Description
Summary:	The London England opening night of the Newcastle School of Architecture, Planning and Landscape degree show is, infact, its only night. Like many schools, Newcastle has for many years held a satellite show in London. When it became apparent that some 90 per cent of visitors attend the opening night, it was decided to essentially hold a one-night party, featuring a curated selection of work from the Newcastle version of the show. Speaking to head of school Adam Sharr, it seems this sense of giving London a taster without acquiescing to the city's huge appeal for graduates is intentional. One of the school's recent strategies, for example, has been the provision of incubators, making it easier for graduates to start up in the city in which they studied.
