PROJECT SOANE  -  Summary

The worldwide crowdsourced BIM reconstruction and rendering competition of Sir John Soane’s Bank of England.

In 2015, HP invited us [RAMSA] to submit one of our projects to be the subject of an international rendering competition. Excited about the idea, we instead proposed to use this opportunity to reconstruct English architect Sir John Soane’s Bank of England. Soane worked on the Bank of England’s labyrinthine walled complex for forty-five years, from 1788 to 1833, and it is considered his most important commission. The bank’s interiors were demolished in the 1920s to make way for Herbert Baker’s larger bank, which occupies the site today. The demolition of the original Bank of England building is one of architectural history’s greatest losses. Generations of architects have since relied on an incomplete set of floor plans, drawings, models, and historical photographs to study Soane’s building, and we thought a digital model could inspire a new generation of architects. 

What if architects today could virtually experience Soane’s spectacular use of neoclassical forms, natural light, and effects of scale? Modeling the bank would be too big a project for a single designer, but is perfectly suited for a crowdsourced effort.

RAMSA teamed up with HP, Autodesk, NVIDIA, CASE, CGarchitect, and Sir John Soane’s Museum and Foundation to virtually reconstruct Soane’s Bank of England using BIM technologies and rendering software in a first-of-its-kind crowdsourced competition.

A FOCUS ON PEDAGOGY: TEACHING, LEARNING AND RESEARCH IN THE MODERN ACADEMY

CALL:

Today the education sector is going through what most commentators see as an unprecedented period of change. The assumption is that in the wake of COVID-19, many standard modes of teaching and learning have changed forever. However, while the flux of recent times appears to have been enormous, many aspects of what we do remains the same. Our need to publish, bring in research funding, and get positive student assessments have not gone away. The knowledge we need to impart, and the mindsets we seek to loosen or develop, remain as engrained as ever. Similarly, long established research areas are still to be explored. Whether it be the environment, learning psychology, social networks, creative practice or design thinking, what we research remains relevant and pressing.

In addition, despite the ‘strangeness’ of the change around us, some disciplines find themselves in unexpectedly familiar domains. The digital arts, media and communication studies are operating on platforms many see as natural. The proponents of distance learning are employing techniques they had been honing for years. Acolytes of educational technologies are perfecting platforms they have been developing for decades. The effect of the pandemic on our teaching and research then, is far from uniform or wholly negative.

Set in this context, this conference reminds us that the pandemic is only one aspect of what it is to be an educator and researcher today. Asking us to take a step back from the flux we have been in recently, it invites us to refocus on our teaching and research topics. Importantly, it welcomes presentations that highlight pedagogy and research that has continued unaffected by remote teaching, as well as examples where radical realignments have been necessary. Whether it be in the fields of the arts, design, social or environmental sciences, this conference seeks to better grasp the tenor of teaching and research in today’s changing academy.
