NTU Architecture Subject Group
THE UNA PROJECT
For the Nottingham Kayaking Club the centre opens up the sport to the wider community making it accessible and tangible for all. For the women using the centre it becomes a space they can transition through - receiving the help they require and utilising the element of community to re-integrate once more.
The architectural decisions allow women to be in control of their privacy, the re-introduction to community to be entirely in the hands. The services the centre provide also allow them to learn and help themselves by helping others. Together the two groups utilise the element of water, both for interaction and play, as well as therapy and some much needed relaxation.

BA (Hons) Interior Architecture and Design
Interior Architecture and Design at NTU has an incredibly long and rich history; with Interior Decoration taught at the first ever UK Art school, in the Waverley building during the 1950s.
Over the last 70 years, our programme has grown and adapted to meet the requirements of industry and social change, respond to trends, and deliver a degree which encourages students to look, think, critically appraise, and understand local and world issues amongst the principles of design.
We are a validated degree programme in which our students can join the Chartered Society of Designers, and we are members of the Interior Educators network. Our dedicated design studio in the Grade II* listed Arkwright building enables a studio culture which reflects professional practice, in a dynamic environment that challenges everyone to work collaboratively, share experiences and experiment with ideas.
