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.

Site visit Day 1

Welcome to Unit A.

Site visit on Fri 27 Sept.
We will meet at 10.00 at Smithfield Market in London, see map. Central covered area.
Closest tube is Farrindgon station or Barbican (Hammersmith & City Line / Metropolitan / Circle Line) alternatively St. Paul's if you take the Central line.

Please bring your sketchbook (at least A5 / A4 in size), a really good pen or pencil (2B or softer) (no crappy bic pens please, grrrrrr), a tape-measure and camera and any other instrument you might find useful.

We will spend the entire day outside walking, looking and sketching the city - so appropriate clothing for that. We aim to finish by 17.00 with an opportunity to socialise after (optional).

In preparation for tomorrow, please take the time to print and read this short text "The Street Scene" by Berthold Brecht about methodology on epic theatre. Take this with you and mark up the key aspects.

In case you get lost or are late here / can't find us. CJ: 07903 224 894
