Ian Hicklin
My early 20's were spent operating the sound desk for punk bands throughout Europe. I later qualified as a furniture maker; this led me to study architecture.
I worked with Ian Simpson Architects and for 10 years with MBLA Architects, where I focused on residential, healthcare and Higher Education projects.
The Royal Northern College of Music awarded me Hon RNCM in 2008 in recognition of the architectural services I had provided over many years.

Ian Hicklin - MEd proposed scholarship 2019.docxDissertation submission for MEd programme
Much has been written about assessment in higher education.Some has been written about assessment in architectural education.Some has been written about what goes on in the mind of a tutor when assessing in higher education (e.g. Sue Bloxham, Sergio Altomonte).Not much has been written about what goes on in the mind of an architecture tutor when assessing studio design work; that is what I propose to do.This project builds in some respects on the work of Prof Bryan Lawson and his studies of ‘What designers know’.
The aim is to better understand what we do and how we do it, so that through that understanding, we might do it better, or at least be better able to explain what we do to students so that assessment is not considered to be a mystery withheld by us.
The heart of the study is about how students understand what we do when we assess their work or talk about architecture with them in tutorials.
