Tall Buildings at the Royal Academy

1 June 2011: DNC writes: A few months ago I emailed the students with information about the Royal Academy Summer Exhibition... and Phil and I are delighted to see that one group took up the opportunity!
The Summer Exhibition is the largest Open exhibition in the world, and includes architectural drawings and models.
The Manhattan Sky Podium group (the ones who came first in the public vote at Ecobuild) have entered their design and have their model displayed in the architecture room of the Summer Exhibition. This is Shreela Sharan at the private viewing, and the exhibition opens to the public on 7th June.

Introduction

The Masters course in Sustainable Tall Buildings: (STB) introduces tall buildings as a strategy for urban sustainability and densification for the 21st C. It explores advanced concepts of urban and social living, smart structures and systems, vertical landscaping, construction, and bioclimatic design for super-tall skyscrapers.

The course is the first of its kind, and runs at the University of Nottingham, England, and is accredited by the Council on Tall Buildings and Urban Habitat. The Faculty of Engineering decided to merge it with the all purpose MArch Design unfortunately (in 2015), but the taught modules continue.

In 2011, we took part in the Isover international student competition for the vertical Passivhaus skyscraper, New York, with three teams in the finals. In 2012, we had 2 groups of students as semi-finalists in the international CTBUH competition, one of which came 4th.

In the year 2013-2014, we were designing towers in Tianjin, Rotterdam, Singapore and London. Two of our designs won first and second prize in 2014, and we won first prize in 2015, with many teams in the semifinals.

In the years 2015-2016 and 2016-2017, we are designing 'Pocket Towers' in Wan Chai, Hong Kong, in first semester, and High rise clusters in London in the second semester.

This blog is about the whole Tall Building design studio, not only the STB course.

[Note for New Applicants: The course has now been merged with MArch Design. So you cannot enter as MArch STB, but if you complete all the credits required for the degree of MArch STB, you can graduate with STB degree.)
