Here are some books we have been reading and picked for you this summer from familiar favourites to new discoveries. Three weeks until the term starts and still plenty of summer left for a good book! Our picks wander through art, design, culture, everyday life and places in between. We found a lot in these pages to interest and inspire us in and beyond the studio. Perhaps you will find something for your own reading list too!

A closer look at one of the Stage 3 projects from our End of Year Show ✨

In The Last Daylight, .shen  speculates on what the Templeman Library might become 60 years from now, in a future where climate change has made outdoor life increasingly difficult and nocturnal living has become the norm.

A continuous loop reshapes the library as a protected indoor landscape, connecting planted platforms, sloping surfaces, study spaces, places to rest and social areas. Artificial light panels replace daylight, supporting new patterns of movement, learning and collective life.

What might the library become in another 60 years?

We had a blast at the EoYS opening night 🥳 Here are a few moments from the lead-up to the show and the launch itself from SPIN!

We have just launched our exhibition which is the product of many hands. It is culmination of efforts of SPINners and many others across the SAA who worked with each other to bring together a show with a collective, creative spirit 🎉🎉

Special shoutout to all our students who have been here day after to day to make it happen!

More coming up from the show..

It was a pleasure to welcome Jason Wiggin, our External Examiner from at SPIN today 🤗

As we made the final touches on the EoYS, we shared student work, discussed the programme and reflected on the year with Jason. We appreciate his thorough and insightful feedback, and his pleasant recognition of our growth over the years!

We look forward to opening the exhibition to all in just two days.

The countdown begins!

Just 10 days until SPIN’s End of Year Show opens its doors. This week, we are transforming our studios into exhibition spaces, testing layouts and installing our work.

Stay tuned for more updates ✨
