DAVID CHANDLER
My path towards a professional identity has been aggregated through many professional opportunities over 40+ years. I have had a professional HE career in architecture and urbanism since 2013.
My undergraduate training was in English Literature from an Exhibition in English to Churchill College, Cambridge in 1974. I adopted John Ruskin for the second-year thesis as I planned to transfer to the History of Art for my final year. I was awarded a travel scholarship in 1976 to prepare for the Part II syllabus on Michelangelo with Paul Joannides and Trecento art with Duncan Robinson. My final thesis was on Michelangelo and the Grotesque (specifically, grotteschi). I had taught myself Italian through time based in Florence. My MA at the Courtauld Institute 1978 was on Andrea Mantegna’s funerary chapel in Sant’Andrea, Mantua. (Michael Hirst). By 1978 I had developed research interests in the representation of the city and the built cityscape, the urbs picta.
I secured a teaching post at Kingston College where I taught a quattrocento History of Art sixth form syllabus. I was offered an examiner advisory post at the AEB and was asked to lecture on Michelozzo for the Accademia Italiana and provide Christie’s Art History lectures over several years. I spent a seminal year (leave of absence) at Wimbledon School of Art on Fine Art: Painting BA year 1 in 1980-81with Prunella Clough as a tutor. I was awarded the ‘Gertrude Hermes Relief Print Prize’ for the large linocut ‘Bayham Abbey’ subsequent to an English Heritage supported personal show at Bayham Abbey. The work that emerged from that success secured exhibitions at Liverpool University and the Medieval Hall, Salisbury, and a purchase from the Whitworth Art Gallery. My subjects became architectural, but I also placed no boundaries on my creative identity. I made small bronzes for the British Art Medal Society with some commissions and produced a suite of prints; ‘Boethius’ pairing lines from a Latin poem with a series of experimental etchings. These were exhibited at the Møller Institute at Churchill College in1999.
A relocation from Surbiton, Surrey to Stockport was through promotion to Head of Department at Aquinas College Stockport in 2004. I managed five members of staff to deliver Media, Film and Communications Studies with consistent success. I used a Moodle platform for all the administration and moderation 2004 -2013. I also started an extension course in architecture and taught research methodologies.
In 2011 I produced a Corten steel sculpture for the memorial courtyard of Aquinas college, ‘Ex Libris’ and equipped an Apple media suite at the new college with film editing facilities and green screen. Moving image media continues to be important within my pedagogical practice.
Needing to balance “retirement” from sixth form with a new academic direction in 2013, I undertook the MMU Architecture and Urbanism MA over two years. The time I had spent in Lazio researching Etruscan necropoleis and citadel cities around Rome allowed me to consolidate a dissertation on the archaic Forum Boarium, Rome and its links with Etruscan tomb painting. Copy in the Villa Giulia, Rome. Our MA teamwork produced a symposium 2014 with guests Pippo Ciorra, Odile Decq and John Grindrod. Manufacturing Utopia 2 - YouTube.
In 2015 I was awarded a Seven Architects’ Travel Award based on a proposal to research “ghost towns” in Sardinia. This was prompted by research on urban ruin in Stockport. Granted access to surveys from 2008 from the planning department at Gairo Sant’Elia, I was also introduced to the legacy of Maria Lai at Ulassai, where I was based in September 2015.
The research on the ruined villages of Gairo and Osini (in 1951) has recently been presented to MMU in short format for the ‘Researching Heritage’ Symposium 21.4.21.
In 2017 was invited to contribute to the Birmingham University AHRA symposium; ‘Architecture, Festival and the City’ Architecture, Festival & The City by Birmingham School of Architecture and Design - issuu p.14. The resulting chapter, on Maria Lai and syncretic festival was published in 2019, an opportunity to interpret the ‘legarsi alla montagna’ 1981 situationist event in the light of my experience as a sculptor/urbanist. It provided a research foundation for an anthropology of urbanism.
I have been teaching as an AL at MSA since 2019, combining Studio practice pedagogy with urban theory units. The two-day thematic teaching synergies have been important, evidenced by my students’ books adduced as good practice exempla this year. Covid19 distance teaching methodologies completed the delivery of the group 2019 -20; Porto Marghera: From 1917 to 2050 by 2019maaumsa - issuu from Studio work.
The MA year group 2020 -21 also have good retention with emerging success stories, field visits, improving screen management techniques, promoting productive exchanges with urbanists and institutions on social media.
Metropolitan engagement: I produced several connected urban project proposals for Stockport in the A+U MA thesis. Now a Gov.UK publication by Stockport MBA. I was invited to consult with the local authority on a Chestergate pedestrianisation and seasonal market, and a GMA 35 proposal for Offerton School site Stockport. I set up an influential blog MAKE LITTLE UNDERBANK GREAT AGAIN and continue activism with colleagues in the contentious matter of SEMMMS “A6 Relief Road” GOYT/GOING - DAVID CHANDLER (weebly.com)
My ongoing focus for MA studio 2021 will be the peri-urbanist development of Greater Manchester, generating the tools to locate and evaluate what might constitute its Green Belt.
I maintain my practice as an urbanist painter with 3 shortlisted entries to the ‘New Light Prize Exhibition’. I have been producing intaglio prints from the MMU print facilities with the kind support of the technical staff. I have assembled an urbanist print collection with recent focus on Federica Galli and Ian Fraser. I am currently preparing further research materials on the concrete friezes by Maria Lai and Costantino Nivola from 1991 along the Strada del Rito, Santa Barbara, Ulassai, Sardinia.
