Association of Dundee Architecture Students (ADAS)

"Education is not filling a bucket, but lighting a fire"

W.B. Yeats

ADAS is an Architecture student society which organises social, charitable, and educational activities throughout the school year.

Self-Driven Students

Heard of phrases within the school such as 'creative realism' and 'regionalism' must also now be reconsidered, not just by students, but by educator and tutor alike, with specific regard to our aspirations as scholars and creators within this new landscape of creativity and thought. The school is in the process of transition towards 'creative practice', where exploration and creative endeavour will create energy and inspire ebullient, self-driven students who are active in their own education.

Represent and Explore

The responsibility which befalls ADAS and the student body this year within this revised context is a great one; to represent, to explore and to set a precedent, and it is our profound intention to feed off the 'restructuring' of the school, to develop a methodology that will encourage a more involved student of Architecture, to help develop confidence, to spur critical analysis and debate and to foster ambition among the students, through publication, exhibition and education.

A great corpus of projects are being undertaken by ADAS as vehicles of aspiration and inspiration, the intention; for students to consider how this new identity may affect them, how it may affect their understanding as designers and thinkers and how they, in turn, can affect the identity and the influence of the DSA within Scotland and beyond.
