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.

Thu 30 and Fri 31 Jan Open Jury


You can take your work down now. thank you. Some of your portfolios are in Christoph's office. (If you want them back next week ask him. it might be that some pages are scattered across other portfolios) 

What you should get out of this 2-day event and what needs to get back into your portfolio is a critical view on what the bigger picture is, in which you wish to engage with and what the beginning of a personal architectural position / agenda within that architectural field is?
