BIAD - shaping creativity Since 1843

Birmingham Institute of Art and

Design (BIAD) is one of the most

established, largest, and most

significant centres for art, design and

architecture education in the world.

We were founded in 1843 with a mission

to serve industry and culture in and

around the city of Birmingham – which,

at that time, was at the centre of the

Industrial Revolution. The city and its

industrialists knew that, in order to add

value to their products and to enrich

the people of the region, they needed to

invest in art and design education. This

vision remains at the heart of what

we do. The terminology has changed

– we now refer to the creative and

cultural industries - but our students,

alumni and staff are still having a huge

impact on business and the arts.

Birmingham and the Midlands have

become a centre for high value,

design-led production. Triumph

Motorcycles, Jaguar Land Rover,

Denby, and Pashley Cycles are some

of the highly successful manufacturing

companies that value us and work

with us nationally and internationally.

We have worked and continue to work

with major companies such as

and Warner Bros. We also work with

small, medium sized and start-up

businesses, and develop research

for sectors such as the construction

industry, where our architects are

examining green design and even

the psychology of ‘green’ adoption.

Our involvement with the visual arts

extends from staff and students

exhibiting in major venues such as the

Ikon, the Venice Biennale, the Shanghai

Biennale, to working in community based

art initiatives across the world. Our

Eastside Gallery is a national portfolio

organisation for the Arts Council of

England, and we chair and coordinate

Turning Point, the visual arts strategic

body for the West Midlands.

Our students, staff and alumni have a

long history of applied research, design

and creativity. We are a major centre

for the creative and cultural industries

and we work with major educational and

research partners in the UK, Europe,

China, India, Thailand and North America.

At the broader reaches of this project the hydrological system that is connected to the river Tame will be changed to collect, retain and cleanse water from the rivers whole catchment area.This idea means that there will be an increase in wetlands and dual purpose reservoirs. Dual purpose meaning reservoirs that have been designed not just for water retention but for recreational use also.As can be seen from the diagrams on the left the yellow wetlands and reservoirs will be threaded through the landscape and right into the cities heart.

The city diagram gives a basis to be able to create an effective design at smaller scales throughout the city.The main components that make up the diagram are:- Water. This comprises of the water networks that run through the site; the Birmingham to Fazeley canal and the river Tame. The river in particular will become an influential part of the scheme due to the huge water collection net-work connected to it.- Drainage. This will be the system that collects all of the runoff and utilises it in the area for wetlands and treat-ment areas.- Movement. Connections across the valley will be increased to re-connect the north of the city with the east.- Ripples. The ripples through the site will shape, hold, channel, keep out and move the water around the site for cleansing and use.

Art-Based Masters

• The Art-Based Masters programme

at the School of Art has been well

established for more than 40

years, and has one of the largest

portfolio of courses in the UK.

• One of the most exciting and diverse

research communities in the UK,

attracting students from the UK,

Europe and international base.

• Students are supported by a

high profile group of artists/

practitioners, theorists,

academics and professionals. Our

graduates work in the education

sector, progress to MPhil/PhD

research, or work as professional

artists, and practitioners.

“The course supports and encourages

inter- and cross-disciplinary work

and I was able to do some interesting

collaborations. I received valuable

input right the way through the course

in both my studio-based practice and

my extended essay. Tutors are good

at both playing to your strengths (it

is your project after all; your MA),

and challenging you to take your

work in interesting directions. For

me the biggest strength of the MA

was its commitment to the dialogue

between practice and theory.

Strong support from the staff was

given to the development of my PhD

application and I am now in the final

year of an AHRC funded PhD.”

‘Vibrating suit’ helps athletes advance

A pioneering ‘vibrating suit’ created

by experts at the University, could

help athletes and other sports stars

to enhance their performance, by

providing live information on their

physical technique, allowing them

to make real-time adjustments.

The project is being led by a cross-

disciplinary team including Professor

Gregory Sporton, School of Art;

Stephen Wanless, Faculty of Health;

and PhD student Jonathan Green.

Professor Sporton said: “The suit is

designed to give wearers feedback

about where their body is in space. It

does this by focusing on key points in

the body, taking relative measurements

between them to check the user’s

position. This data, much more simple

to acquire and treat in real time than

more complex motion capture systems,

is then used to give the wearer feedback

in real time about their movement.”

The device has recently been tested

by rising star Mimi Cesar, the UK’s

third ranking rhythmic gymnast,

and her coaching staff immediately

recognised the suit’s potential in giving

UK athletes a competitive advantage.

Pop icon goes Gaga for student Design

Fashion Design graduate Rebecca Short had the

surprise of a lifetime when one of her experimental

outfits was worn by pop icon Lady Gaga in front of

a worldwide audience. The exotic singer wowed

fans and journalists when she wore the distinctive

dress at a showcase event in Singapore – only

days after one of her stylists spotted Rebecca’s

dress at Graduate Fashion Week in London.

“I loved every minute of Graduate Fashion Week. It

offers a great opportunity to show people what you

can do and it feels great being able to see all the

hard work come together in a professional way.

I was attracted to the course at Birmingham City

University because of the close links with industry.

The tutors and technicians we had were the best.”

“Birmingham City University is a fun

place to be. The tutors are very

approachable and down-to-earth

people, who will listen and find the

time for you whenever you would like

their advice. Three years have passed by

so fast, and although I have only recently

graduated, I already miss being at

university. The fact that the course was

not narrow and we actually could

make certain choices of different

modules was vital in my case, as originally

I came to study photography but ended

up finishing the course with moving

image. The course gives great opportunities

for collaborations with other faculties such

as the Conservatoire and Theatre Design

students, as well as the School of Acting.”

knowing what the things you

research are about. Working on the

helps you encapsulate all that you
