This week two of our alumni visited the school to give a talk to 3rd year BArch students and also to help with 5th year studio reviews.
Tom Butler-Weeks and Liam Swaby, two of our best MArch students, have been active supporters of the school since they graduated in 2017. Their talk was about their experience in Lincoln, outlining their own research and design journeys in years 4 and 5. They encouraged students to develop personal interests which may become a basis for further research and establish the foundations for studio projects – a creative freedom the MArch in Lincoln allows. They also pointed out that it is necessary to build extracurricular interests into student life, even during most pressured moments.
This is the second year of Tom and Liam’s involvement with the school. Students find their feedback in crits to be most helpful, because their practical advice is sensitive to each development stage of design.
We are fortunate and thankful to have such enthusiastic, knowledgeable and dedicated graduates, whose contribution is appreciated by all.
