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?
