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.

Mon 24 June - Interventions in Cities (LFA) Panel discussion with Prof Tony Fretton, Prof Maria Segantini and Liza Fior
Tony Fretton and Liza Fir
Question and Answer
Theme:
“This house
believes the needs of public space should lead urban interventions”.
Historically the
architects design role springs from the clients Statement of
Need/Brief. This may or may not engage with public space/contextual
issues. The relation between building and context both interior and
exterior is however at the very core of architecture. On the other
hand, many very successful historic contexts have been created
without the intervention of architects. Furthermore architectural
intervention in the past has not always been successful. Are
architects the best people to work with public space? Should the
interventions of architects lead public space design or should the
needs of public space lead architects, their clients and the design
of buildings?
