of environmental design as applied to their community hub designs.

The Healing Threshold, Zoe Leong

Third Year Studio Lead: Sara Biscaya

This year’s third year studio asked students to work across scales, beginning with a joint architecture and engineering project that explored civic connection, access, structure and regenerative landscape thinking. This provided an important foundation for the second project, where students developed more individual architectural positions through the theme of water, care and community wellbeing. The work represented in the yearbook focuses on Waters & Wards, set between Cathedral Close and the Harnham Water Meadows in Salisbury. Students were asked to design small but meaningful architectural interventions shaped by water, rest, reflection and healing, responding to a landscape rich in history, ecology and ritual. The strength of the work lies in the range of personal responses that emerged from this shared context: thoughtful, atmospheric, technically engaged and often deeply poetic. It has been a pleasure to see the cohort develop confidence in integrating site, material, structure, environmental thinking and human experience with such care and imagination.

Fourth Year Architecture BSc


Ted Happold Competition Studio Lead: Matthew Wickens

Located within the Cathedral Close in Salisbury, adjacent to Salisbury Cathedral, this graduate project proposes a new Nobel Peace Centre for dialogue, diplomacy, and public engagement. Developed collaboratively between final-year architecture and civil engineering students at the University of Bath, the project explores the relationship between architectural ambition, structural innovation, and environmental responsibility within a complex civic setting. The proposal will house the Magna Carta alongside spaces for international outreach organisations, research, public assembly, and cultural exchange, establishing a civic institution that operates at both local and global scales.

Conceived as a world-class peace campus, the scheme includes an auditorium chamber, museum and archive spaces, conference and research facilities, offices, a library, restaurant, café, public galleries, and landscaped amenity spaces. Central to the project is the idea of “dialogue” — between institutions and the public, between history and the future, and between architecture, structure, and landscape. The Magna Carta, itself a historic document of negotiation and civil rights, becomes both artefact and conceptual foundation for the project, informing an architecture centred on openness, exchange, and collective participation.

The collaboration between architects and engineers is fundamental to the design process, encouraging the integration of structural systems, environmental strategies, and spatial experience from the earliest stages of development. The project investigates how circulation, enclosure, and public accessibility can support interaction while responding sensitively to Salisbury’s historic fabric. Equally important is the integration of regenerative principles, positioning the building as a long-term dialogue with the future of both people and planet through a unified architectural and engineering approach.

the 13th century, when the Magna Carta was signed to empower the people over centralised authorities, the proposal brings the autonomy back to Salisbury. It does so by identifying 4 groups of people that will inhabit the building, each with their own space. The elderly exhibiting artifacts collected throughout their life; the youth starting their own businesses; postgraduate students advancing the field of biomedical research; doctors without borders preparing their volunteers for their missions in difficult zones. Each one of them is linked to the others in their own special ways. The elderly provide consultancy to the youth with their business experience; the youth invest in the talent and research of the postgraduate students. The postgraduate students provide medical innovation for the aid missions of the Doctors without Borders. The Doctors without Borders prepare for their missions with the elderly’s experience of difficult zones. The culmination of these connections is presented in our two exchange spaces: the seminar room and the auditorium, where successes are celebrated. Once a year, this takes the form of the Nobel Peace Prize ceremony.

The structure and environmental strategies of the scheme reflect the purpose of the building, with skylights and tree-like steel columns highlighting the four quarters in which dialogue is created. The brick fabric and inhabited deep facade combine local materials, offset after a 29 year carbon payback. The central courtyard serves not only to further strengthen the connection between the four spaces, but also to advance the environmental aims with rain gardens that mitigate flooding risks and relate back to the context of the surrounding marshes.

Liminal is designed at the intersection of education, community, and dialogue, mediating between Salisbury’s local needs and the Nobel Peace Prize’s place on the global stage. We envision our project as an opportunity aligning Salisbury-based educational NGO’s with the Nobel Peace Centre, forming a case study in partnership between local and global institutions, responding to the context and community’s needs. By elevating the building, the design frames a connection between the community’s history and its future aspirations. This raised platform preserves the ground plane as a sheltered public space for civic engagement, protecting visitors from the elements. The project’s composition and design accommodates autonomous blocks to be added, removed, or re-purposed, adapting with Salisbury’s evolving civic needs. Ultimately, the building acts as a flexible, and adaptable ‘liminal space’ that embraces Salisbury’s heritage and future, bridging local and global communities. 19

Conversation has been taken for granted. A recent series of events have resulted in a decrease in face-to-face interactions. The ability for anyone, no matter anything, to come and say whatever they want and be heard is the heart of our design. Providing this opportunity with an inclusive and accessible public realm to give everyone the opportunity to engage with the spaces that have been created. Our aim for this project was to create chances for people of all ages and backgrounds, to gather, linger, and have a space they feel comfortable in. This has been achieved through carefully selected materials, rooms designed with a purpose, and equal accessibility considerations. Our design creates a framework where peace is not used as a reminder of the unrest in the past, but is naturally formed, through understanding and clarity. Even a whisper can spark a change. 20

With its origins in Old Sarum, a fortress encircled by a ditch, Salisbury was later relocated to the valley below. The Cathedral became the centre from which the close and further development expanded in an ordered grid. The Magna Carta was borne as a symbol of Dialogue and Peace. It is envisioned as the first drop of water striking the surface of an ocean, sending ripples that carry love and peace across communities, places, and time. At the heart of the ground floor sits the Magna Carta chamber- a foundation for peaceful dialogue from which the Aula Magna: the Auditorium rises. In tandem with the Nobel Peace Prize presentation, the document is ceremonially hoisted into this upper volume, acknowledging how far peace has progressed and the contributions of the winning laureate. This spirit of dialogue extends into the plenaries held within the space: forums for knowledge sharing, urgent discussions on our planet’s future, and platforms for innovation. As a civic plaza on most days, it also hosts creative exhibitions and performances that celebrate Salisbury’s heritage and contemporary culture. It is from this core that the surrounding spaces unfold like ripples . 21

06 A Part Not Apart ­­ — ­commended Charlotte Choi, Shinyoung Park, Spencer Cheung, Evelyn Chui, Lewis Acott, Dan Heard

The notion of peace stems from the idea of inclusivity and safety. The proposal is for a Nobel Peace Centre that extends this idea of peace to the relationship between the manmade and the natural. A celebration of architecture and structure comes to life in this building. Developed from a need of spanning large distances, the east and west wings has a roof form of double arches suspended from a steel truss. This structure is internally exposed, and the truss holds the building services. The building uses poikilohydric panels, which are GRC panels cast into natural forms which promote moss growth through water retention. Green roofs and water attenuation profiles bring water onto the water meadows to the north of the site, promoting biodiversity and bringing nature back to humans. Think of the building as a tree: creating an ecosystem on the outside while providing shelter and function to the inside. 22

The Orchard envisions a building that encapsulates ideas of peace, dialogue, and heritage on a local, national, and global scale. Structurally, the 8x8 grid connects to the 4x4m planting of the orchards, reaching up through our building to form tree columns in the conference hall. Locally, our NGO ‘Allotments & Gardens Association Salisbury’ is central to our scheme, bringing orchards and planting to the Cathedral Close, as well as community workshops and fairs. The orchards conserve local heritage apple varieties, foster biodiversity, improve food justice, and provide spaces for encounter. Nationally, our scheme houses a seed bank, which ties our local NGO to national growing networks to collaborate on training and projects via workshops and conferences. Globally, our project forms a backdrop to major international events as a Nobel Peace Centre, as well as housing the Magna Carta alongside the Charter of the Forest - conserving cultural heritage for future generations. 23

The proposal creates a peace centre designed to host the Nobel Prize ceremony and house the Magna Carta, establishing a place centred around dialogue, reflection and exchange. Organised through a transition from public to private spaces, the scheme creates moments for gathering, discussion and contemplation, reinforcing the values of peace, community and connection. Responding closely to the landscape, the design integrates the natural and built environment through a flood-responsive strategy that enhances biodiversity and strengthens the relationship between people and place. The arrangement of the volumes responds to their architectural, environmental and structural requirements, creating a balanced composition that acts as a meeting point between communities, cultures and ideas.

Peace is no longer only a question of human conflict. In an age of climate breakdown, biodiversity loss and ecological injustice, the idea of peace must extend beyond people alone, towards the landscapes, species and systems that sustain them. Lucerna responds by proposing a new Nobel Peace Centre for Salisbury: a permanent home for the city’s Magna Carta, alongside the often-overlooked Charter of the Forest. The project uses these historic documents to question the relationship between power, land and public access, reframing their legacy through an ecological lens. The building is formed as two monumental stone volumes, held apart by a planted winter garden and natural auditorium. Within this central landscape, exhibition, NGO outreach and public gathering spaces come together, creating a place where visitors move from reflection to empowerment and action. 25

Octave Park is a new Nobel Peace Centre for Salisbury that brings the Magna Carta and contemporary dialogue together within a building shaped by its octagonal core. The form draws from the Cathedral Chapter House and becomes the organising element for circulation, structure and the wider landscape. Around this centre, a stepped sequence of terraces creates a publicly accessible rooftop park that rises gently from ground level to an upper amphitheatre, integrating the building with the character of the Close while offering varied garden types that encourage biodiversity. A reinforced concrete frame and waffle slabs support large adaptable spaces, including a flexible auditorium space, that will host the Nobel ceremony. Locally sourced stone cladding ties the structure in with it’s immediate built context and exposed waffle slabs demonstrate the construction with honesty. A glazed band around the octagon along with additional roof lights throughout create a calm internal space and brings daylight deep into the plan. 26

This proposal reimagines a Nobel Peace Centre in Salisbury by placing one idea at it’s core. A shared roof for shared dialogue. The architecture utilizes a timber catenary roof system where draped glulam beams act in pure tension to achieve an incredibly slender clear span without the need for deep trusses. This suspended structural geometry slopes towards the Salisbury Cathedral and creates a subtle tension between its historic autocratic governance of the city. Beneath the roof sits a separate structure containing the specialised spaces needed for negotiation, archive, research, and ceremony. With clear movement routes interweave to create gentle thresholds between public openness and private focus.

Continuum addresses world issues such as conflict resolution and sustainable development, using dialogue as the tool. The building is a reflection of the resident NGOs’ values (the Holcim and Kofi Annan Foundations) through: its honest, innovative and responsible design, its facilitation of dialogue between diverse groups of people across generations, and its adaptability to accommodate for present and future needs.The building’s arrangement is organised by efficient circulation and space typologies grouped together. We have followed the ethos of ‘build less, use more’, reflected through the adaptable, free-flowing conference space. The ‘box inside the box’ houses all the mechanically controlled spaces, such as the auditorium, exhibition (and Magna Carta), archive and plant. The choice to angle the inner box at a diagonal was to juxtapose the rectilinearity of the rest of the building and Salisbury’s wider grid-based organisation. The environmental strategies and structural approach of the building were designed to sit in harmony with each other and our scheme’s values. 30

This project unfolds as a cultural landscape centred around the learning and celebration of orchestral music. Reconnecting the city to its water meadows and historic heritage, the scheme creates spaces for rehearsal, performance, and education within a floodable and rewilded landscape that restores habitats and renews the ecological rhythms of the site. Designed to spark joy and invite new encounters with music, the scheme encourages everything from informal busking to outdoor performances and exhibitions woven through the landscape. Formed of three distinct volumes, the building offers a contemporary interpretation of the traditional architecture of Salisbury, translating musical rhythm into physical form through its cladding, windows, and sweeping roofscape.

Our narrative begins with dialogue and the high flood risk of Salisbury’s Cathedral Close. We interpret dialogue as taking action — the Magna Carta, exhibited in the Peace Centre, is a pinnacle symbol of this. This led us to having our building perform an action. Drawing on NGOs whose missions centre on water conservation and purification, our building’s action became water attenuation. To attenuate is to slow down or reduce the effect of something. We slow water through our roof, people through our spatial arrangement, and reduce the Peace Centre’s carbon emissions. The scheme is characterised by visible rain collection — internally through the central rain garden, externally through the curved pitched roof. Our landscaping addresses biodiversity through dry and wet gardens, informed by local insects’ preferences. As climate change reshapes our environment, the gardens respond to both present and future conditions. In summer, the rain garden opens, becoming a space where dialogue begins. 34

A project that reimagines Salisbury as a sanctuary for a new era of rights: rights not just for humanity, but for our planet. By uniting the historic weight of the Magna Carta with a forward-looking Nobel Peace Centre, we create a forum for Interspecies Peace, expanding our definition of justice to include the natural world. This ethos takes physical form through the creation of on-site wetlands, actively expanding the rare chalk river ecosystem unique to Salisbury.

The architecture itself is a manifesto of Circular Economy principles. Constructed from regenerative, locally salvaged materials - and defined by a facade crafted from clay harvested directly on-site - the centre functions as a space where peace-making meets future stewardship.

The Nobel Peace Centre is more than a ceremonial venue for prize giving or a museum celebrating laureates; it is a space that documents the journey of peacemaking itself. Recognising that peace is an abstract concept, our design draws on the metaphor of a “storm”, symbolising struggle, transformation, and healing reflecting the challenges inherent in the pursuit of peace. This concept informs the radial layout of the centre, with the main exhibition space, the Magna Carta Exhibition, positioned at the “eye of the storm,” offering visitors a sense of calm and reflection. The design amplifies the north-to-south green belt and creating a flood-resilient public park that guides visitors naturally into the central atrium. The centre also houses Peace Jam, an NGO providing educational spaces for young people to learn from Nobel laureates. Modularisation strategies in the auditorium and conference areas allow the building to accommodate diverse events, making the centre a dynamic hub for learning, engagement, and reflection on the transformative journey of peacemaking. 36

Interlude is a proposed Nobel Peace Prize Centre for Salisbury, designed to celebrate the city’s heritage while supporting ongoing cultural exchange. The building is designed to house the Magna Carta in a dedicated exhibition, alongside flexible spaces for our resident NGO: the National Youth Arts Trust. Our mission: promoting performing arts and fostering dialogue. At the heart of the proposal is the “Street”, a central social spine that organises the building into three interconnected programme blocks: the Auditorium, the Conference Halls, and the Learning Hub. Designed as an active, informal gathering space, the Street encourages interaction between young performers, local residents, and visiting users, cultivating exchange and dialogue. While major ceremonial events can be accommodated, the building is designed to remain active year-round, with spaces that adapt between everyday use and larger occasions. 37

Whilst a notable historical document for peace, there seems to be a collective amnesia about the contents of the Magna Carta, with only two clauses having modernday relevance. As a droplet forms a ripple, the Magna Carta forms the ‘start’ of ‘dialogue,’ rather than the final word. The heart of the scheme allows people to examine and interogate their view of the world, facilitated by archives and libraries, along with places for discussion. Salisbury has a history of notable milestones through architecture, this Nobel Peace Centre is an addition, giving the city a place on the international stage. Whilst respectful of predecessors, the proposal promotes a more resilient understanding of what the future could hold. We intend that our building becomes its own milestone, on a local and global scale, fostering new ideas and continuing the dialogue that both the Cathedral and the Magna Carta represent. 39

The Wool Hub is a craft, education and making centre in Salt Lane, Salisbury, reconnecting the city with its historic wool identity through a contemporary, low-carbon building. The scheme follows the journey of wool from raw fleece ro finished textile, with each strage of making arranged as a visible process for visitors to observe and understand. The project acts as an apprenticeship hub and an alternative form of higher education for craft. Learning happens through making rather than within a typical university model. Workshops, teaching spaces, library, exhibition, café and shop are organised around a central courtyard allowing wool production to become both practical training route and a public experience. Materially and environmentall, the building reflects the values of wool: softness, repair, reuse, craft and resilience. The scheme supports local skills while re-establishing wool as a living part of Salisbury’s cultural identity.

Salisbury lacks youth infrastructure and career pathways resulting in a ‘talent drain’ after formal education. The Growing Within plan responds to Salisbury’s age divide and rising youth unemployment figures across the nation. Wiltshire Youth Theatre is the flagship scheme for youth education and activity centres in the UK. Located in Salisbury, the building combines a Producing Theatre and Learning Centre that circulate around a Community Hub. The scheme aims to reconnect Salisbury with its major textiles production history by focusing on manufacturing through set design, prop making and costume making. Students are able to utilise a sustainable and inclusive environment where they can learn crafting and building skills in dedicated workshops. They put these skills to use to produce scenic design and costumes for their theatre performances. This prepares them for future, government-funded, manufacturing related apprenticeships in the local area. 48

The Reciprocity Building is a headquarters designed to connect people with nature through active ecological stewardship. Responding to the urgent crises of degrading biodiversity and declining mental health, the building acts as a threshold between urban Salisbury and the River Avon along the water meadows. Its living facade system offers terracotta habitats for nesting birds, pollinating bees, and creeping plants. At the ground level, the architecture opens up to invite hands on engagement with the land through seed germination, soil remediation, and chalk stream restoration, while a research level above translates this active fieldwork into long term knowledge. Materials from the site’s demolished buildings, such as crushed concrete and bricks, are repurposed to create varying topographies and soil profiles in a rewilded garden, forming gabion boundaries that orchestrate pathways into the landscape. Ultimately, this is a place where a generation that might otherwise inherit anxiety is given land, community, and a shared purpose to heal 49

Located on Scots Lane in Salisbury and proposes the redevelopment of the existing Salisbury telephone exchange site. The scheme focuses on addressing food inequality through a combination of research and growing laboratory spaces dedicated to developing more cost-efficient and sustainable methods of food production within the UK. By exploring alternative growing systems and controlledenvironment agriculture, the project responds to rising food prices and increasing concerns surrounding food accessibility and sustainability. Research is complemented by a street-front food market and public spaces at ground level, creating a direct relationship between food production, research, and the local community. The market encourages public engagement through everyday interaction with affordable and locally grown food, rather than separating research from public life. The project is also strongly people-focused, transforming a currently hidden and inactive site into a vibrant and accessible public environment that encourages social interaction, movement, and year-round activity within the city centre.

At the intersection of the sciences and humanities, anthropological research remains one of the pivotal ways we understand our past, interpret our present, and shape our future. Nestled in the foothills of Old Sarum, and situated in one of England’s most anthropologically significant sites, New Sorviodunum, Salisbury’s Museum of Anthropology aims to bring to the forefront what it means to be human. By combining research, education, and exhibition, the building seeks to shelter the ancient world, providing a sense of comfort and familiarity for objects that have endured the test of time. The building, the route, the artefacts, and the materials are all designed to persist, culminating at the Old Fort, looking over the city, giving people the opportunity to bridge the gap between then and now.

Salisbury is a historic city shaped by its relationship with diverse landscapes and ecological systems, including riverbanks and enclosed urban spaces. The city has been experiencing increased pressure on mental health and wellbeing, often associated with social isolation, work-related stress, and an ageing population. The proposed vision is to create a wellness and healing centre embedded within Salisbury’s urban landscape. Rather than envisioning a singular building within the city, the scheme operates as a holistic healing environment supporting physical, mental, and social well-being. The proposal creates restorative spaces that encourage mental awareness, sensory engagement, and self reflection. The design preserves the site’s mature trees, with buildings arranged around the natural landscape to minimise ecological disruption. The centre will be an inclusive sanctuary that strengthens community connection, promotes environmental awareness, and supports long-term health and well-being.

Music is a massive economic engine for cities. Back in 2013, a study by UK Music showed the industry contributed £3.8 billion to the British economy. The industry supports approximately 111,000 jobs. Music plays a role in attracting and retaining talent and investment in a city’s broader economy. The Sound Commons project is a multi-purpose music centre which will lead the development of creative district in Salisbury and establish itself as a cultural landmark. The project offers a range of performance spaces, a double storey music library promoting the public to experience, learn and purchase music. The community hall will be used by local artists and educators to host various workshops and events. The proposal stimulates creative collaboration between communities and create a dynamic social fabric in Salisbury.

There are 117.3 million people displaced globally, as of mid-2025, as a result of persecution, conflict, violence, human rights violations and natural disasters. The proposal is for a safe space for refugees and asylum seekers in Wiltshire, promoting social cohesion within the community through shared experiences of food, drink, games and activities. At the heart of the building, a community restaurant occupies the ground floor of the daylight-flooded atrium. Upstairs, learning spaces, wellbeing rooms and NGO offices provide a base for practical and emotional support for refugees and asylum seekers. The scheme uses an efficient glulam and CLT structure, with lightweight red cedar and recycled aluminium cladding. The building is predominantly naturally ventilated during the summer, while planted terraces and gardens create habitats for wildlife and help to manage water on the site. They also offer the building's users spaces for events, socialising, learning and reflection. 62

In today’s world where loneliness and mental health is becoming an increasingly important issue, creative outlets are important for people to express themselves and connect with others. The notion of uniting the community and the individual through music was explored through the user experience. The individual (a musician) is able to utilise the building as a hub for learning and practising, to performing, whilst the community are able to attend performances, then gain a glimpse into the work put in by a performer before they go onstage. The building is arranged to be centred around the courtyard where the ‘civic’ and ‘music’ elements meet, and a “contrary-motion” idea is utilised in the circulation, where the Community and the Individual experience the same spaces but in a contrary order to each other, celebrating the process of practice.

Youth have often been regarded as a by product in design rather than the focus. This becomes even more prominent in a historic city such as Salisbury where history and culture are prioritised and the next generation must rely on the existing facilities. This project aims to create a youth centre in Salisbury that provides young people with a safe, supportive, and engaging environment where they are treated as the primary focus rather than a secondary demographic. The intention of the project is to create a space that encourages curiosity, creativity, and personal growth by giving youth equal access to resources, opportunities, and support systems that may not otherwise be available to them. Through a range of social, educational, and recreational spaces, the project seeks to nurture confidence, individuality, and healthy development while helping young people transition into adulthood. Creating a brighter future means creating an environment where the the leaders of the future can bloom. 64

RetroFutures Luke van Eykenhof email: lukevane@hotmail.co.uk social: https://www.linkedin.com/in/lukevaneykenhof

This scheme proposes a retrofit-focused construction skills centre for Salisbury, promoting a more sustainable future through the reuse of existing building stock. Located beside Salisbury Train Station on the site of the former GWR terminus designed by Isambard Kingdom Brunel in 1856, the first phase adaptively reuses the Grade II listed building, restoring its façade to preserve its connection to the city and railway heritage. The project addresses two major challenges facing the UK construction industry: reducing operational and embodied carbon emissions, and tackling the construction skills gap. The hub will support retrofit training for tradespeople, create pathways into the industry for young adults, provide guidance on planning and funding, and encourage wider public engagement with sustainable construction. By making spaces such as the mock-up hall highly visible, the scheme reveals the processes of testing, making, and retrofit learning as an active part of the architecture itself. . 65

The project is a centre for the study, stewardship, and public engagement with the Wiltshire landscape, sited in the watermeadows on the southern edge of Salisbury. It brings together three of the landscape’s key custodians, the UK Centre for Ecology and Hydrology, the Environment Agency, and Wiltshire Council, alongside a public café, gallery, and function room that open the building outwards to the people of Salisbury. A timber and tile building lifted clear of flood level on a concrete piloti base, the architecture draws on the vernacular of the Avon valley, most directly the 19th century Eel House downstream. Two blocks sit either side of a courtyard, joined at first floor by a glazed link bridge. A boathouse at the river edge provides storage and workspace for the field teams of the Environment Agency and UKCEH. Built almost entirely from UK-sourced, low-carbon, and biogenic materials, the project asks what the landscape needs of it, and tries in every decision to give something back. It is rooted in the landscape it exists to serve. 66

‘We cannot reach a better future, if we cannot imagine a better future.’ We are currently facing the climate polycrisis, fuelled by disconnection from the ecosystems around us, from our agency as citizens, and even from one another. Centred around creating a more interdependent relationship between humans and ‘more than human’ entities [soil, water, ecology etc.], imaginaCtion explores what a space where people are enabled to radically reimagine the future of their community, could look like, through community-orientated design, and continuous adaptability. Internal and peripheral spaces are designed around the core principle of ‘assemble,’ defined as both gathering, and putting together or making. This periphery or ‘blur’ between human and the ‘more than human’ permeates the design, from a bioregional construction approach, to the facade acting as an inhabitable space. This proposal hopes to enable citizens - human and more than human to connect with their agency, and enact change at a neighbourhood, town and city level. What could we reimagine, if we had adequate infrastructure and resources? The Winter Garden

Grow the Building Will Roberts email: Willar2004@yahoo.com social: linkedin.com/in/will-roberts-9542b124a

British agriculture is at a point of uncertainty. Rising costs, climate pressure, and the loss of farming communities have exposed the fragility of the systems behind food production. For many, farming is now experienced at a distance, hidden behind supply chains, supermarket shelves and the growing separation between people, land and labour. The Salisbury Centre for Sustainable Agriculture responds by proposing a new civic role for the farm. Set within a working demonstration landscape on the edge of Old Sarum, the project combines sustainable agricultural teaching, agritech research, and community growing making the processes of cultivation, harvest, and making visible to the public. At its heart is “Grow the Building”: a material philosophy that understands agriculture not only as food production, but as a source of low-carbon construction materials. The building becomes part of the landscape it supports, reconnecting farming, ecology and community. 68

Located on the edge of Salisbury’s threatened rural landscape, this project uses pottery and tea as two longlasting programmes to protect land from further urban expansion by making the site productive, culturally valuable and ecologically necessary. The scheme reclaims construction and material waste from the city, transforming discarded resources into pottery, rammed earth and new forms of cultivation, turning urban waste into rural care. Tea cultivation and seasonal foraging work alongside pottery production to reconnect making with landscape, revealing where materials come from, how they are processed and the environmental systems that sustain them. At the centre of the project is the drying tower a living architecture that stores, dries and preserves plants throughout the year while housing tools and spaces of stewardship through recovering waste kiln heat to dry pottery and tea. As the operational and symbolic heart of the scheme, the tower makes visible the hidden chains of production and consumption that modern society has largely forgotten, reconnecting users to the origins of what they grow, make and use. 72

Architecture is currently a product of extraction, with buildings constructed from energy-intensive materials. In order to halt climate and ecological collapse, we must radically transform our supply chains, the way we build, and our view of construction's relationship to ecology. This project proposes a regenerative shift to a circular bioeconomy, where building materials are not extracted, but grown. Situated at the intersection between Salisbury's urban edge, industrial estate, and water meadow landscape, Home: Grown envisions a pioneering hub for circular biobased material research, construction skills education, and public engagement, with the construction of the building itself as a demonstrator of the regenerative potential of biobased materials to support local agricultural and construction networks. By integrating research-led innovation with public accessibility and educational outreach, this scheme aims to transform the future of the built environment, its relationship to ecology, and the vitality of the local community. 73

Forage

Elias Sopwith email: elsop@icloud.com

Forage Britain’s food system is cooked — import-heavy, wasteful, and disconnected from the land that could feed it. Forage offers an alternative. Rooted in Wiltshire’s agricultural identity, the scheme sits at the edge of Salisbury where city meets the Harnham Water Meadows. Growing, processing, and eating happen under one roof — brewing, baking, and fermenting included — cutting out unnecessary links in the supply chain. The site’s anchor is Fisherton Mill House, a surviving fragment of a Victorian mill complex. Rather than preserved as a relic, it is absorbed into the new scheme. The logic is the same as it always was: this land is for food production. Here, the process doesn’t precede the meal — it surrounds it. The process around the food we eat doesn’t precede the meal, it surrounds it. Diners are immersed and educated by foraging, observing, and eating. 74

The Repair Line Izzy Rogerson email: izzyrogerson@yahoo.com social: www.linkedin.com/in/izzy-rogerson-architecture

The Repair Line aims to relocate the Cathedral’s works yard to the High Street, transforming conservation from a hidden process to a visible public activity. Conceived as a cloisterlike transitional space, the proposal connects the High Street to the River Avon through a working yard, where visitors can engage with repair, responding to a declining interest in heritage craft and conservation among young people. The design reinterprets the Cathedral’s forms and details. Columns follow the imprint of the Cathedral’s clustered columns and are separated to accommodate walls, referencing the cloister arches inset glazing grooves. Integrated pipework emulates the Cathedral’s secondary Purbeck Marble columns, here serving environmental rather than structural strategies. Throughout the project, structural forms and shadows recall the Cathedral’s vaulted arches As a whole, this project aims to celebrate the process of repair, while integrating the Cathedral’s influence. 75

Food For Thought Maya Conway Brand email: maya.cb@btinternet.com social: www.linkedin.com/in/mayaconwaybrand

Positioned in Salisbury city centre, the scheme bookends and gives identity to an underutilised area of the city, redefining it as a civic centre for cultivation and consumption. The prevailing crisis of food insecurity is addressed through the interception of farm surplus from the surrounding agricultural landscape, but also through the commemoration of local growing over imported goods. The programme is split into two blocks: one that cultivates and tends the land, and one that reaps the benefits of its yield through dining and learning. Between them lies a prolific, biodiverse landscape planted with edible trees, shrubs, herbs and ground crops. Responding to the site’s flood risk, bermed planting beds and natural circulation routes create a resilient, accessible ecosystem, reinforcing the notion that healthy food is a necessity rather than a luxury.

The Analogue Sanctuary Samuel Fergusson

email: SamFergusson@outlook.com social: www.linkedin.com/in/samuel-fergusson

Across the UK, digital dependence is quietly eroding the social fabric of communities. At the same time, AI infrastructure expands at an unprecedented rate: opaque, distant and unaccountable. The Analogue Sanctuary is a response to both. As sovereign compute is designated critical national infrastructure, its architecture must evolve, returning to the scale of the high street, serving communities rather than expanding as distant monoliths. Sited at the heart of Salisbury, the project embeds a civic data centre within a public bathhouse, reinterpreting a third place for the digital age. The waste heat of the AI servers, captured through a closed loop system drawing from the chalk aquifer beneath the city, is redeployed to heat communal baths. In doing so, the Analogue Sanctuary challenges the environmental and social opacity of digital dependence, making the machine a tangible democratic anchor for community life. 78

Located in the heart of Salisbury's Chequers, this project revives the legacy of medieval weavers' and tailors' guilds as a circular alternative to fast fashion, centred on recycled textiles and regenerative fibres. The garment production process is openly displayed, with a south-facing loft for drying fabrics above the public corridor and a central storage atrium linking the tailoring and weaving halls functionally and visibly. An adjacent community building with artist studios overlooking a community workshop creates a feedback loop between master crafters and learners, echoing the historical guild model. The architecture mirrors the building's purpose through a woven timber roof with rooflights that bring natural light into the deep plan, threadlike steel fixtures, and corrugated flax biocomposite cladding that drapes around the entire building's form. 79

The Living Filter proposes a biofiltration necklace around the meadow to improve water quality and biodiversity, while the building acts as a smaller controlled version of this system: a field workshop that supports, monitors and maintains the biofiltration process of cleaning river water into bathing water. The building takes the form of a barn-like hillock, blending into the meadow through a façade made from reclaimed crushed brick, soil and cement. As visitors move closer, it reveals a more contemporary layer through the motorised folding steel shutters, which filter light, views and movement. Inside, dry and wet filtration workshops support the external beds, while the exhibition area and attic open space host public activities, learning, meetings and forums. 80

As people grow older, they are often excluded or overlooked by society. This can leave them feeling lonely and socially isolated, when, in fact, they have so much to contribute to society. Reduced social contact can decrease cognitive reserve and mental stimulation, thus making them more susceptible to developing dementia. This Day Centre provides a space where activities that promote brain stimulation and encourage meaningful social interaction can take place. This is especially relevant due to the progressive nature of dementia. Dementia friendly architecture is the primary design driver for the scheme, creating a comfortable and easy-to-navigate environment for those living with dementia. The Centre is split into a public and private wing, bridged by a central courtyard - much like how the project aims to bridge the social gap between elderly people living with dementia and the wider community.

Hamish Cumming email: cumming.hamish@gmail.com social: www.linkedin.com/in/hamish-alexander-cumming

The project is centred on transforming dairy waste into milk fibre: a forgotten material first developed in the 1930s.Through research, making and industry collaboration, it positions Salisbury as a hub for sustainable material innovation. Situated between road, river and rail, the scheme draws on Wiltshire’s geological divide and associated forms of production, bringing together histories of dairy, textiles and exchange. The building combines a pilot factory with an immersive visitor centre, merging public and private functions. Visitors explore Wiltshire’s dairy and textile heritage while witnessing the processes behind milk fibre production. The architecture becomes part of this research. Milk fibre is integrated into the facade, acoustics and insulation, allowing the building to express the innovation within while improving environmental performance. By combining heritage, production, education and collaboration, the project engages the community, attracts visitors, reduces waste and supports sustainable local economic growth.

Platform One Kevin Poisot email: kevinpoisot@gmail.com social: www.linkedin.com/in/kevinpoisot

Platform One is a circular cycling institute located at the entrance of Salisbury’s railway station, serving as a new building typology for the city’s transportation future. Salisbury is a historic city where narrow streets, rivers, and heritage make it nearly impossible to build wide cycle lanes or new roads. Rather than forcing in more asphalt, this social hub is dedicated to building confidence in riders from all backgrounds, enabling them to navigate the city’s existing streets with ease. The building itself is a model of the circular economy, constructed using reclaimed bricks, salvaged steel components, and decomissioned roads signs. Platform One works in two ways: it provides public workshops, training and wellness facilities for users while technical staff drive a materials reuse economy through research and repair of salvaged bike components. This approach offers a realistic blueprint to positively transform any historic city without disruptive new infrastructure. 86

This project asks how architecture can acknowledge grief as a universal, continuous experience and give it a more dignified, secular form within civic life. Set beside the former grounds of an Anglo-Saxon cemetery and enclosed by a Victorian boundary wall, the proposal draws from the site’s history & geology of flint and chalk. Long flint ruin walls structure the procession, slowing mourners through thresholds, open air and still water. Charred timber rooms hold the acts of waiting and condolence, before the route opens into a chalky lime finished chapel. Beyond the ceremony, the flint walls dissolve into a memorial park, allowing remembrance to and continue as part gremember commemorate of the everyday public realm. 88

Chalk was once an active material, carved and assembled into local buildings through generations of craft knowledge rooted in place. Now, climate change threatens chalk streams and quarries, workshops are disappearing and opportunities for learning diminishing. Salisbury represents a unique context where viable chalk conditions, a history of chalk and flint construction, and a sensitive chalk stream landscape converge. The project establishes a hub focused on chalk and china clay craft, reconnecting people with local geology. Three interconnected volumes step with the sloping terrain: for craft, education and exhibition, unified beneath a continuous roof and grounded by a plinth emerging from the earth like an exposed quarry face. The project proposes not only a new cultural centre for Salisbury, but a repeatable framework for reconnecting communities across Britain with endangered material traditions and landscapes. 89

Set within the existing trees of Elizabeth Gardens, the building meanders gently through the site, its radial form shaped by the sweep of the river and framed views towards the cathedral and surrounding waterscape. Moving between boardwalks, wetlands, workshops, and exhibition spaces, visitors are invited to experience the river through learning, making, and exploration within the water itself. A modular prefabricated construction strategy supports the building’s long-term sustainability and adaptability. This scheme seeks to heal the landscape it inhabits through the rewilding of Elizabeth Gardens. Wetlands, wet woodland, and flood-shaped habitats extend the ecology of the Harnham Water Meadows into the site, allowing the river once again to shape the character and rhythms of the landscape.

Ground & Grape Matthew Anderson

email: manderson410@btinternet.com social: www.linkedin.com/in/matthewanderson410

Ground & Grape proposes the reintegration of viticultural production into the civic fabric of Salisbury; a direct response to the disconnection between rural winemaking and urban consumption. The proposal is grounded in a critique of waste, confronting the water intensive nature of the vinification process through a closed loop hydrological system drawing from the Salisbury chalk aquifer beneath the site. Reframing the geology not as passive infrastructure but as an active participant in the production cycle. The organisational logic is inseparable from its material one; The vinification tower, a monolithic rammed chalk structure rising from the aquifer strata of the cellar to a public galley orientated towards Salisbury Cathedral. Chalk operates simultaneously acting as a structural system, thermal regulator, and spatial diagram of the gravity fed production sequence. The public ascend as the wine descends, collapsing the boundary between industrial process and civic experience. 99

House of Fibre

Nguyen Cao Quynh Anh (Sarah Nguyen) email: sarah.nguyen032016@gmail.com social: www.linkedin.com/in/sarahnguyen03

Fibre is any natural or synthetic filament that can be made into yarn, thread, or felt. The rapid growth of the textiles industry has lead to planned obsolescence, resulting in low labour costs and manufacturing products that are not made to last. Salisbury has a rich history of fibre going back a thousand years. The city at its peak was the capital of the cloth industry, but before that it was more known for wool - fibre it its raw form. Traditional fibre crafts were celebrated and Salisbury’s diverse creative identity has survived to this day. The House of Fibre aims to celebrate three fibre-related aspects that is unique to Salisbury: finding community-led solutions to the modern fibre waste issue, celebrating the city’s longstanding handmade heritage, and a Third Place, connecting people through craft. The proposal does so through a series of three ‘blocks’, each aimed at one aspect of the proposal. The blocks are connected via a street that runs through the site, linking the more peaceful riverfront to the busy High Street.

The Astral Aetherium Spencer Cheung

email: spencerchg430@gmail.com

The Astral Aetherium draws on the geometric brilliance of Stonehenge to emphasise Salisbury as a place for observing the sky. In response to a growing disconnect between the populus and scientific understanding of celestial objects, The Astral Aetherium proposes a civic space where astronomy is experiential and accessible to all. The building utilises the dimensional, alignment and proportional systems of stonehenge as the structural base. A sculpted concrete structure organises the building around a core central atrium, linking exhibition spaces, classrooms, research areas, and the planetarium. Across the site, calibrated viewing points and green roofscapes extend the project’s into the surrounding landscape, encouraging international visitors to engage with the building and wider Salisbury context.

The proposal is for a conservation centre that mainly acts as a working lab to provide conservation services to the Salisbury Museum and Salisbury Cathedral, and to host learning spaces that can introduce young people to the industry and heritage. Utilising the exisiting Market Walk, a major access route into the city centre, the building’s form guides people through the Market Walk whilst giving them a full view of the entire conservation process, from artefact cleaning to documentation. Corten steel is used as the main facade material, just as the proposal brings a new industry (conservation) into the historical town, this new material is introduced into a heritage site, interacting and coexisiting with the exisiting concrete structure to form the proposed conservation centre. The scheme aims to bring something new into the site, reactivating the site as a new urban hub where heritage and community meet.

Diana Borrell Ribes email: diana.borrell@me.com social: www.linkedin.com/in/dianaborrell

Harmonia provides versatile, inclusive spaces where people of all ages and abilities can engage with music. By responding to the needs of children, older adults, neurodivergent users, and disabled users, the proposal offers a fully accessible home for music-making and performance for the residents of Salisbury. At the heart of the scheme is a versatile performance hall with a fully retractable seating system, accommodating a wide range of musical activities and community events. An exposed glulam diagrid roof structure acts as a distinctive architectural feature, while providing acoustic diffusion. The supporting columns are rotated 45° to align with the diagonal beams, highlighting the roof’s geometry and structural expression. Clerestory glazing floods the hall with natural light, while large sliding doors extend the hall into the public realm, welcoming visitors and the surrounding landscape. The hall is clad in pre-oxidised brown copper to contrast and complement the building’s red brick facade. 106

Bloom

Manya Katyal email: manyakatyal04@gmail.com

As populations age and experiences of loneliness increase, the need for spaces centred around care, routine and community becomes increasingly important. Bloom is an intergenerational community centre located within Wyndham Park, Salisbury, designed to support wellbeing through everyday social life. The scheme combines healthcare, learning, gardening and communal activities within a shared environment organised around a central growing courtyard and landscape. Spaces are designed to encourage movement, chance encounters and quieter moments of companionship across generations. Through timber construction, environmental strategies and community-centred design, Bloom reimagines care as something embedded within daily life, creating a place for belonging, connection and collective wellbeing. 107

Harnham Wetland Research & Visitor Centre Simranjeet Singh email: simranjeet.singh1012@gmail.com instagram: simransingh_o2

The Harnham Wetlands Research and Visitor Centre is a proposed building set within the sensitive landscape of the Harnham Water Meadows in Salisbury. It is designed as a place where research, education, and public engagement can come together, helping people better understand the ecology, flooding, and historic management of the wetlands. The centre provides spaces for researchers, environmental groups, schools, local residents, and visitors, including laboratories, classrooms, offices, exhibition areas, a café, and community spaces. Architecturally, the building is shaped to respond to the meadow rather than overpower it, using curved forms, green roofs, a glulam timber structure, and glazed edges that open views towards the River Avon, the meadows, and Salisbury Cathedral. 108

Wellbeing begins in early childhood, peaks in adolescence, and continues into adulthood, making the first 1001 days crucial in shaping long-term wellbeing. As a child’s growth is shaped by family and neighbourhood conditions, addressing childhood also means supporting community wellbeing. The scheme proposes a co-located nursery and community centre in a deprived area of Salisbury for low-income households. By combining early-years care, family support, and community activities, it reduces stigma while reactivating the neighbourhood. A robust community block activates the street through an interactive facade, transitioning to a softer nursery edge facing the school grounds. Form and materiality reduce in scale towards the rear in response to children as primary users. A rainwater narrative runs through the scheme via gutters, rain chains, and channels, creating sensory play and revealing environmental processes.

Layers of Sarum Yuko Tan

email: tanjenyuko45@gmail.com social: www.linkedin.com/in/yuko-tan

Once a thriving Iron Age hillfort, Old Sarum now remains as a quiet landscape overlooking Salisbury, with much of its cultural significance gradually overshadowed by Salisbury Cathedral and Stonehenge. The traces of its past remain embedded within the earthworks and surrounding landscape. The proposal responds through an Archaeology Research Centre and Public Museum positioned beside Old Sarum. The scheme combines specialist laboratories, collaborative spaces, public exhibitions, event programmes, and a glazed walkway that allows visitors to observe archaeological processes whilst overlooking the historic landscape beyond. The architecture emerges through sloping roof forms, vertical timber cladding, and flint detailing inspired by the material history of Old Sarum. Through varying sectional relationships and moments of visibility between public and private spaces, the project explores the relationship between archaeology, landscape, and public observation. 111

Golding School of Literature & Theatre Beyza Kartal

email: beyzakartal01@gmail.com social: linkedin.com/in/beyza-k-301844270

Set within the historic fabric of Fisherton Street, the Golding School navigates the dialogue between preservation and exploration, repurposing an underutilised church as a vibrant, social gateway into a theatre and literature school. Upon entry, visitors are guided through a linear journey and experience the procession of a theatre production, where quiet academic spaces for reading and learning transition into high-volume workshops for prop production. This path culminates in a distinctive, 16-sided faceted theatre, clad in a red corten “crown” that mirrors the city’s historic context while establishing itself as a bold, modern landmark. The school is not merely a place of study and performance, but an active participant in the city’s cultural landscape, reviving the local heritage to create a lively, collaborative environment. From the timber-clad school to the external cloister overlooking the central courtyard, the Golding School celebrates the act of learning, making and the magic of performance. 114

Novus Forum Devon Abrahams email: devon_abrahams92@outlook.com social: https://www.linkedin.com/in/devonabrahamsbath

NOVUS FORUM (New Market) aims to give aspiring students and entrepreneurs living in Salisbury a place to express their interests and turn them into a business, whilst also creating a new landmark to welcome tourists upon entering the city. Inspired by Old Spitalfield Market in London by Foster + Partners, this covered market provides permanent shop units, flexible 9m-wide halls, and foldable stalls that can be arranged to suit activities ranging from artisan crafts and retail to entertainment and semi-outdoor dining. The project also includes an on-site wellbeing and study support centre for students and others running the market in addition to new open plan office space to host non-retail businesses. In accordance with net-zero goals set by Salisbury Council, almost all of the super-structure of the project uses low carbon materials sourced in or close to the UK including softwood and glulam frames, lime rendering, natural insulation such as straw bales and hemp, and local stone. 115

The Last Viridarch Joaquin Michael Ebba email: joaquinebba@gmail.com

instagram: no___no___yes___no

Seed vaults are most often found in the peripheries of cities and towns, at times in unlivable conditions for people. They exist at the margins because preservation has historically been treated as a logistical problem rather than a civic one. The chalk downlands of Wiltshire are among the most biodiverse and most threatened landscapes in the British Isles. Within a sinlge lifetime, intensive agriculture and land conversion have stripped these ancient grasslands of the overwhelming majority of their species-rich extent, a loss so profound that plants which once carpeted the Salisbury Plain in their millions can no longer be found there growing at all. This is not a passive archive but an active institution, harvesting the surviving downland species to be preserved, tested and cultivated, to understand how a disappearing landscape can be rebuilt from its own genetic memory. The Last Viridarch exists because a landscape is disappearing and the city it sits in has the obligation and the opportunity to be the place that fights for its future. 116

Brown Street Kion Chan

email: kionchan1018@gmail.com instagram: no___no___yes___no

Salisbury has three neighbourhoods that are in the 20% most deprived in England. This project, situated in the heart of the city and replacing the Brown Street carpark, aims to reintegrate the homeless and deprived back into society, to break the cyclical cycle they have spent their lives trying to break free from. The two buildings, the day centre and the wood?working workshop, is connected by a slender steel frame that holds a canopy above that can be opened and closed through cables. The centre provides facilities to elevate their well-being and education, and the workshop trains the users in woodworking, building homes for themselves and others. Under the canopy, the community and vulnerable are encouraged to interact with one another through general socialisation and a variety of events that will be held throughout the year.

The Encore Megan Lily Slom email: meganlyslom@gmail.com social: linkedin.com/in/megan-slom-970916268/

The Encore is a community learning campus for active older adults in Salisbury — a place to pick up the things life got in the way of, and to discover things that never occurred to them before. It is built on a simple conviction: that growing older should mean growing into something, not retreating from it. The campus is designed for the person who refuses to stop learning, making, and showing up, but whose body and social world have started to make that harder than it used to be. A retired engineer who always wanted to throw pots. A grandmother who never had time to read for pleasure. A widower who needs a reason to leave the house on a Wednesday. The Encore gives them somewhere to go, something to do, and someone to do it with. This is not a care home. This is not a day centre. This is a place where someone walks in on a Monday morning to try something new, stays for lunch because the conversation got interesting, and leaves at 120

Grace’s Place Milly Ducker

email: milly.ducker@gmail.com instagram: bymillyducker

Grace’s Place is a wellbeing hub for young adults who have been affected by cancer. It provides a broad programme designed around the specific challenges that young adults with cancer face, with both support and recreational services to suit whichever stage of their cancer journey the user may be in. The support facilities include a drop-in information service, emotional and physical therapies, and practical support with things like managing finances, jobs or academic work while going through cancer. The recreational facilities include an exercise studio and group activity space with organised classes and workshops. There is also a social lounge with games tables, a cinema room and a library to be used autonomously, where young adults can meet others going through similar situations. The building is primarily constructed with glulam and CLT. It uses a warming, domestic material palette to create a ‘home away from home’ and the opposite of a clinical environment. It is also well-integrated with the surrounding natural scenery to further promote wellbeing. 121

The day centre in Salisbury promotes healthy ageing, drawing on the principles of the world’s Blue Zones, where longevity is supported by daily movement, social connection, purposeful activity, and balanced nutrition. These ideas inform the spatial design, supporting both physical health and emotional wellbeing in later life. The central street establishes a clear circulation spine from entrance to a riverside deck overlooking the water meadows, encouraging movement and social interaction. A series of integrated gardens extends this route, supporting gentle activity and reinforcing a continuous connection to the landscape. The centre comprises three buildings shaped by function and context. The brick-clad Community and Kitchen building reflects local character, while the Riverside building is elevated on steel stilts to address flood risk, creating a lighter and permeable relationship with the landscape. 122

email: charmaineerinchu@gmail.com social: www.linkedin.com/in/charmainechu

THE ROOTS LAB is grounded by its three core principles: education, research and community, integrated within the scheme to create an effective learning environment that focuses on sustainable food and practical culinary training. Situated within a densely built urban environment, the scheme transforms the originally blocked off site into an engaging public realm with a new active street that interacts with the riverfront. The design repurposes the existing building’s concrete structural frame, adding steel frame to highlight its core teaching kitchens and student-run rooftop restaurant, to create a more dynamic frontage and roofscape. The building is cloaked with a mesh rainscreen facade to create a sense of depth that beomes active day and night. During the day, it allows passersby to catch small glimpses into the bustling activity inside. At night, the rooftop restaurant transforms into a glowing beacon, attracting local residents and tourists towards the new community hub. 126

ZEDhub is designed at the intersection of industry, education, and community, mediating between Salisbury’s local needs and the global mission to eliminate homelessness. Positioned on the site of a historic railway assembly shed, the project revives a legacy of manufacturing through a factory that produces affordable housing to stabilise the at-risk population. This project introduces the IBWA model to the UK, a methodology that provides individuals at risk of homelessness with the opportunity to design, build, and maintain their own homes. Architecturally expressed through four distinct wings: Production, Innovation, Academy, and Civic, the proposal creates a campus that serves as a public beacon for the community.

Salisbury Cathedral Workshop Department: The project aims to make heritage skills visible within the everyday life of Salisbury. It anchors itself within the city through its relationship to the cathedral and the renewal of the existing works department facilities. Functioning as an active conservation workshop, the project supports the repair and maintenance of the cathedral, undertakes work from the surrounding area, and provides spaces for apprenticeship and hands on learning. Through the practices of repair, reuse and material stewardship, the building demonstrates a low carbon approach to construction rooted in conservation. By preserving not only historic fabric, but also the knowledge and skills required to maintain it, the project safeguards the future of heritage crafts. At the same time, it improves working conditions for craftspeople and engages the public through exposure to the process of making, maintenance and repair. 128

Amongst our elderly population, loneliness is an ever growing problem. The proposal strives to tackle this issue, exploring solutions to social isolation in an elderly population. Rooted within its context, the scheme aims to provide the conditions to facilitate meaningful interaction, by creating spaces that are both familiar and understandable. Therefore the building is broken into four brick volumes, respectful of the contextually hierarchy, and more understandable in scale within the residential area. Creating a strong relationship with the community leads to the establishment of a distinct timber cloister, external to the brick volumes. This forms the circulation path throughout the building, and connects the four masses. 130

These visual links help reduce anxiety for more hesitant users, allowing them to observe activities before participating, and fostering a greater sense of comfort and inclusion. A softly curved roof encloses the building, creating a feeling of protection and calm. Circular spaces, developed through an exploration of curved and orthogonal geometries, act as focal points that connect different zones. Overall, the design and programme work together to support the idea of thriving, helping the Salisbury community achieve positive well-being. 131

A walled garden designed for physical & mental wellbeing, it integrates the land’s natural topography on the site leading a journey to the water-meadows of Salisbury. The building incorporates research, wellness and community by experiencing different courtyards along the journey. At each point along the journey, a series of courtyards emerges and engages with the user, offering encounters with different elements of nature while fostering sustainable habitats and ecological systems. Learning is a vital skill through the building, the workshops offer hydroponic gardening and herbal remedy classes for the general public. On certain days independent markets and events can take place through the building. Many of the spaces including the roof are suitable for food growth offering a community led space and additional good food produce to take home, with surplus harvest contributing directly to the restaurant kitchen to inspire seasonal menus. The structure of the building reflects a garden wall home design by expressing the reclaimed brick & timber structure. 136

The Weave is a multipurpose hub for young people situated on Brown Street in Salisbury, in respond to their underserved needs. With a layered approach, it serves the functional aspects of a market, a community and making hub, and a cafe overlooking the public square, encouraging interactions and exchanges. A tectonically honest and selectively expressive design approach has been adopted. The grounded brick facade for the market hall evokes a sense of civic robustness, whilst the timber fin facade above introduces warmth for the community spaces above. The uplifted atrium and its ETFE roof defines an anchor space which unites the scheme, providing ample daylight whilst reinforcing its central hub identity. The central staircase serves as a direct connection between the market hall and the top floor cafe, with the community hub overlooking into it. 138

The Craft Collective James Watts email: jgwatts13@icloud.com social: linkedin.com/in/james-g-watts/

The primary mission of this initiative is to facilitate the recovery and preservation of traditional heritage skills and building techniques. The project focuses on creating an inclusive, open, and healthy environment conducive to lifelong learning and social cohesion. The centre offers modular courses for reskilling and upskilling, or workshops and classes for people new to making. The scheme will offer facilities necessary for the tactile understanding required for high-precision manual work. By showcasing joinery in its exposed structure, it will both mirror and contrast the skills taught within. This scheme is an example of what can be achieved, and may function as a blueprint for heritage skill recovery centres elsewhere in the UK. By providing a space where the community can form connections through the shared act of making, the project revitalizes the city’s social fabric. It turns technical training into a communal experience, ensuring that the preservation of traditional crafts remains a collective, living endeavor. 139

email: yukta.chegu@gmail.com social: www.linkedin.com/in/yuktachegu

The renewal of this site’s historic purpose is driven by the urgent need for more significant, advanced material research facilities. Here, two seemingly disparate narratives converge: the revitalisation of Salisbury’s economy and the global imperative to address concrete waste and climate change. The East Goods Yard stands as a new global icon for a net-zero future - a place where quality and reliability meet playful, visionary construction. The design manifests as a high-performance sieve, a strategic filter between the raw industrial energy of the rail corridor and the refined civic character of Salisbury. Across the site, a series of landscaped thresholds act as environmental buffers, managing noise and runoff while inviting the public. The building itself is organised around a tartan grid, creating a rhythmic sequence of double-height halls and intimate rooms. This allows the scheme to operate as a living laboratory as the internal spaces and adaptive facade remain in a constant state of change. 142

Tim Rolt To my group of 4th Year students - it has been a pleasure and delight to tutor you through your final design projects. I have been deeply impressed by your attitude, work ethic, and professional approach in what is a very demanding and hi-tempo project – you have risen to the occasion and produced projects that exhibit an extraordinary range of creativity alongside great breadth and depth of technical understanding – well done to you all and I hope you enjoyed it much as I did. The conservationists and animal lovers, the chasers of Shakespearean dreams or celluloid stardom, the elderly and frail, or those requiring care, rehabilitation, and spiritual embrace in the wonderful City of Salisbury have been well served by you!.....we now need to raise gazillions of pounds to get all those wonderful projects built…. You have all come on a long, and hopefully rewarding, journey since you first stepped, bright-eyed and bushy-tailed, into first year studio (yes, I remember you back then…..and all your projects!) and you should all be very proud of what you have throughout your degree and especially in this last year. I wish you all the best for the future. Also, a big thank you to Mathew Wickens for organising the year – it would be chaos without you!

The Dance Box Aayush Saraf

email: aayushsaraf1503@gmail.com social: www.linkedin.com/in/aayush-saraf-

This project proposes a dance centre in Salisbury as a space for movement, wellbeing and community rather than a traditional performance venue. The building responds to a lack of accessible creative and recreational spaces in Salisbury, offering an environment that supports professional dancers, casual users, children and the wider public alike. The scheme brings together dance studios, social spaces and areas for rest and observation within an open architectural framework, encouraging dance to become part of everyday life rather than an isolated activity. The architecture is shaped by light, rhythm and movement. Double-height studios, viewing galleries and open circulation spaces create visual connections across the building, while roof lights and tall windows bring natural light deep into the interiors. Through transparency, shared spaces and flexible use, the project explores how architecture can support physical expression, social interaction and collective wellbeing within the city. 146

The Covered Yard Ben Learoyd email: ben.learoyd16@gmail.com social: https://www.linkedin.com/in/ben-learoyd-315b85320/

As a conservation centre, the building aims to provide a space for education on our built heritage and for teaching traditional craftsmanship skills, all for the broader goal of improving conservation efforts that are currently dwindling. This is achieved with three key learning spaces, being seminar rooms for classroom based education, indoor and outdoor workshops for a more practical approach, and a lecture hall for larger scale events. These spaces have been considerately designed for their layouts and structure to each serve their specific function. Meanwhile, these varied structures weave together to express themselves under one united clay tile roof, highlighting that although these spaces may have very different teaching methodologies, they can work together cohesively towards the same goal of education, all under one roof. 147

The Quill Cyril Li email: delectric21@gmail.com website: cyrilli.myportfolio.com

Positioned between Salisbury and the Harnham Water Meadows, The Quill emerges from the floodplain as a long, grounded form shaped by the movement of water, landscape, and people across the site. Conceived as both an ecology centre and environmental framework, the project brings together research, rehabilitation, education, exhibition, and public occupation within a singular architectural system that seeks to reconnect visitors with the fragile ecologies of the wetland landscape. Rather than separating architecture from nature, the building becomes embedded within the environmental processes of the site - responding to seasonal flooding, existing hydrological systems, and the gradual transition between city, garden, and meadow. Through its form, materiality, and landscape strategy, The Quill exists as a threshold between the urban fabric of Salisbury and the ecological landscape of the water meadows. 148

‘How can architecture coexist rather than negotiate with nature?’ As a community hub, the project encourages transparency of information and research, bringing together environmental charities, schools and the general public, manifesting as a gateway to explore Salisbury’s natural landscape. There are visual connections between staff and public areas, as well as opportunity for social connection through central shared spaces - the building works as an ecological system with all users supporting each other. Forms respond to two key bodies of water: the River Avon, and the engineered wetland channel. As it sits on a floodplain, water is allowed to flow or blocked where appropriate.

Young people are growing up lonelier than ever before. Years of austerity and the dominance of social media have hollowed out youth provision, fracturing communities and disenfranchising a generation. What can we do to fight against this?‘In the Making’ is situated on Castle Street, central to Salisbury’s emerging cultural quarter. The scheme proposes a Youth theatre for the Wiltshire Creative that works alongside their current venues: the Salisbury Arts Centre and the Playhouse, creating an Arts Corridor through the city. The form grows from the site, pedestrianising the street and creating a new public square at the heart. The massing integrates into the urban grain whilst articulating the hierarchy of spaces, from the theatre, workshops and rehearsal studios, a principle evoked through the tectonics of the roof structures, continuing Salisbury’s history of timber craft. The proposal aims to make the performing arts more accessible to young people, giving them the space to grow, connect and belong. 150

Mental health, and specificially illness, has often been overshadowed and misunderstood by our society. This project aims to design a safe space within Salisbury for those struggling with a variety of mental health conditions, from anxiety to PTSD. It is also designed to be neurodiverse-friendly, focusing on auditary comfort, as well as avoiding harsh colours and unavoidable textures. This project stems from a personal place, and an interest to use Architecture to improve communities and the people within them. There is a heavy focus on nature, both in the therapy methods, and the design - timber, specifically oak and walnut which are both found on the chosen site, is a key material across the centre and the heart of the design lays in the courtyard that acts as a focal point. There is an aim to destigmatise mental illness, instead bringing it to the forefront. 151

Within The Walls Subanya Weerasuriya email: subanya.arch@gmail.com

Responding to the rising elderly population in Salisbury, the Wyndham Park Wellbeing Hub is a dementia care centre paired with a public wellness facility. The two programmes sit side by side to normalise dementia care and make it part of everyday life. At the centre is a person living with dementia, still desiring connection and belonging, but conventionally responded to through isolation and institutional care. How do you keep someone safe without taking away everything that makes them feel human? The answer came from the site. An existing boundary wall ran along three sides of Wyndham Park. The building extends that wall, conceived as a walled garden — a protected interior world resolving the tension between safety and freedom. The building is a single cloister, split by a control line, wellness and dementia, divided but equal. The garden room sits at the centre as the integration point. A glazed corridor forms the wandering loop with no dead ends, always oriented to the garden. People move freely, guided by colour, materiality, scent and the ever-present garden. 152

FILMLAB

“There aren’t many places where production, exhibition, and public space come together like this. The new facilities could really support emerging filmmakers.”

Terry Siu email: terrysiu03@gmail.com social: www.linkedin.com/in/terrysiu

The project reclaims Salisbury’s former gasworks as a civic landscape for film, culture, and public exchange. Through phytoremediation, a contaminated brownfield is slowly healed and returned to the city, shifting from industrial enclosure to collective ground.

“Can we come here in the summer? I want to watch films outside!”

Conceived as a decentralised film studio, cinema, and exhibition space for independent filmmakers, it dissolves the exclusivity of contemporary production. Making, screening, and discussion are interwoven, embedding creative processes within everyday public life. Drawing on the memory of the former gasholder, once a vessel of containment, the architecture reimagines it as a dual-sided cinema where enclosure and exposure coexist. Film becomes both private spectacle and public event. By merging ecological regeneration with cultural production, the project positions filmmaking as a civic act rooted in openness, collaboration, and shared imagination.

Located on an island bounded by the River Avon on its south, east and west boundaries, the Earthshot Prize Innovation Hub aims to bring about the mediation of people, science, and nature, in collaboration and recognition of the environmental sciences. The core motif of the scheme is inspiring climate change mitigation. The building complex is split into four zones serving functions of providing public leisure, business facilities and education. The “education centre” is the central block at the heart of the scheme, containing research laboratories for ecology, hydrology and geology. An ecology park bounding the site to the east aims to create biodiversity gain through landscaping and the creation of habitat banks, serving as an educational space as much as an aesthetic one.

The project targets the problems associated with the ageing population in Salisbury and the strain on the NHS. A holistic resolution is achieved by a sports and leisure centre with an integrated health centre and pharmacy. This space improves fitness, furthers wellbeing and reduces health complications. The design prioritises a welcoming and inclusive space. Vernacular materiality, combining local stone and warm timber, creates a language of pavilions in a park. The project divides the external landscaping into two key character areas: a vibrant, open and energetic sports park, and a quiet, biodiverse and contemplative health garden. The structure integrates a deep steel-glulam hybrid Pratt truss, creating a carbon-efficient, long-spanning structure, with deep space for integrated services. High-performance heat recovery systems minimise thermal demand, working alongside optimised directional sawtooth roofs and on-site renewable energy systems to maximise efficiency. 157

Resilient communities come about when people have the resources and opportunities to pursue sustainable living in a collaborative way, sharing skills and knowledge. The aim of the Circular(c)ity Centre is to provide a place for this collaboration to take place, with a focus on helping locals to establish more circular lifestyles.

The building itself embodies the ethos of circularity, being constructed to be flexible in the short term, adaptable in the long term, and deconstructable at the end of its life. Materials are chosen to be easily re-usable or recyclable at the ends of their lives, and the building is detailed in independent layers that allow shorter life components to be easily replaced without destroying others.

At the heart of the building is a multifunctional lecture hall with an adjoining mezzanine and tapestry gallery, creating a flexible space capable of hosting lectures, ceremonies, exhibitions and public events. The conservation studio and archive provide dedicated facilities for the restoration, analysis and preservation of textile artefacts, allowing students and specialists to engage directly with conservation practices. Green courtyard spaces extend the internal programme into the landscape. The sculpture garden features installations inspired by historic textile machinery, while the planted areas include species traditionally used in natural dye production. The material palette and architectural language are carefully informed by the surrounding vernacular, creating a design that responds sensitively to the historic character of Salisbury.

Harnham Wetland Centre sits at the threshold between urban Salisbury and the Harnham Water Meadows, drawing visitors into the quieter ecology of the floodplain while improving the facilities needed to manage the health of its wetlands and rivers. Raised on steel pile stilts above the highest flood level, the building allows the wetlands to exist and change freely below. The scheme is split into three distinct forms called the exhibition space, research building, and café which reduces the scheme’s footprint. The thatched exterior weathers naturally over time and sits low against the horizon allowing the centre to belong within the landscape. In response to the changing needs of the seasonally flooded and ecologically sensitive site, the buildings are designed to be deconstructible with a prefabricated structure that can be dismantled and relocated or recycled. Powered entirely off-grid, the centre is not only a space for public education, research, and fieldwork, but a physical embodiment of what sustainable, light-touch construction can look like in a working wetland. 167

Three buildings form the scheme. A Victorian villa houses ecological practitioners. A new civic volume runs along the western edge, opening to the public with quiet learning on one floor and communal spaces on the other. A workshop is elevated on steel stilts, letting seasonal flooding pass beneath. The landscape is the principal teaching environment. Teenagers and families tend growing beds and an orchard whose fruit feeds local markets; seeds return to a civic seed store where neighbours swap varieties. Its timber frame, designed for full disassembly on GGBS piles, uses members from fallen Wiltshire trees, left exposed so the building’s making is part of the ecology it teaches.

Bath Annual 2026

Light Relief Katie Innes

email: katie.innes@hotmail.com social: www.linkedin.com/in/katie-innes

LED technology is the result of some of the most exciting advances in the lighting industry today. Light Relief looks to improve the accessibility of LEDs both at a global scale - by increasing its affordability through research, and at a local scale - by encouraging curiosity at all ages in the research and development process. The design features a Discovery Centre, taking visitors on a journey through the history of light, visbility into live research happening in the labs, and forwards into the future of where LEDs could go. Laboratories are formed within a reinforced concrete mass upon which a glulam timber frame supports all other functions. A scolloped brushed aluminium veil cloaks both buildings, making the facade itself a showcase of natural light - each panel guiding its transition from light to shadow. The labs and offices supporting the centre’s R&D follow an open-plan approach, ensuring adaptability for future use to meet the needs of new technology in a rapidly developing industry. 170

Amaranthine Olivia Harvey email: oliviaharvey.orh@gmail.com social: linkedin.com/in/olivia-r-harvey

Across the UK, 1 in 4 women have reported sexual violence since the age of 16. With so many barriers to disclosure, the actual numbers are likely significantly higher. Inspired by a long heritage of creative and resilient women within Salisbury, Amaranthine provides essential support and services to those impacted by sexual violence. Alongside more formal counselling spaces, a stained glass workshop offers a creative mode of expression, facilitating individuals’ reconnection with their personal identity, sense of self, and narrative. A non-institutional, holistic approach to healing ensures survivors are well cared-for. Choice and agency are prioritised throughout the building, whilst tactile and warm materials are anchoring, denoting familiarity and comfort. Visual and physical connection to the external environment is grounding, with a central courtyard at the heart of the scheme. Climbing plants create a dynamic and evolving façade which enhances the sensory experience within this sanctuary. 171

Wyndham Park Mixed Martial Arts Centre Rohit Raguraman email: nethrohit@gmail.com social: www.linkedin.com/in/rohit-raguraman-ab44912b3

Wyndham Park MMA centre is a building which provides state of the art combat sports facilities to train martial arts such as jiu jitsu, judo, kickboxing. It specifically caters to struggling youth by providing martial arts programs to reduce the increasing amount of anti-social behaviour in Salisbury. Given its park location, the building plan and form seeks to be as understandable and transparent as possible. This is achieved by using a tartan grid organisation system to clearly lay out circulation, service and main zones. Private and public zones are arranged by using the circulation zone of the tartan grid. The dojo is expressed as the heart of the building through a timber Vierendeel truss. The truss is made from 300 x 450mm 172

Remedial Waters Sarah McLaren email: mclarensarah15@gmail.com social: www.linkedin.com/in/sarah-mclaren03

Remedial Waters is a hydrotherapy centre which offers a sanctuary for people living with long term conditions. The scheme promotes this through a mixture of programmes, simultaneously providing a personal, reflective retreat and connections with the fluvial landscape. The hydrotherapy and community programmes are expressed through their own ‘pavilions’ which have a unique and independent form. The hydrotherapy pool is inspired by origami, to provide light relief and the community spaces have a domestic, asymmetrical roof. These are connected to a ‘support’ block, providing a comprehensive programme. The pavilions open up to the existing Elizabeth Gardens allowing a man made landscape to join from the river and flow between the proposed pavilions, celebrating Salisbury’s fluvial landscape and promoting a unique serenity, where water is the essence of the centre’s therapy and context. 173

The Smithson Series is a Public lecture series hosted at the University of Bath featuring leading architects at the forefront of design discourse and innovation. This year’s guests included RSHP’s John McElgunn, Foster+Partners’ Marta Tsigkari and Gianna Botsford, director of Gianna Botsford Architects, along with a distinguished group of architects from local and international practices. Named in honour of Alison Smithson and Peter Smithson, the Smithson Series recognises two of the most influential figures in post-war British architecture. As leading members of Team 10 and key voices in the development of New Brutalism, the Smithsons challenged modernist ideals by placing greater emphasis on human experience, social interaction, and the realities of everyday life. Their projects and writings explored how architecture could foster community, identity, and belonging, while their experimental approach to drawing, theory, and education continues to shape architectural discourse today.
