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.

Project Detroit scholarship win

A team consisting of Unit A students Julia Hedander and Paulina Huukari and four further students from University of East London have been awarded a scholarship by Going Global for a research project in Detroit, that will be carried out during summer 2013.

They are writing that, "Project Detroit: Post-industrial wastelands, ...will record the urban deterioration and will investigate what used to be there, by showing examples of a past vibrant city and finally what the city hopes to do in the future; how new organisations and partnerships are working towards regeneration. This will be done through documentation such as drawings, photographs, film and interviews with local community and city authorities."
