Unit A

Unit A is a research-led BSc Architecture Design Studio at the University of East London, lead by Carsten Jungfer and Fernanda Palmieri. We work with live-project situations and connect design learning with research through knowledge exchange between students and external partner organisations. Unit A focuses on social-spatial conditions within contested urban contexts and understands architectural design both as a spatial and strategic response to specific socio-spatial contexts.

Tue 16 Oct, Lecture 02 Material Response


Lecture first thing, Pin-up after to conclude the initial threshold observations across our project site. We will start at 10am and expect everybody to participate the full day. Please bring your 5 x A3 sheets, each containing an axonometric drawing that explains an observation of a particular threshold condition (case-study) with its social (behavioural / performative), material (close-up) and spatial relationships. Relevant secondary information such as location plan, photographs, user-groups, timetables, diagrams, etc. should be integrated onto the sheets.
