In Situ: Architecture, Planning and Landscape Degree Show 2025
10th June 2025
This year’s Architecture, Planning and Landscape Degree Show at Newcastle University, explores the theme of In Situ.
The show includes hand and digital drawings, models, installations and material prototypes where the students have explored design proposals that benefit local communities, and environments. Their exhibits engage with heritage sites, regenerate existing structures, repair industrial landscapes and provide bottom-up planning to improve community engagement.
The exhibition is celebrating 75 years of Landscape at Newcastle University, through a Landscape 75 retrospective. It also features work from the first graduating cohort of the Master of Architecture and Urban Planning (Architecture) programme, a new route for students who want to combine a cross-disciplinary, socially engaged understanding of the built environment with professional qualification in architecture.
Dr Samuel Austin, Director of Architecture in Newcastle University’s School of Architecture, Planning and Landscape, said: “Our annual degree show is a fantastic opportunity to see students’ imaginative, critical, and technically resolved proposals, which respond to diverse contexts and urgent societal challenges across the north east and beyond.
“We’re looking forward to opening up our studios to celebrate the incredible hard work and dedication of students, as well as all academic, technical, practice and professional service colleagues who have supported them throughout the year. This is a great moment for graduates to share their skills and achievements with friends and family, as well as prospective employers.”
The show also includes a selection of work from design and research projects across other years of our undergraduate and masters programmes.
The Degree Show opening night is 5.30pm to 8pm on Friday 13 June and the Show will then be open weekdays between 9am and 5pm from 16 to 30 June in Newcastle University’s Architecture Building.
