What is 'future academy'?

This is a question to which I will be returning many, many times over the coming academic year. It is the title/theme/polemic of the degree project which will form the bulk of my submission for the BArch degree. The definition of future academy is the responsibility of the individual student, and to this end, a full design brief will be written at the end of term 1, defining both the conceptually premise and the more pragmatic programmatic requirements upon which an architectural project will be built.
Before even contemplating such matters however, a series of submissions and exercises are planned that will help define the theme. These include visits and analysis of the various sites (all situated in Leith), an interdisciplinary group competition with students from the schools of Drawing & Painting and Sculpture (sponsored by RMJM architects) and other excerises yet to be announced. No drawings will be made in this ter, only models.
