Portsmouth School of Architecture

This week we’re shining a light on Robin Lind, Year 3 BA Architecture student and winner of the Graduate Show 2026 poster design competition.

Robin’s concept uses motion blur photography to represent the different elements of the faculty and the student journey — capturing movement, process, and transformation.

With a full day of shooting and support from David Clark, Billie Cawte, Dan McCabe, Mike Harkins, alongside our 3D Workshop and Sewing Studio teams, Robin developed and brought the final posters to life.

A brilliant example of creativity, collaboration and making in action 👏

💡 Did you know?

Before computer simulations, architects used heliodons to test how light interacts with their designs.

It’s a method we still use today — giving students a hands-on way to explore light, shadow and atmosphere in real time.

We’re lucky to have one here at UoP ☀️

Come and try it out yourself at our next open day on 22nd April!
