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.

Think about what specific activities you observed on your variou site visits. What was going on in the proximity of your section-line / in the area of your fragment? what are people doing? what traces of activities did you encounter? Did something occur? Did you speak to anybody? What different times and days have you visited our study area. What changes have you noticed? some of those questions will become a starting point for tomorrow....
