Tracing Belfast’s Water: new materialist interventions in infrastructure and design
In this book, Tracing Belfast's Water, we seek to make visible the buried histories, geographies, infrastructures, and architectures of water in Belfast by tracing the water network, unearthing its contents, mapping its history, allowing it to reflect back our cultures and built environments. Water, and the infrastructure that delivers and disposes of it, is a taken-for-granted resource: it is infra (meaning invisible)- structure. Employing New Materialism theories, including more-than-human geographies, to architectural design and co-production we explore climate change related future flooding, lead exposure via lead water pipes, the history of water plumbing in Belfast, water scarcity, oral histories of the docks, and filmic reflections of the Lagan River.
Rethinking the Crit
Assessment in architecture and creative arts schools has traditionally adopted a ‘one size fits all’ approach by using the ‘crit’, where students pin up their work, make a presentation and receive verbal feedback in front of peers and academic staff. In addition to increasing stress and inhibiting learning, which may impact more depending on gender and ethnicity, the adversarial structure of the ‘crit’ reinforces power imbalances and thereby ultimately contributes to the reproduction of dominant cultural paradigms. This book critically examines the pedagogical theory underlying this approach, discusses recent critiques of this approach and the reality of the ‘crit’ is examined through analysis of practice. The book explores the challenges for education and describes how changes to feedback in education can shape the future of architecture and the creative arts.
The Year Of The Flood
By the author of The Handmaid's Tale and Alias Grace The sun brightens in the east, reddening the blue-grey haze that marks the distant ocean. The vultures roosting on the hydro poles fan out their wings to dry them. the air smells faintly of burning. The waterless flood - a man-made plague - has ended the world. But two young women have survived: Ren, a young dancer trapped where she worked, in an upmarket sex club (the cleanest dirty girls in town); and Toby, who watches and waits from her rooftop garden. Is anyone else out there?
Small Group Teaching
This comprehensive guide for new university teachers brings together straightforward and practical advice on small group teaching alongside examples of practice across disciplines. Written in a highly accessible style, it covers topics such as the foundations of small group teaching; methods and techniques; and advice on inclusive and non-discriminatory practice. Now fully updated, this new edition also takes into account changes in technology and the expectation of students, includes examples of practice from a variety of institutions, and offers learning resources and reading suggestions throughout.
Emerging Practices in Architectural Pedagogy
Emerging Practices in Architectural Pedagogy explores the emergent techniques in architectural education that are helping to bridge the gap between the institutional setting and working practice. It demonstrates how teaching and learning can, and should, be directed towards tackling the real-world problems that students will encounter within their professional careers. Architectural and design practitioners are becoming less specialised, they are embracing cross-disciplinary connections and practical problem-solving. Architecture and design schools must align their teaching to reflect this changing world, and evolve from a fact-based acquisition process to a participatory method of learning....
Black Out
Just when you think you have nothing left to lose… In the exciting conclusion of White Out, Book 11 of the Irish End Games brings Mike and Sarah to a place they never thought they’d see. Stranded on a remote island in the Atlantic Ocean with no food, no electricity, and a once-in-a-hundred-year blizzard bearing down on them they not only find out just how alone they are in the world—but how treachery from those nearest and dearest is the most crushing loss of all. Pitting their strengths together—former foes and long-lost loved ones—they must once more come together to do the impossible if any of them are to see another sunrise.

A Nest of Idle Puppets
Little Larch seems, at first glance, a perfectly ordinary place. The children are well-behaved and the scenery is beautiful. But look closer, you won’t have noticed this before: Little Larch is ruled by a prejudiced tyrant whom everybody calls the Mayoress. The hierarchy is divided into three primary groups—the plebeians, the commoners; the neutral ones, who refuse to pick a side; and the patricians, the upper-class pseudo-nobility, who will do everything in their power to keep the Mayoress in power. Then there’s Hildegard, whose plebeian family is just like any other. Hildegard, under normal circumstances, wouldn’t have considered trying to change the social hierarchy. She knows onl...
