“ Design Engine Architects are a very professional and dedicated company. The Directors and staff are very competent and really do consider the client’s needs. Some architectural practices are only interested in the design (and what the design can do for their practice).

Our Methodology History and Memory The term ‘Masterplan’ can be used to describe different outputs, involving varying levels of investigation. However, our designs always start with the site and the constraints and opportunities given by its setting, history, neighbours, orientation, topography, existing buildings, trees, and boundary edges. We also make a distinction between ‘history’ and ‘memory’, such that we can evoke a sense of character and personality. 11

Our Methodology Design Tools The art of communication throughout the whole process is Context models such as this for St Peter’s College are useful for stakeholder engagement as well as meetings with local authority etc imperative. Our philosophy is to test design ideas using a range of media and an array of software. We use computers as an accurate tool throughout design development, turning the model into fully rendered visuals at key moments of the approvals process. Physical models are created in-house and serve many purposes through design evolution. They each are intended for the different audiences involved in the process: from early exploratory maquettes to floor plate models for end-user consultation. Once the scheme is fixed, presentation models can be made for planning, funding and exhibitions. Communicating not just what any proposal for Magdalen College looks like, but the thinking behind it will be critical in engaging with internal and external stakeholders at Magdalen College.

Our Methodology Design by Dialogue We enjoy the process of sharing the design journey with the client body, and value their contribution towards the emerging proposals. Feedback is recorded and reviewed by the design team. We invest time in preparing presentations, drawings and models tailored for specific audiences. Communicating our ideas clearly through three-dimensional physical models, as well as computer generated models (CGIs) makes this process efficient and focused. We pride ourselves on our approach to our work, in particular how we listen to our clients. Our focus is to treat the client as a key part of the design team and whilst we expect to be the ones doing the hard work, we recognise the enormous insight and expertise that the client can bring to the design process. For us the key to understanding the client’s brief is to understand the client’s approach to education and pastoral care, the long-term vision and values of the institution and the constitutional arrangements in respect of how decisions need to be made by the client body. We will often need to consult directly with senior client-users who are responsible for specific aspects of the operation. Whether we are working on a design for a specific building or a wider strategic masterplan, we adopt an approach which we refer to as ‘design by dialogue’. The phrase captures the essence of the process we undertake, which is to work closely with our clients in order to consolidate the brief and to establish different and appropriate options in response. 15

Our Methodology Sustainable Design In the work we complete for our clients we recognise our responsibility to the environment, so we always design from first principles. This way we ensure best practice from the outset rather than applying secondary green ‘bolt-ons’ to help improve the performance of our buildings. This is an approach we will adopt in the development of the masterplan for Magdalen College in collaboration with the wider project team. The practice also recognises its responsibility to promote the sustainable use of the world’s valuable natural resources and it understands the impacts that it could have upon the environment during the course of carrying out its work. We are committed to achieving excellent environmental performance at all times, regardless of the size or type of work that is being undertaken. On our current projects for St Peter’s College and St Hilda’s College are design to Passivhaus standards, which has been proved to reduce the performance gap between designed energy performance and actual energy use. 16

Our Methodology Clarity of Thought As a company, we are seen as problem-solvers and we like to find clarity in a complex set of issues. Considered analysis allows us to get under the skin of sites and briefs, such that we can re-present ideas back to our Clients through fresh eyes. Frontages to main buildings Existing formal gardens and orchard Decisions made in the new Care Home by OA, with associated vehicular and pedestrian routes 17

Our Methodology Spaces and Places Public Realm Inside-Out Formal spaces Changes in level Communal gardens Places for solitude 1 Places for socialising Spaces between buildings are as important as the buildings themselves. Masterplan thinking should be more fluid and cohesive, with hard and soft landscape considered as glue between the buildings and facilities. Ultimately, the whole College should be occupied and enjoyed to the maximum through all seasons. 18

Our Methodology Engaging with the College It is important early on to identify key project objectives and galvanise a Joint stakeholder workshops sense of the possible. • As the dialogue with key stakeholders and users develop areas of In simplified terms the engagement process can be broken down into overlap can be identified and the opportunities to create ‘blurred the following elements. edges’ become apparent. • Workshops with two or more key stakeholders may be required Initial review of stakeholder requirement to break down any barriers that may exist and to explore ideas of • Identify the key stakeholders shared space and overlapping functions. • The stakeholders should be asked to define their key objectives Regular update presentations for success • Keep the wider College community informed of what is actually Regular design workshops with each stakeholder developing. • Meetings to tease out the functional needs and ambitions. • Be clear what has already been agreed/established and what is • Key however is to begin to look not how things are but how they still in development. could be. ‘Lab Space’ Individual user consultation • Possible creation of a space dedicated to sharing the vision and • Meeting with people in their own workspaces and learning testing ideas, Q&A’s etc. environments to understand how they approach their tasks and what they perceive are their main needs.

Masterplanning The Process Common Masterplan Challenges • Historic/ Heritage sensitivities. The Masterplan Process • Limited new development sites available. • Poor stock of some buildings which are inefficient but difficult to replace. The term ‘Masterplan’ can be used to describe different outputs, • Sites are blighted by poor car parking arrangements / car parking demand. involving varying levels of investigation. • Pedestrian and vehicular arrangements create Health and Safety Issues. • Perimeter security is compromised by the nature of the site.

In every case, we need to understand the personality, ambition 20 and forward plans of the institution as well as the physical asset itself. A masterplan for Magdalen College will provide a roadmap for any future development ensuring that short term decisions are robustly tested against the long term vision for the College. It should also provide a structure for funding strategies and marketing campaigns. Local authorities are reassured by the holistic approach inherent in the masterplan process. It ensures that each individual planning application is set within a planning context, and part of

Historic Contexts Understanding the Context Magdalen College We have extensive experience in working within historic settings and in and alongside listed buildings and landscapes. The history of Magdalen College traces back to 1458 by William of Waynflete, Bishop of Winchester who is buried in Winchester We are expert in preparing presentations, drawings and models Cathedral. By 1480, the first new buildings were occupied and tailored specifically for local audiences, in order to effectively the College had a physical asset - the origins of the ‘campus’. communicate proposals as well as listen to, and act upon, feedback from all interested parties. Over time the College has expanded to 120 acres and includes the grove, gardens and meadows. Subsequent buildings have Successful dialogue with Planning and Conservation Authorities, been designed by such esteemed architects as Holdsworth, liaison with other consultants, and commissioning of general and Bodley, Gardner, and Gilbert Scott, before more recent specific surveys are all paramount to the success of such projects additions by Porphyrios and Wright & Wright. Along the way, and we have extensive experience of these processes. Nash, Repton and others have proposed ambitious developments, including flooding the meadow. Most of our education projects incorporate one or more of the following: Our experience with schools and colleges around the country Magdalen College, from ‘Oxonia Illustrata’ 1730, above. have brought us face-to-face with such luminaries and the David Loggan engraving 1675 below. • Working with Grade I or Grade II listed buildings privilege of working amongst such national heritage is never • Working within the vicinity of Grade I and Grade II listed taken for granted. buildings and within Conservation Areas.

Key Questions Establishing Your Brief We were asked to list what might be required for the short-list presentation: The Nature of the Masterplan Is a detailed space utilisation study required? Does the College have one? Do you have buildings plans/surveys? Emphasis on Future Accommodation Community Specialisms Sustainability Accessibility and inclusivity Phasing Flexible framework for development over time Minimising disruption Funding Fellows Strategy Day Particular agendas? The Future Acquisitions and/or mergers? Changes in land ownership? Developable land (Deer Park, Grove, Water Meadows)? Specialisms? Curriculum changes/trends? Flexibility Growth Student Accommodation Planned increase from 496 rooms? Target numbers - under/post-graduate? Teaching Space Specialist? General? Flexibility & adaptability? Traffic and Transport Studies Parking Deliveries Access 22

Your Timetable We note your timescale for the engagement of the successful consultant and subsequent milestones. We see no reason why these dates should not be achievable. At the heart of the matter is your particular definition of the term ‘masterplan’ as this is open to interpretation. At its most detailed, the study may involve space utilisation studies of all areas and buildings to establish space efficiencies etc and this can involve lengthy data collection. However, if this information is available this will reduce the process greatly. Equally, should this not be a requirement of the study this will also simplify the process. The other crucial data is reliable survey material such as topographical surveys and measured building plans. If these do not exist, there may be a delay while they are commissioned.
