The weekend saw the first two stages of the Tour de Suisse Women, with immediate action out of the gate. The first stage was relatively short, with a mountaintop finish, something we don't see in stage racing very often. And we were rewarded with some real fireworks, ignited by Elise Chabbey (Canyon-SRAM) at the top of the Col de la Croix. She took the mountains points, and just kept on going, launching what became a 50km solo attack.

Chabbey kept her lead through the Rhône valley, which eventually forced SD Worx-Protime to put Femke Gerritse and European champ Mischa Bredewold on the front to do big turns to narrow the gap before the lower slopes of the Villars-sur-Ollon climb. Demi Vollering herself had to start pacing, and eventually got some help from Gaia Realini (Lidl-Trek). Those two proved to be the strongest of the climbers in the bunch, and eventually they both launched to chase down Chabbey, working pretty well together. Chabbey was caught around the QOM point, but not before she secured the QOM points jersey. (She fought to the end and finished third on the stage.) Vollering and Realini continued on together, until Vollering attacked just before the flamme rouge, dropping Realini and taking the stage victory.

We were cheering for Chabbey, to be honest, after such a gutsy performance, but Vollering is definitely the best climber in the world. And it was nice to see Realini back in action after her nasty crash in La Vuelta Feminina.

The ITT in Stage 2 had a flat section before the second half rose up in a climb, and most riders elected to do a bike change. Honestly, ITTs can be a bit boring sometimes, and it's fun to see how well teams manage the bike change. We always appreciate a smooth swap and applaud the efforts of the soigneurs and mechanics to give the riders a good push after the swap.

The big question would be whether any rider could put in a good enough performance to challenge Demi Vollering's position in yellow. And there were some really impressive performances, particularly from Elisa Longo Borghini (Lidl-Trek) and Kim Cadzow (EF Education-Cannondale), who placed second and third, respectively. Giai Realini also put in a solid time-trial, which is impressive given the disadvantage her smaller size gives her.

But at the end of the day, Demi Vollering showed once again why she is the woman to beat. Vollering finished 18 seconds ahead of ELB, adding to her advantage and putting her a little less than a minute and a half ahead of ELB and Realini. Cadzow is not far behind the two Italians, so the battle for the podium is still fierce, but it's hard to imagine Vollering won't continue to dominate in the final stages.

On 26th February 1950 the entertainer and songwriter, Sir Harry Lauder, died.

Born in Portobello in Edinburgh, Lauder was a music-hall comedian who excited enthusiasm throughout the English-speaking world as singer and composer of simple hearted Scottish songs.

While a child half-timer in a flax mill he won singing competitions but worked in a coal mine for 10 years before joining a concert party that took him to Belfast, Birkenhead, and other places that claim to have seen his professional debut.

The first songs that he wrote and sang were Irish or English, but when he went to London, to Gatti’s music hall in May 1900, he was wearing the kilt. Later he wore trousers for his character studies only, such as “Saftest of the Family” and “It’s Nice To Get Up in the Morning.” During his week’s engagement at Gatti’s a gap occurred in the program at the Tivoli, and Lauder stepped into it with “Lass o’ Killiekrankie,” an immediate success. Until then his songs had all been comic. With “I Love a Lassie” he struck the homely poetic note that gave charm to “When I Get Back Again to Bonnie Scotland” and “Roamin’ in the Gloamin’.” His range extended from the bibulous “A Wee Deoch an’ Doris” to the hortatory “End of the Road.” With a large repertory of his own songs (some verses partly by other persons) he toured America, South Africa, and Australia, and during World War I he sang to troops in France. He gave many concerts for war charities and was knighted in 1919. He wrote four books of reminiscences and acted in several films. He made 22 American tours and entertained troops again in World War II.

On February 26th 1950 he passed away at his Strathaven home, aged 79. His funeral was held at Cadzow church in Hamilton on 2 March It was widely reported,[notably by Pathé newsreels. One of the chief mourners was the Duke of Hamilton, a close family friend, who led the funeral procession through Hamilton, and read The Lesson. Lauder was interred with his brother George and their mother in the family plot at Bent Cemetery in Hamilton.

Poc Procen Air, un casque aéro pour la route !

Poc présente le Procen Air un casque aéro développé avec l'équipe EF Pro Cycling pour gagner des watts mais aussi améliorer sécurité et confort du cycliste. En dehors de la protection contre les impacts, essentielle, le nouveau casque aérodynamique de Poc, le Procen Air a de nombreux objectifs. Il a déjà prouvé ses qualités en étant victorieux avec Albertol Betiol sur Milan-Turin, Noemi Rüegg sur Trofeo Felanitx-Colònia de Sant Jordi, Kristen Faulkner sur l’Omloop van het Hageland, et Kim Cadzow au Trofeo Ponente in Rosa. Il dispose d'une coque en polycarbonate et d'un calotin en EPS, mais ici pas de système Mips. C'est presque un casque de chrono mais adapté à des épreuves longues. Crédit Poc Aéro avant tout ! Le gain aérodynamique est au centre du concept. Après un gros travail, en simulation CFD, en soufflerie et de nombreux tests routiers réalisés avec les équipes EF Pro Cycling, le Procen Air permet un gain de 5 watts à vitesse réduite et de 18 watts entre 30 et 60 km/h par rapport au Ventral. Sa forme permet aussi d'écarter le flux d'air des épaules. Le passage en soufflerie reste un incontournable. Crédit Poc Côté ventilation, le casque Poc Procen Air n'est pas un casque fermé, même s'il compte peu "d'évents". Sur l'avant on ne compte ainsi que 3 prises d'air, mais celles-ci utilisent l'effet Venturi pour faire rentrer un maximum d'air frais dans les canaux internes du casque et donc maintenir la tête à une température agréable. De plus afin d'optimiser la traînée, le casque couvre partiellement les oreilles et comporte un écran amovible. Mais cela n'a pas qu'un effet aérodynamique... Un plus en termes de sécurité Si le Procen Air couvre en partie les oreilles et si le gain de trainée est là aussi sensible, cette couverture permet aussi d'améliorer l'audition en supprimant nombre de bruits aérodynamiques. Entendre parfaitement ce qui se passe derrière soi est alors un vrai plus en termes de sécurité. Dans le même esprit l'intégration d'un écran assure une vision périphérique maximale. La fixation de l'écran Clarity par aimant permet de le mettre en place ou de l'ôter d'une main. Un "garage" avec aimants est présent à l'arrière du casque Poc Procen Air pour fixer le casque sans impact sur son aérodynamique. Le casque est livré avec deux écrans, un "clair" pour le temps ensoleillé et un miroir pour les mauvaises conditions. L'écran se fixe à l'arrière de telle façon qu'il n'interfère pas avec l'aérodynamique. Crédit Poc Les réactions sur le casque Poc Procen Air Magnus Gustavsson, responsable de l’équipement pour POC, explique : « Nous savons produire un casque qui protège des impacts. Dans le cas du Procen Air, nous voulions optimiser l’expérience au cœur du peloton, où beaucoup de choses se passent autour de vous. Notre mission était de créer un casque aussi aérodynamique qu’un casque de contre-la-montre, qui améliore la vision et l’audition du cycliste, sans compromettre sa sécurité. » Le team féminin d'EF Pro Cycling a rapidement tiré profit du nouveau casque ! Crédit Poc Peter Schep,directeur de la performance pour EF Pro Cycling,  : « Lorsque nous avons développé la technique permettant d’optimiser la circulation de l’air à travers un casque de contre-la-montre, le Procen, nous avons pensé : “Tiens ! Cela va résoudre un certain nombre de nos problèmes.” Nous sommes rapidement passés à la vitesse supérieure avec ce nouveau projet. Il suffisait de réaliser des ajustements pour assurer que le ou la cycliste est rafraichi de manière adéquate, tout en conservant une vision et une audition supérieures afin d’appréhender ce qui se passe derrière et autour de lui. La sécurité est toujours la priorité. Gardant cela en tête, nous avons pu développer ce casque. Il permet d’aller nettement plus vite. » À propos de la victoire d’Alberto Bettiol sur Milan Torino, il ajoute : « Alberto a maintenu une vitesse moyenne de 46,5 km/h pendant son solo. Selon nos calculs, Le Procen Air lui a permis de couvrir la distance plus de dix secondes plus vite que s’il avait porté le Ventral, qui est déjà un casque rapide. En sus, le Procen Air a répondu aux besoins d’une course classique de 177 km par temps chaud. » Fiche technique casque Poc Procen Air La teinte Hydrogen White est quasi métallisée. La partie qui recouvre les oreilles est en EVA. Crédit Poc Il existe aussi en Uranium Black Matt. Crédit Poc L'arrière dispose de 5 sorties d'air et assure également la fixation de l'écran quand on le retire de la face avant. Crédit Poc Il y a également deux petites prises d'air au-dessus de l'écran pour le ventiler.

[ ARABELLA HAMILTON ], the [ 28 ] year old, is the [ COUNTESS OF MARCH ] from [ SCOTLAND ], but the old world knows them as [ TECHNE ]. [ SHE ] is known to be [ INGENIOUS ]. Rumor has it, however, they also have a tendency to be [ ABSENTMINDED ]. portrayed by [ NAOMI BATTRICK, CISFEMALE ].

BASIC INFORMATION

Full Name: arabella  helen  hamilton Nickname: ara  by  those  closest  to  her Race/ ethnicity: caucasian Nationality/ Residence: scottish, currently  resides  in  linlithgow  palace Age/ Place of Birth: 28, born  on  december  1466  in  cadzow  castle, hamilton

APPEARANCE & MANNERISMS

Physical appearance: with  a  graceful  stature, fashionably  robust  and  of  the  fairest, long  hair, she  appears  as  a  timely  beauty, fit  to  one  of  the  muses  for  saints  in  holy  chapels. Mannerisms: tba ! Social Status/ Occupation: born  and  bred  into  nobility,  as  the  eldest  daughter  of  a  family  that  has  been  in  close  proximity  with  the  crown  ever  since  the  reign  of  robert  the  bruce, the  hamilton,  who  have  been  steadily  raising  in  title,  regard  and  wealth  at  each  generation. after  her  marriage,  she  has  resigned  the  simpler  title  of  lady  of  arran  to  take  that  of  her  husband’s  and  is  now  referred  as  countess  of  march. Education: her  education  was  supervisioned  by  her  lady  mother  closely, attending  to  the  scholasticism  teachings. despite  the  attention  to  her  schooling,  she  was  not  pushed  towards  academical  pursuits, the  focus  of  her  education  instead  being  that  commonly  feminine. however,  as  her  twin  brother  grew  distasteful  of  his  own  more  demanding  academical  studies,  she  has  trailed  and  stolen  quite  a  few  of  the  manuscripts  the  men  in  her  house  has  had  access ( something  that  has  been  promptly,  and  rather  endearingly,  overlooked  by  her  father ) ; though  neither  part ( herself, her brothers  or  her  parents )  would  admit  so,  it  is  arabella  that  seems  to  excel  the  most  in  her  pursuits, and  she  often  been  complimented  by  her  tutors ( despite  disapproval  over  her  ingeniousness,  unbecoming  of  a  woman who  should  not  concern  herself  with  such  matters ).

PERSONALITY

Likes:  tba ! Dislikes:  tba ! Personality Summary:  tba !

RELATIONSHIPS

Family:

daughter  of :

james  hamilton, 1st  earl  of  arran  and  lord  high  admiral  of  scotland ( b. 1437 )  and  helen  boyd  of  kilmarnock ( b. 1444 )

sister  to :

james ( b. 1461 / d. 1471 ) duncan ( b. 1463 / d. 1493 ) archibald ( b. 1466 ) helen ( b. 1468 ) agnes ( b. 1470 ) janet ( b. 1473 )) greer ( b. 1475 )

Romance: originally  engaged  to  one  of  the  most  likely  successor  of  her  father  and  colleague  courtier,  the  second  son  of  the  1st  earl  of  angus,  arabella  was  unable  to  fulfill  her  marriage  contract  before  the  bridegroom  was  taken  by  the  sweating  sickness  while  stationed  at  the  scottish  borders.  the  period  of  mourning  was  as  short  as  appropriately  acceptable ( both  by  her  father’s  impatience  with  her  marital  status  at  an  advanced  age,  and  her  own  apathy  with  the  match ), and  she  was  wed  to  ruadhrí  stewart,  the  earl  of  march,  by  mid  1494,  more  to  fullfil  her  duty  by  contracting  a  sensible,  advantageous  match  than  for  her  own  self - interest. Others: she  has  taken  the  shared  guardianship  of  quite  a  few  pets  due  to  her  husband’s  fondness  for  animals, particularly  his  lap  dogs,  effie  and  dougal.

ABILITIES

Magical: as  the  personification  of  techne, the  spirit  of  arts,  crafts  and  technical  skill,  arabella  has  been  haunted  by  muse  for  as  long  as  she  knew  herself  as  a  person,  though  her  bouts  has  become  more  intense  and  deeply  disturbing  - -  as  a lady  of  the  court,  she  is  supposed  to  be  highly  aware  of  her  surroundings,  but  her  mind  is  always  at  work  distracted  from  court  machinations,  flooded  by  designs  she  must  put  to  life ; the  biggest  struggle  about  her  endless  creativity  is  her  passivity  as  a  woman  in  the  middle  ages,  for  it  would  be  unproper  for  her  to  dedicate  herself  to  the  crafts  as  she  knows  of  no  woman  who  has  trailed  the  same  steps  as  her.  unfortunately,  that  does  not  stop  the  stirrings  of  inventiveness  from  plaguing  her  every  waking  hour,  and  she  is  ever  dependent  of  scribbling  and  sketching  the  ideas  that  come  to  mind.

Blog 3 - Digital Citizenship | Politics and Civic Cultures

The meteoric rise of Social Media over the past decade has paved the way for an entirely new, highly populated and habitable environment on the internet; a place where identities are formed, movements are proliferated, and careers can be broken or born. In week 5 of Digital Communities, we began to cover the topic of Digital Citizenship, and how the varying elements of the Social Media platforms have radically changed the way politics and democracy are discussed and communicated to local and global audiences. 

To begin with, Digital Citizenship, as a term, could be looked at as a broad and global moral/ethical guideline for digital media users to follow when they are engaging online, with eSafety (2017) describing it as, “confident and positive engagement with digital technology”. However, this weeks main concern - as outlined by Swinburne Online (2017 para.3) - is with “how political parties and politicians connect with their communities (local, state and national) through social media networks.” 

We are incredibly privileged to live in the digital age, where so much of the political discourse, debate and civic discussion takes place online and, essentially, in real time. With this comes the unprecedented possibility and affordability of citizens being able to directly attempt communication with politicians during their campaigns to have their message heard or read, not just by politicians, but by the community at large. This revolution, underpinned by the 2008 US Presidential Election, where 74% of American internet users went online during the election, has led to a great deal of democratisation and civic involvement across platforms such as Facebook, YouTube, Instagram, and Twitter in not just elections, but political and social issues in general (Young 2010, p.204). 

It should be acknowledged that Australia’s uptake on using the internet and social media for political purposes was a little slower, however, Young (2010 p.205) explains that there was a significant difference between the 2001 and 2010 elections, once this form of political campaigning and reporting had progressed. We are now constantly surrounded - virtually speaking - by political news and campaigns, whether we are on Facebook, Twitter or YouTube, and our acceptance and constructive engagement with this form of content is as much about the aesthetic and relatable quality, as any other form of content on the internet. 

Image: (The Age, 2016) 

I, for example, have often been drawn to the now much maligned, Sam Dastyari’s, Facebook page. His affable nature, obscure take on politician-to-follower communication, and concepts behind his video content were all alluring and often spoke to me, simply because he was not afraid to take a shot at far more inflammatory, bigoted politicians whose messages were blunt and lacked inclusivity...(Pauline Hanson).

Although Highland Coffees dedicates itself to top quality coffee, teas, and ambiance inside the shop and outside in the courtyard, Clarke Cadzow emphasizes that the cornerstone of his business is customer service. There is no more important factor in what makes Highland Coffees the special place that it is. The personal interaction with each and every one of its customers is paramount. #pursuits #highlandcoffees

Who's the best stage racer in the women's peloton right now? This woman right here.

With a solid lead over her rivals, the GC lead wasn't really in play in the fourth and final stage of the Tour de Suisse Women. But Demi Vollering (SD Worx-Protime) wasn't leaving anything to chance. She won the final sprint to take the stage and show that she is the overwhelming favorite for this year's Tour de France Femmes.

It was an exciting final stage, with the rest of the podium at play and mere seconds separating Neve Bradbury (Canyon-SRAM), Elisa Longo Borghini (Lidl-Trek), Gaia Realini (Lidl-Trek), and Kim Cadzow (EF Education-Cannondale). Kasia Niewiadoma attacked in the final 10k, allowing her teammate Bradbury to sit on a bit. Lidl-Trek set a very hard pace for much of the day, and Niewiadoma's attack forced the team to sacrifice Gaia Realini's position on GC to ensure that ELB stayed on the podium. Realini did a big lead-out on the final climb, and ELB fought hard, and although she held off Niewiadoma to stay in third place, she couldn't put enough time into Bradbury, who stayed ahead of her by two seconds to keep second place.

In the end, as the top riders neared the finish, a relatively fresh Vollering lit up the sprint and won by several bike lengths. ELB took second, and Niewiadoma sat up to ensure that Bradbury placed third, taking the bonus seconds and cementing her second-place in the general classification.

The Tour de Suisse Women has some unusual stages, and we like the variety. It's also just a gorgeous race to watch. We'd really like to see this race expanded in the future.

Canyon-SRAM deserves kudos for the raid they pulled off on Stage 3, and an impressive set of performances from Neve Bradbury (2nd), Kasia Niewiadoma (4th), Antonia Niedermaier (6th), and with Elise Chabbey winning the Mountains Classification and placing 14th on GC.

Lidl-Trek also put up a big performance, with four riders in the top twelve. ELB did a really impressive time trial, and fought hard to stay on the podium. Realini was the closest rider to Vollering on the climbs. Amanda Spratt and Brodie Chapman did a lot of work for this result—Spratt in the breakaway on Stage 3 and Chapman single-handedly chasing down breakaways in Stage 4.

We were also impressed by Kim Cadzow's performance this week. She crashed on one of the descents and lost more than three minutes, but still finished the stage and came in eighth on GC despite her injuries. This was a great race to watch.

Poc Procen Air, un casque aéro pour la route !

Poc présente le Procen Air un casque aéro développé avec l'équipe EF Pro Cycling pour gagner des watts mais aussi améliorer sécurité et confort du cycliste. En dehors de la protection contre les impacts, essentielle, le nouveau casque aérodynamique de Poc, le Procen Air a de nombreux objectifs. Il a déjà prouvé ses qualités en étant victorieux avec Albertol Betiol sur Milan-Turin, Noemi Rüegg sur Trofeo Felanitx-Colònia de Sant Jordi, Kristen Faulkner sur l’Omloop van het Hageland, et Kim Cadzow au Trofeo Ponente in Rosa. Il dispose d'une coque en polycarbonate et d'un calotin en EPS, mais ici pas de système Mips. C'est presque un casque de chrono mais adapté à des épreuves longues. Crédit Poc Aéro avant tout ! Le gain aérodynamique est au centre du concept. Après un gros travail, en simulation CFD, en soufflerie et de nombreux tests routiers réalisés avec les équipes EF Pro Cycling, le Procen Air permet un gain de 5 watts à vitesse réduite et de 18 watts entre 30 et 60 km/h par rapport au Ventral. Sa forme permet aussi d'écarter le flux d'air des épaules. Le passage en soufflerie reste un incontournable. Crédit Poc Côté ventilation, le casque Poc Procen Air n'est pas un casque fermé, même s'il compte peu "d'évents". Sur l'avant on ne compte ainsi que 3 prises d'air, mais celles-ci utilisent l'effet Venturi pour faire rentrer un maximum d'air frais dans les canaux internes du casque et donc maintenir la tête à une température agréable.

January 13th 603 saw the death of St Mungo, patron saint of Glasgow (and also known as St Kentigern).

The story of the life of St Kentigern is vague and of the many legends the following is generally accepted. He was born at Culross on the north shore of the Firth of Forth in the early years of the sixth century, the son of Urien, Prince of Cumbria, and Thenew, daughter of the King of Lothian. He was educated and trained as a priest of the Celtic Church at the monastery of St Serf at Culross, Fife. The name Kentigern means 'High Lord' but St Serf was very fond of him and called him Mungo, meaning "my dear friend". In about 550 Mungo finished his training and went to the house of a holy man named Fergus at Kernach. Fergus died the night he arrived and Mungo placed his body on a cart yoked by two wild bulls commanding them to convey it to the place ordained by the Lord. They stopped at Cathures where Fergus was buried and Mungo established a church. Mungo referred to this spot as 'Glasgu' or the beloved green place. This became Glasgow and the church developed into Glasgow Cathedral. Mungo lived an disciplined holy life until his death in 603. He was canonised and became the patron saint of Glasgow with a feast day on 13th January.

To tell the story of St Mungo's miracles attributed to Mungo, you just have to look at the city of Glasgow's coat of Arms, and the verse that goes with it....

There’s the tree that never grew,

There’s the bird that never flew,

There’s the fish that never swam,

There’s the bell that never rang.

'the Bird that never flew' - the wild robin which St Serf tamed. It was accidentally killed by some of his disciples who blamed it on Mungo. He took the dead bird in his hands and prayed, restoring it to life, whereupon it flew to its master. ' the Bell that never rang' - the bell may have been given to St Mungo by the Pope but there is no definite information as to how he obtained it. By the fifteenth century St Mungo's handbell had become a notable Glasgow symbol. Handbells were common in the Celtic church and were used by Holy men to call the flock to worship. In 1450, John Stewart, "the first provost that was in Glasgow", left, as did many others, an endowment to have the bell tolled throughout the city to call the inhabitants to pray for his soul. The fate of the original bell is unknown although it was known still to exist in 1578. A replacement was purchased by Town Magistrates in 1641 and this bell is still in the People's Palace Museum. 'the Tree that never grew' - the tree is now depicted as an oak but it started in the legend as a hazel branch. As a boy in the monastery Mungo was left in charge of the holy fire in the refectory. He fell asleep and some of the other boys, being envious of him, put out the fire. When he woke and found what had happened, Mungo broke off some frozen branches from a hazel tree and caused them to burst into flames by praying over them.

'the Fish that never swam' - the fish with a ring in its mouth is a salmon and the ring was a present from Hydderch Hael, King of Cadzow, to his Queen, Languoreth. The Queen gave the ring to a knight and the King, suspecting an intrigue, took it from him while he slept during a hunting party and threw it into the River Clyde. On returning home the King demanded the ring and threatened Languoreth with death if she could not produce it. The Queen appealed to the knight who, of course, could not help and then confessed to St Mungo who sent one of his monks to fish in the river, instructing him to bring back the first fish caught. This was done and St Mungo extracted the ring from its mouth.

Pics are  the shrine to St Mungo in Glasgow Cathedral and St Mungos Holy Well in the south west corner of the crypt, with the small collection of stones from earlier cathedral buildings.

On 26 February 1950 the entertainer and songwriter, Sir Harry Lauder, died.

Born in Portobello in Edinburgh, Lauder was a music-hall comedian who excited enthusiasm throughout the English-speaking world as singer and composer of simple hearted Scottish songs.

While a child half-timer in a flax mill he won singing competitions but worked in a coal mine for 10 years before joining a concert party that took him to Belfast, Birkenhead, and other places that claim to have seen his professional debut.

The first songs that he wrote and sang were Irish or English, but when he went to London, to Gatti’s music hall in May 1900, he was wearing the kilt. Later he wore trousers for his character studies only, such as “Saftest of the Family” and “It’s Nice To Get Up in the Morning.” During his week’s engagement at Gatti’s a gap occurred in the program at the Tivoli, and Lauder stepped into it with “Lass o’ Killiekrankie,” an immediate success. Until then his songs had all been comic. With “I Love a Lassie” he struck the homely poetic note that gave charm to “When I Get Back Again to Bonnie Scotland” and “Roamin’ in the Gloamin’.” His range extended from the bibulous “A Wee Deoch an’ Doris” to the hortatory “End of the Road.” With a large repertory of his own songs (some verses partly by other persons) he toured America, South Africa, and Australia, and during World War I he sang to troops in France. He gave many concerts for war charities and was knighted in 1919. He wrote four books of reminiscences and acted in several films. He made 22 American tours and entertained troops again in World War II.

On February 26th 1950 he passed away at his Strathaven home, aged 79. His funeral was held at Cadzow church in Hamilton on 2 March It was widely reported,[notably by Pathé newsreels. One of the chief mourners was the Duke of Hamilton, a close family friend, who led the funeral procession through Hamilton, and read The Lesson. Lauder was interred with his brother George and their mother in the family plot at Bent Cemetery in Hamilton.

You can find a full biography on Harry Lauder here https://www.arts.gla.ac.uk/STE…/STARN/crit/WAGGLE/lauder.htm

Head of International Business Development at the practice, Mark Taylor, said: “Having recently won two major resort projects in Malaysia, Kuala Lumpur provides the perfect strategic location as we look to develop the business across the Asia Pacific region. The country has the highest economic growth in the area and there is huge demand for international expertise.”

Malaysian Azmall Jamaluddin added: “This is a really exciting opportunity both personally and for the practice to expand the office’s presence and brand in Asia to deliver exciting architectural opportunities.”

“Beyond the masterplans that we are delivering, we are particularly looking at transferring our sustainability knowledge and expertise within the airport, hotel, retail and education sectors.

Teesside University Student Life Building in Middlesbrough

1 Oct 2020

Teesside University Student Life Building

Design: FaulknerBrowns Architects

Location: Middleborough, northeast England

A new focal point on Teesside University’s Middlesbrough campus, the University Student Life Building provides an open and welcoming environment where students can access support services, alongside a varied mix of learning spaces.

Addressing the perceived stigma which surrounds the pursuit of help and support for issues of mental health, the building has been designed to break down the barriers to access, providing an inclusive space for enhanced student wellbeing.

Supporting Student Life The concept of the Student Life Building emerged from consultation with staff and students conducted as part of the development of the university’s ten-year Masterplan and Estates Strategy, which FaulknerBrowns led in 2016-17. The concept was to create a central location for students to access all of the information and services offered by the university to support student life outside of the seminar room or lecture theatre, with all of the services also accessible online, 24 hours a day, on or off campus. To do this the university embarked upon a programme of physical, digital and organisational change, co-locating student facing staff in this new central location.

To embed the facility at the heart of student life and promote a sense of ownership, the Student Life Building integrates the support services with a diverse range of learning spaces and a healthy food offer.

An Open and Inclusive Environment It is crucial that the building overcomes any stigma which may prevent students from seeking help and support, and therefore vitally important to remove barriers which may discourage access. This was achieved by removing the distinctions between ‘learning’ and ‘support’ spaces to deliver “everything students need outside of the classroom”.

A series of timber clad pods contain twenty-six individual rooms which can be used for both private consultations and group study. Each cluster of rooms is accessed via a waiting area that can also be used for quiet study. The pods have been arranged to create a series of interlocking internal volumes which benefit from visual connectivity, daylight, and views, without compromising confidentiality when required. The scale of these spaces has been deliberately moderated to balance openness and connectivity with the need to create an environment which is appropriate for students who are distressed or are uncomfortable in a busy campus environment. This is particularly important given the support which is provided within the building for autistic students.

The building provides a diverse range of active, collaborative, contemplative and focused learning spaces. These more collaborative environments complement the library, which primarily delivers individual study space. A series of innovative teaching and learning spaces support the university’s adoption of increasingly diverse pedagogies and a growing emphasis on group study. The ‘Creator Lab’ is a test bed for innovative teaching, and the ‘Digital Futures’ centre provides digital skills support and facilities to explore the potential of new learning technologies.

In general, quieter, more private spaces are located higher up the building, with the ground floor providing an open learning, catering and orientation space.

Completing the Campus Heart The simple form of the building belies its internal spatial complexity. Broadly rectangular in plan, the southern end of the building is chamfered to address the Campus Heart. The importance the university places on employability is emphasized here by the clear and distinctive expression of the double height ‘Student Futures’ space above the primary entrance.

The building reinforces the Campus Heart as the key location for central university facilities. Its form, orientation and transparency strengthen the main north/south route through the campus and improve wayfinding and security on key circulation routes.

A Focus on Wellbeing Across the university sector, institutions are being challenged to improve the ways in which they engage with and support their students in what has been described as an epidemic of poor mental health and rapidly increasing demand for counselling and support services.

Enhancing wellbeing is the primary objective of the Student Life Building and the services it offers. Through enhanced wellbeing, the university aims to improve retention, employability and academic outcomes.

This focus on wellbeing is reflected in the design of the building, which seeks to promote the ‘Five Ways to Wellbeing’, behaviours which have been proven to enhance mental health, encouraging students and staff to be active, take notice, connect, keep learning and give.

The building delivers excellent user comfort alongside the high environmental performance demonstrated by the BREEAM Excellent and Energy Performance Certificate A rating. Controlled mechanical ventilation with heat recovery provides controlled fresh air and thermal comfort in all areas. Excellent daylighting is supplemented by artificial lighting, which supports user comfort whilst contributing to the character of the spaces. Noise and reverberation in open plan areas are controlled by slatted timber panelling to the meeting pods. Increased acoustic absorption at the upper levels of the building provides a quieter environment for more private discussions.

Materiality The building is predominantly clad in two types of material. The eastern cellular block is clad in cementitious cladding panels with glazed slot window openings into the workspaces. The open learning spaces to the west of the building are enclosed by glazed aluminium curtain walling, with projecting mullions providing shading and a variation in appearance from different viewpoints.

The double height Student Futures space, orientated towards the Campus Heart and highly visible from Southfield Road, is shaded by fritted dichroic glass fins. The appearance of this distinctive material changes with variations in daylight and sunlight throughout the day, and from different viewpoints. This variation in colour is reflected in the ‘Life Lines’ branding which has been developed for the building, online services and staff uniforms.
