There are so many positives: lovely people, great workspaces, supportive environment. My favourite module so far has been <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.york.ac.uk\/students\/studying\/manage\/programmes\/module-catalogue\/module\/YSA00006C\/latest\" id=\"https:\/\/www.york.ac.uk\/students\/studying\/manage\/programmes\/module-catalogue\/module\/YSA00006C\/latest\">Studio &amp; professional skills 1 &#8211; Demystifying York Analogue communication<\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">. This module is led by our Head of School <span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Lorraine Farrelly<\/span>, and Dean Ireland.  We get to meet with real-life clients and work on real design briefs. For example, we went to the York Sculpture Park where were given the design brief of creating an indoor artistic workspace, and we took a field trip to the site. Then over the course of the semester we developed designs using software (Revit) and models. We presented them as part of our end of module portfolio. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">We have also visited York Central, The Retreat and have met visiting professionals from Yorspace. Each company showcased different visions and motivations for their architecture. It gave great insight into how wide-ranging the industry can be.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blogs.york.ac.uk\/student-voices\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2026\/02\/dscf3322-scaled.jpg\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blogs.york.ac.uk\/student-voices\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2026\/02\/dscf3322-1024x768.jpg?resize=1024%2C768\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-34875\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blogs.york.ac.uk\/student-voices\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2026\/02\/dscf3322-scaled.jpg?resize=1024%2C768&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blogs.york.ac.uk\/student-voices\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2026\/02\/dscf3322-scaled.jpg?resize=300%2C225&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blogs.york.ac.uk\/student-voices\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2026\/02\/dscf3322-scaled.jpg?resize=768%2C576&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blogs.york.ac.uk\/student-voices\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2026\/02\/dscf3322-scaled.jpg?resize=1536%2C1152&amp;ssl=1 1536w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blogs.york.ac.uk\/student-voices\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2026\/02\/dscf3322-scaled.jpg?resize=2048%2C1536&amp;ssl=1 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Guest lecturers<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Dean also runs the external lecture series for the YSA where we have had multiple guest lecturers. It&#8217;s a wonderful opportunity to mingle and network with members of the public and architecture professionals. <\/span>The lectures are held in our brand new studio space.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Studio work<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">In our design studio, we each have our own desk and workspace. It&#8217;s just one of the many spaces YSA has. We also have the workshop for modelmaking, with a range of tools like laser cutters and a CNC (Computer Numerical Control<\/span>) <span style=\"font-weight: 400\">machine. We also have the BIM <span style=\"font-weight: 400\">(building information modeling) <\/span>suite. This suite has high-end computers for running design software. We have CAD software workshops in here!\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Some of the projects we have worked on include wearable architecture, making a chair out of cardboard, and our current project &#8220;The Nest&#8221;. We have to create a space for a single person with any function we like. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">All our modules have review sessions with the academics. They&#8217;re great for getting feedback and learning our strengths, but also areas we could develop further. They can be tough to sit through sometimes, but you come away with ideas of how to grow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">York&#8217;s architectural history<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Finally, there&#8217;s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.york.ac.uk\/students\/studying\/manage\/programmes\/module-catalogue\/module\/YSA00005C\/latest\">Architectural Humanities 1 &#8211; Architecture in Settlements &amp; Cities<\/a>. This one is more theory based, but fascinating. We worked on a project mapping historic York, where we looked at groups of historic buildings in the city. I looked at Lady Row (the oldest street in the UK), the Roman Bathhouse and Holy Trinity Church. This project helped me explore York through a different lens, the information did come in handy on nights out as well to help us find our bearings! <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Conclusion<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The tutors and lecturers are very supportive and I have found my own little community! All my course mates are so lovely. The lecturers are lovely and the space is lovely<\/span>!<span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> I would easily recommend this course to anybody interested in architecture.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p
