- Constance turning like Joseph.

- Constance qui keep on going vers le vdf sur la fin. Vous me ferez pas croire que c'est la première fois que ça arrive. Sa hatred personnelle devenue plus grande puis qui a dégénéré, et pourtant elle continue d'aller vers lui, même si elle le cache sous des baffes. Et lui continue d'être désolé pour elle.

ESALA presents 10 student architecture and landscape projects

This VDF school show by Edinburgh School of Architecture and Landscape Architecture features 10 student projects, including a hub for upcycling low-value materials and a proposal that reimagines the purpose of Times Square.

The projects were all completed by students enrolled on one of the four architecture- and landscape architecture-focused courses at the Scottish school, which forms part of the Edinburgh College of Art and the University of Edinburgh.

Edinburgh School of Architecture and Landscape Architecture (ESALA)

School: ESALA, University of Edinburgh Courses: Architecture BA/MA (ARB/RIBA Part 1), Architecture MArch (ARB/RIBA Part 2), Landscape Architecture MA, Landscape Architecture MLA

School statement:

"ESALA is one of the very few schools, internationally, to connect research and practice in Architecture and Landscape Architecture. Benefitting from being part of both Edinburgh College of Art (ECA) and the University of Edinburgh, ESALA offers a rich range of undergraduate and postgraduate programmes that include those professionally accredited by the Royal Institute of Architects (RIBA), Architects Registration (ARB) and the Landscape Institute.

"A series of detailed ESALA Catalogues have been produced to showcase both the extraordinary student work and the creative pedagogic approaches of the professional programmes and studios. They accompany the ECA digital exhibition Summer 2020."

Errol Community Pottery and Weaving Centre by Katie-May Munro

"Culture and community are brought together in a hybrid design of living and working environments. The design explores a regenerative approach for small Scottish towns, investigating place-making, attitudes of privacy, interaction and communality through internal and external gathering spaces.

"The building is rooted by its earthen materials of timber and brick. Errol's quirky local typologies are explored and developed: kiln tower, rural home and vernacular structure. Successional outdoor rooms encourage a wider appreciation of landscape and nature. The thematic strands of sculpting, weaving and joining are integrated within the structural design, the permanence of the architecture and the fluid landscaping approach."

Urban Ca[r]talyser by Sonakshi Pandiy

"The project degrows Edinburgh's Craigleith Retail Park into a hub for upcycling low-value materials into architectural components. Hacking the site's retail infrastructure, the proposal reintroduces public space and pedestrians to the site. Finding value in existing elements on-site, the project upcycles 950 shopping carts found on-site into 'gabion-carts,' utilising their affordances to construct transformable structural walls that can be climbed, seated on, played with and used to store goods.

"The invention of a gabion-cart trombe wall-system passively heats the building. The ability to grow gabion-carts with rubble from demolition works weaves the tectonic system into Edinburgh's material networks, prototyping the diversion of low-value material streams, whilst promoting reuse and upcycling as degrowth methodologies for architecture."

The Sitopian City by Qamelliah Nassir

"The Sitopian City is a sustainable community that bases the philosophy of food sustainability and equality to the life that occurs within the complex, helping those who enter find nourishment in their day and in their life.

"It stems from the belief that food is not a luxury item, but an essential part of life that deserves a central role in society. Sitopia focuses on the rituals of food growing and transformation consumption and takes on a hybrid nature as dwellers, growers and gastronomists are able to be a part of every aspect of food production, transformation, consumption and distribution."

Harrison's Workshop (ii) by Rishabh Shah

"Harrison's Workshop (ii) is a landscape and architectural proposal that addresses the intricate political, social and environmental challenges attending upon a turbulent political climate, where the relevance of the United Nations in the 21st century has been called into question.

"Named Pangaea, the last supercontinent, the thesis offers a landscape of a multifaceted, critical and highly charged neighbour, housing laboratories of change beside the existing UN campus today. In this case, the term laboratories refers to more than a scientific research room. Instead, it alludes to a testing ground for social and environmental concerns that have been marginalised by United Nations."

Re-Dressing an Illuminated Spectacle by Eireann Iannetta-Mackay

"This project articulates a landscape that reconfigures Times Square's iconic digital signage through a redressing that spaces the digital language away from the existing facades to allow another world of inhabiting to happen between the thicknesses.

"With the iconic Statue of Liberty watching over the city as the Mother of Exile, this proposal also smuggles architectures into the shells of the square's existing buildings, giving houses for performers and creatives who are exiled from their own. An archipelago of performance spaces reinterpreting the notion of an illuminated spectacle given over to the pleasure of consumption and the consumption of pleasure."

(Un)doing Thresholds by Joseph Coulter, Eirini Makarouni, Katerina Saranti and Katy Sidwell

"(Un)doing Thresholds explores the temporalities and architectonic specificities of porous conditions of Naples, where undoing is presented through Andrew Benjamin as a productive conception of urbanity; one in which porous architectures are undone, drawn through one another, in a constructive overwriting founded in the immediacy of the city.

"Exploring architectures of ruin, labyrinth and theatre, be they programmatically labyrinthine or theatrical, or materially or spatially so, the thesis considers their interpenetration: each space becomes a threshold to another space. It promotes the expression of presence in the city, gathered in collectivity, that takes possession of space as a protagonist in constructing an experience of Naples that goes beyond the control of fixed political and historical representations of the city."

7 Gates by William Maddinson and Murray Livingston

"Our research, initiated through the making of a Camiño map-book, brings to light the disparate relationship between Santiago's city centre and its landscape. The project seeks to give agency to the productive landscape, to place it in the present moment, mobilised by sedimentation of Santiago's history and an eye to the future.

"Using water as a connective principle, 7 Gates proposes a publication assemblage along a new 7th route into the city for the production of Camiño para-books. More specifically, the photographer's studio and gallery and bookbinder's workshop are sited within existing structures of the old town and therefore speak to sensitive, locational specificity, while the Timber Mill forms a new material threshold on the city's outskirts (the canopy of a Eucalyptus forest).

"These buildings, therefore, play out a tension between ecstatic expansion and contraction across scales within the larger productive landscape – each building is an architecture of ecstasy, re-mobilising the wet-scape of Santiago."

Reimagining Urban Landmarks by Yanqin Pan

"This landscape architecture design project seeks to embody a change in attitude towards future urban development by embracing the concept of degrowth and exploring the implications of this approach for the discipline of Landscape Architecture.

"The project seeks to redefine the relationship between landmarks and the urban environment by shifting impetus from the landmark as a demonstration of power, wealth and status towards new forms of spatial and compositional typologies that can meaningfully contribute to enhanced socio-environmental development in the city of Oslo. The design explores a renewed experiential relationship between the physical elements of this stretch of urban coastline."

Future Croft by Anna Reid

"This project considers how the human occupation of landscapes and more-than-human actions can be brought into dialogue in the context of landscape stewardship and landscape design in the Scottish Highlands. This project investigates the future of crofting communities within the context of pressing contemporary local, national and global scale challenges.

"Initial exploratory work considers the intrinsic links between humans and non-humans before imagining how the consideration of more-than-human relationships underpinned by socio-ecological values might shape the landscape through future small scale agriculture and land tenure practices. Together the project highlights the importance of a community who socially and ecologically collaborate to sustain the land for future generations."

The City's Wet Plate by Jennifer Fauster

"Situated at the threshold of Manhattan's geologic, aqueous, and ecologic intersection – the neighbourhood of Canal Street – a 'scapeland' emerges. This speaks of an attempt to compress the wider landscape memory of the hydrological flooding events and ecological entities, into a hybrid landscape that provides favourable conditions for the re-emergence of island-like communalised open spaces.

"Empowered by a temporal cartographic method of flooding, fixing, photographing and exposing, it not only lays bare the city's ecological, hydrological and cultural dysfunctions but offers these new island conditions – a scapeland of measure and exposure where Manhattan's discrepancies transform into reservoirs, perforating the ground and issuing forth a new aqueous city reality, a place of register and containment operating in positive co-existence."

The Cheese Geek is a online cheesemonger that has been set out to provide the best quality cheeses with a click of a button. The man behind this innovative concept is Edward Hancock. He formed the company in 2017 in his home and realised it was more than a hobby and he moved into the first business premises a year later.

Prior to setting up The Cheese Geek, Edward was a fund manager, building algorithms for systematic funds, and it was this technological understanding that he applied his knowledge in creating an algorithm to allocate cheese to subscribers. He loved the idea of his subscribers getting the opportunity to learn more about what they were eating and also having access to the condiments that would go best with them.

This subscription box is like no other, they take pride and joy in getting your cheeses delivered fresh  and right to your door. They use sheep wool, a bi-product which is environmentally friendly – with no plastics or polystyrene – which maintains the right temperature for 48 hours after they chill it.

The Cheese Geek not only brings you the freshest cheeses but they also hold events as well; from small group blind tasting experiences, dinner parties and cheese and wine tastings, to weddings or corporate events of all shapes and sizes, they can provide everything you need. We had the pleasure of being invited to their ‘meet the cheese geek’ Christmas event last month, where we tried their Christmas cheeses. On arrival Edward greeted us at the door holding a tray of Tunworth cheese on honey glazed crackers- a delightful taster.

There were two tables set out one with a display of condiments and the other with a lot of tasty looking cheeses. We started off the evening with 8 different hard cheeses:

Mrs Kirkhams Lancashire – buttery, nutty, yoghurty. Sparkenhoe Red Leicester – smooth, nutty and buttery. Lancashire Bomb – strong, nutty and creamy. Montgomery’s Cheddar – crumbly, hard, grainy, aromatic, strong with a long finish. Keens Cheddar – strong, tangy cheddar with a mellow depth of flavour. Comte – fudge, Butterscotch, Toasted Hazelnuts. Vintage Poacher – tangy, nutty, melted butter on toast. Truffle Pecorino – Milky nuttiness, bordering on sweet caramel, with an earthiness emphasised by the truffles.

  We were given the chance to create our very own dream cheeseboard! To create our ultimate cheeseboard, we had to choose 5 of our favourite cheeses, this was pretty easy for my sister and I as we had pretty much the same taste! From the first 8 cheeses we chose the Bomb we just both loved how crumbly and creamy the taste and texture was, mouthwatering just thinking about it. Our second choice was the Truffle Pecorino with its milky and truffle taste we just wanted more.

Whilst we were trying the cheeses, Tatty from ‘The Wine Down’ passionately described which wines would go with what. She had bought 5 different wines:

Tapiz Torrontes Extra Brut Muscadet de Sevre et Maine Sur Lie 2018 Domaine de la Tourmaline Edelzwicher Special Cuvee, Joseph Cattin 2017 Oliver Dubois Cuvee Prestige Pinot Noir 2017 VdF Royal Tokaji Late Harvest 2016

Next up on the cheeses were some of their soft cheeses:

Baron Bigod – buttery indulgence, smooth mushroom earthy-ness Bath Soft – brie-style, creamy, mushroomy with a hint of citrus Brie de Meaux – mushroom, damp leaves, butter Tunworth – mushroom, butter, cabbage Vacherin – creamy, smokey, decadent and gooey Epoisses – butter, silky, creamy

  From the soft cheese selection we chose our all time favourite Tunworth and Epoisses. Both different from each other but very delicious and addictive. Next were the blue cheeses, which paired nicely with ‘Royal Tokaji Late Harvest 2016’ a dessert wine. The sweetness of the wine brings out the salty flavours in the blue cheese, making them a great pair.

  Beauvale – creamy, mellow, salty spice Cropwell Bishop Blue Stilton – nutty caramel sweetness with a clean finish Burt’s Blue – Butter, Cream Shropshire Blue – Salt, Spice, Musty

For our final cheese we chose the Shropshire Blue – the best one we thought out of the blues. It was mouthwateringly good.

After choosing our favourite 5 we all moved to the table with all the condiments. There was a lot of fruit and herbs to choose from, to create our ultimate Christmas cheeseboard.

We thoroughly enjoyed ourselves and learnt a lot about the cheeses and tasted great wines. This is a great gift for someone special this Christmas, or if you fancy treating yourself – we highly recommend, you won’t regret it!
