LSBU Architecture 2017 The ethos of LSBU architecture is to broaden opportunity for all students wishing to join the profession, and then develop their skills as versatile problem solvers. LSBU is proud to have always supported part time study - and we intend to complement this with an apprenticeship programme very soon. Our ambition is to speculate on the future, and make proposals for what that future might look and feel like. The intention is to establish a position on innovative resource efficient design, emphasising our established interests in materiality and making, and develop new formal propositions reflecting the social complexity of the 21st century. Architecture here concerns itself with the creation of hope, a clear conviction that architecture has a significant cultural and social role, and the belief that an environment where audacious ideas are offered will create positive change. Making new propositions for the city is an exciting responsibility we accept, and enjoy. Urban form and operation use a template that has shifted very little in real terms since the classical era. We urgently need to test other models. These might include asking how architects can make interventions in informality, how we probe intense verticality and hyper density, and how creating pockets in the existing fabric of the overground, or the nooks and burrows of the underground can create different relationships between work and leisure. Whilst London remains a well-established test bed for LSBU, ideas were also hatched in Seoul, Tokyo, and Venice – as well as stretches of the British coastline varying between idyllic Norfolk, and the bleaker stretches of Essex. This is vitally important. It seems unlikely that any student of architecture will in the future ever be tied to single orthodoxies of methodology, geographical location, or career. We need therefore to create highly adaptable graduates. Finally, I want to thank our students, academic colleagues, practitioners, and our Dean, Professor Charles Egbu, for their support. LSBU architecture is, like every creative activity, a work in progress and I am grateful for every contribution made to this. Lilly Kudic professor head of architecture

MArch: Master of Architecture The principal aims of the programme are to focus on innovation in design, construction, and resource efficient technology, ensuring students acquire skills and methodologies relevant to contemporary professional practice, and develop the ability to produce complex and diverse design proposals, where complexity is seen in terms of intellectual density rather than an emphasis on large scale development. Architecture is a practice in constant flux, affected by its wider context, whilst simultaneously affecting our existing society, culturally, politically, and technologically. The necessary demand for design innovation, critical awareness, and professional practice are principal objectives that are grounded in architectural education. Design studios, research, and practice are fundamental to individual and collective development. The studio acts as the catalyst, proposing questions about our 21st century condition. Research enables students to theorise agendas that elucidate and overcome challenges, whilst practice enables such innovations to be built and tested. This theoretical and practical dichotomy does not alleviate us from risk, but without opportunities for experimentation, our discipline would be wholly ineffective. The diversity and complexity of our built environment demands our participation in ways that respond to an agenda for change. Discourse is an integral part of discovery and inquiry inherent in the Masters level of study of this deep and complex subject. Our courses are here to educate and challenge students’ perceptions of architecture, rather than simply a means to an end within building production. This means that the opportunities provided here at LSBU should engage all students intellectually in ways that harness their capabilities as future architects. Our multi-dimensional, polyvalent view of architecture embraces the discourse’s potential, over and above a restrictions of choice. Collectively, we believe that architecture remains a poignant force for social, environmental, civic, and formal change – in short, that architecture really does matter. Reflecting this in students’ work is a collective responsibility that has to be seized with passion.

Studio 23 Lilly Kudic Luke Murray “…beauty today can have no other measure except the depth to which a work resolves contradictions. A work must cut through the contradictions and overcome them, not by covering them up, but by pursuing them…” Theodor Adorno: Functionalism Today By developing a 21st century understanding of geometry, proportion and order, the work of Studio 23 seeks to resolve contradictions in architecture by recognising that things which seem solid and inactive (societies, landscapes, buildings etc.) are actually always in a state of action. Architecture must act in ways that promotes change, because architecture is not simply a derivative of formalism, but instead must offer models of political, social and technological purpose. Architecture becomes building when it refuses to challenge and question our society. The overall themes for the year in Studio 23 included vectorial drift and assemblage, where fluidity, exchangeability, and multi-functionality offered new perspectives on architectural discourse. How could components in plan and section become kinetic and affect the others around them, to inform architectural space against the modularity of sameness? Our investigations into strategies for assemblage were two-fold: • mathematics, scale, proportion, rhythm and symmetry as an implicit part of structural integrity, and a derivative of harmony • urban and peri-urban landscapes formed the boundaries of our activities MArch 1 worked on the seashore at Holkham Bay to examine the concept of structure as space. The project asked how a hothouse capturing nature might be developed among the dunes and pine trees of a coastal location where site form is modified daily by the wind and sea.

The design thesis project was the Fun Palace Futures project set in Seoul. One of the hardest, longest working hours societies in the world, making it a 21st Century, global power. South Korea also has one of the most volatile political cultures. Notions of protest and resistance are often or always taken to the street. Working in partnership with students and staff from Myongji University in Seoul, we asked how such a phenomenon could be matched to the wired nature of this city, and generate new architecture to sooth and mend these complex urban conditions. 4

Tower 2 - Hydro Energy Research Education Tidal power or tidal energy is a form of hydropower that converts the energy obtained from tides into useful forms of power, mainly electricity. Although not yet widely used, tidal power has potential for future electricity generation. Tides are more predictable than the wind and the sun.

(Re)Source This year the re/source studio 22 left London for a short break, to investigate how the city can be resourced without destroying the planet. After last year’s Walworth programme which was published as a research paper, the open landscapes of Grain allowed a broader range of issues for the studio to investigate. The Isle of Grain is a unique landscape which has both the traditional Kent agricultures and both modern and redundant industrial landscapes. It is where energy for the metropolis is generated - Kingsnorth, the UK’s last coal power station (currently being dismantled), a new LNG power plant reprocessing gas to supplement the last of North sea gas, and just offshore is the London Array wind farm. The Isle also has a long tradition of growing foods for London. Hops, apples, asparagus, wheat, and others have been grown here for centuries. Sitting at the mouth of the Thames, it also has 3 container ports supplying goods to London and the UK. Many of the projects looked at innovative ways of providing alternative energies, food production and construction techniques to allow for a future zero carbon city. Programmes such as lithium production, the salvaging of a city, super productive landscapes, e-waste, timber production, several energy research programmes and health were seen as supplementing the need for resourcing both the land and the city. In researching local and global issues many of the projects are designed to be applicable worldwide. Our study trip to Japan allowed us an insight into timber construction, the ‘mat building’ and the exquisite landscapes of Kyoto and beyond. The traditional architecture we explored helped us understand how the present can evolve meaningfully. The Shinkansen pass allowed us to travel widely across Japan from Kyoto/Osaka, Nara, Gifu, Kanazawa, Naoshima, Hiroshima and Tokyo. 12

Grain Tower

Grain Fort is a former artillery fort located just east of the village of Grain, Kent. It was constructed in the 1860s to defend the confluence of the Rivers Medway and Thames during a period of tension with France.

Red Sands

London Array

The Maunsell Forts are armed towers built in the Thames and Mersey estuaries during the Second World War to help defend the United Kingdom. They were operated as army and navy forts,and named after their designer, Guy Maunsell. The forts were decommissioned in thelate 1950s

The London Array is a 175 turbine 630MW Round 2 offshore wind farm located 20 km off the Kent coast in the outer Thames Estuary in the United Kingdom. It is the largest offshore wind farm in the world, and the largest wind farm in Europe by megawatt capacity. Set among London Array’s 175 turbines are two identical offshore substations, located either side of the site and some 6.5km apart. The substations receive the electricity generated by the turbines at 33kV.

Knock John Navy Fort

Knock John reached its final position and was sunk on 1st August 1942. It was the forth and last of its kind. The other three were, in order of placement, Roughs Tower, Sunk Head Tower and Tongue Sands. Tongue Sands was destroyed by a storm in the mid-1990s.

Poetics in Dwelling The everyday process of being in a dwelling, a home or another space, relates back to being in the world and the relationship between one and others, between our own space and wider spaces and environments - from the smallest retreat to a larger co-housing project. We will investigate this through a single family dwelling in a semi-urban setting. Innovation will be paramount, not only in the design but also in technology, materials, energy consumption and passive designs. Unit 21 has been investigating housing as a subject throughout the year. Housing in the UK and London is currently an area which requires not only the quantity but also the quality of it to be raised and examined. The unit has been exploring new types of co-housing along with multi user housing typologies. Fourth years have been looking at new models of co-housing in Teddington Lock which addresses a contextual and social brief, and fifth years have been exploring new forms and models for multi user high density inner city housing, the site being the former petrol station along Shoreditch high street. In both cases a sense of community, sustainability, context and innovation has been encouraged.

History and Theory Paul Davies Postgraduate studies address the cultural dimension of architecture through modules designed to develop students’ intellectual faculties and critical awareness. A seminar addressing a suite of readings is conducted through both live debate and interactive blogging, prompting students to generate a vocabulary for architectural criticism. We see the History and Theory programmes within the architectural school as a steady progression from overall survey in BA year one to specialist dissertation in the final year of MArch. In first year western architectural history is retold, followed by a course on city development. In second year we base the course around Reputations, a regular feature within the Architectural Review delving deeper in to the context surrounding major figures and their work. In third year we move to a more interactive format, debating ideas in architecture from ‘Rationalism’ to ‘Profit’. Joining the MArch, students pursue a course of Critical Readings where ten texts, from Paul Mason and Henri Lefebvre to Jane Rendell and Evelyn Waugh, both academic and less so, are dissected to broaden each students’ critical platform, and this is followed by a course on Research Methods preparing them for their dissertation. We are pleased to welcome our Research Professor, Dr Teresa Stoppani to the team, and I would like to acknowledge the valuable assistance of Luke Murray, Je-UK, Andrew Stoane, Sean Griffiths & Kevin Rhowbotham in delivering our courses this year, as well as thanking all second readers of the dissertations.

MArch Technology Energy and Resource Efficiency in Design Brian Murphy Technical Thesis Lilly Kudic Innovation is tied to seeing architectural practice as a balancing of formal and functional change with socially responsible technologies. Technological thinking at postgraduate level is an amalgam of creative structural, constructional, and material sensibility allied to the ethical responsibility for minimising energy usage through resource efficient specification. The MArch 1 year develops students’ understanding of energy conservation, the reduction of environmental impact using appropriately specified building materials and systems, consideration of strategies for resource and energy efficient design relevant to professional practice, and the application of environmental research data to developing and supporting design proposals for the projects undertaken in the design studios.

Professional Practice part 1/part 2 Kathy Gal BA[Hons]Architecture Course objectives The objectives of this course are to introduce, reflect on, and question professional practice, practice themes, and the relationships between the different influences, constraints, and aspirations in theoretical, and actual design and construction. Students are introduced to professional, ethical, financial, statutory and regulatory topics and, by reference to real projects, consider issues of conflicting demands and successful integration. The course is currently provided in the final year of studies to both full- and part-time students. Course structure Lectures and seminars on professional practice are provided weekly, through Semester 2. The topics covered include the purposes and intentions of architecture as a discipline, a profession and a business; the nature of current practice; professional, legal, regulatory issues; forms of practice, and practice and business styles and finally, aspirations and strategies for future practice. Assignment The objectives of the assignment are to consider current legislative and professional constraints and, by reference to a self-selected published UK building completed within the last two years, research and analyse a series of topics to understand difficulties and successes. Students are asked to role-play project development as if the selected project had not yet been constructed. Using their research and analysis, they are asked to make a case for the likelihood of success for the project to a client. Students work in groups to prepare the presentation, and also complete individual essays which focus on an aspect of the project and offer suggestions for improvement. MArch: Master of Architecture Course objectives This course comprises Professional Practice and Design Economics. The objectives of the Professional Practice component are to develop and question professional practice and practice themes introduced at an earlier stage of study and encountered in practical training experience. Students are introduced to the approaches to comprehensive and critical integration of practice issues with design and design considerations, and recognition of the enhanced capabilities that this awareness and skill provides. The course is currently provided in the final year of studies to both full- and part-time students. Course structure Lectures and seminars on Professional Practice are provided weekly through Semester 1. The topics covered include the purposes and intentions of architecture as a discipline, a profession and a business; the nature of current practice; professional, legal, regulatory issues; forms of practice, and practice and business styles and finally, aspirations and strategies for future practice. Topics are covered in greater breadth and depth, and developed to a level appropriate to the year of study. Assignment The assignment objectives are to research current professional and legislative constraints, and consider how these influence, affect and change how building projects are realised and how, by knowledge and ability, personal professional capabilities may be improved. Students select one of their own projects from an earlier year and to relocate it to a self-selected site UK in the current time. They research planning, regulatory, costs and procurement issues, and apply these to their project, identifying what must or could change to achieve compliance or offer improvements without loss of design intent and integrity. Finally, they reflect on the professional approach adopted by a practice where they have worked, and set out their own aspirations and strategies for their professional activities in the future.

BA[Hons] Architecture The LSBU Bachelors course in architecture offers a design-focused education addressing the building of intellectual, practical, and professional skills that prepare students in their first cycle of learning for global professional practice in the contemporary world. Design remains the core integrative activity, with the vertical studio system in BA2 and BA3 years (and their part time equivalents) offering students choice in developing specific interests in architecture in groups combining full time and part time students. The range of topics reflects a new dynamic in the teaching and learning of architecture, to critically acknowledge the diversity of our students - always a distinctive dimension of the BA[Hons]Architecture course. Design practice and research-informed teaching is reinforced in the studios with opportunities to shadow staff project work and research interests, working with teaching teams that include practitioners, specialist designers, and visiting architects and critics. LSBU studio culture is reinforced by talks, public events, and field trips allowing students to benefit from architecture’s strong links with industry, professional bodies, and the wider architectural community. Following review of the course to actively respond to feedback received over the year, there are four design studios: • Studio 1: Andrew Stoane/Dan Gullan • Studio 2: Mike Hickey/Luke Zuber • Studio 3: Je-Uk Kim/Charles Gibault • Studio 4: Seamus Ward/Dan Wilkinson

Studio 4 Seamus Ward Dan Wilkinson Studio 4 looks to engage with architectural design in its current context through drawing and visual studies. Through considering the act of drawing as both a perceptual and conceptual tool, we aim to incorporate the history of architecture with the issues it currently faces, such as; global warming and contemporary political factors. The history of architecture is inseparable from a history of sketching, and as such we use drawing - both in a traditional and contemporary sense - as a method to draw forth designs which react to these given conditions. The common response to current environmental issues by architects can be perceived as an overreliance on off-the-shelf solutions and abstract statistics. Looking to counter this, Studio 4 engages with these same issues through design itself - how might our buildings work through actively engaging with the weather and its predicted fluctuations? This has been approached within the studio through investigating ideas of function and occupation away from the generic, these investigations being cultivated through drawing itself.

Studio 3 Je-Uk Kim Charles Gibault Postcapitalism Paul Mason argues that “we are entering the postcapitalist era without us noticing,” in his book, ’Postcapitalism: A Guide to Our Future’. Increase of noncapitalist and open-source commodities in digital economy brought by the advancement of information technology challenges the factors of production predicated. Transition from the neoliberalist capitalism to post-capitalism requires us to re-evaluate the lifestyle we were used to differently in revolutionary sense in order to operate in new era. Mason used the term ‘New human being’ in his book. At this junction, ‘Infrastructure to Post-capitalism’ investigates how we can respond/react architecturally to support the transition from neoliberalist capitalism to postcapitalism by researching/analysing wide range of topics of interest and proposing metaphoric and literal infrastructure to post-capitalism. Studio 3 visited Seoul, Korea as it is an exemplary city where it demonstrates the rise and fall of neoliberalism; epitomised by wealth imbalance, globalisation, environmental problems and demographic crisis being big problems for the society, in a very short span of time. Students proposed strategic programs as a response to their own version of the transition to post-capitalism. It is metaphoric infrastructure through a series of analysis and researches. They re-evaluated conventional typologies to hybridise at a programmatic level in architectural scale. They also interrogated different kinds of boundary conditions to establish relationship between programmes as cultural agencies. Programmes included/redefined various range and mode of working/manufacturing, community based spaces, cultural institution and so on. The list is not limited and open-ended.

Studio 2 Michael Hickey Luke Zuber To assemble is to gather together into a single place for a common purpose. It describes both the bringing together of objects into a single unity as well as the coming together of individuals into a single group. As such it recognises both the importance of the individual component parts, as well as the unified whole. To assemble is also to describe the act of constructing and to MAKE. These 3 readings of Assemble: 1. the Individual Component and Unified Whole, 2. The Individual person (Private) and Community (Public) and 3. To Make: are the common threads that informs all of the Studio analysis and subsequent architectural proposals Architecture: The art or science of designing and creating buildings - Merriam Webster Studio 2 believes that good design emanates from the recognition that the areas of art and science seamlessly overlap and that the conceptual proposal must be informed and enriched by the designer’s engagement with the plastic reality of Making. Architecture is a 3-dimensional outcome and our students are encouraged to explore their ideas through extensive use of the workshop facilities to elaborate and test both the form and materiality of their proposals through the process of model-making.

Architecture and Connectivity Through its theme of connectivity, studio 1 confronts two of the most urgent issues facing the contemporary city – infrastructure and housing. It investigates not architecture’s formative role in infrastructures themselves, but its potential to recalibrate programmes around their points of connectivity with the city – the psychological connectivity of public and private domains, through the building envelope, and sociological connectivity, through architecture’s ability to orchestrate new forms of publicness. Semester 1 tested architecture’s mediation of infrastructural operations, beginning with an urbanscale project involving strategic interventions into LSBU’s campus, devised to affect temporal patterns of pedestrian movement and interaction. Next, the analytical field narrowed and the focus switched to transportation infrastructures, localising findings onto two sites in Edinburgh, an urban railway station and a proto-urban tram terminus on deindustrialised docklands. Propositions were made for public activities, connecting with the associated infrastructural networks and processes. Semester 2 returned to London, consolidating discoveries and introducing the second component, housing. It developed knowledge of key parameters in apartment building design, before locating projects on tube station sites, questioning how the activity of the tube could be productively tapped to stimulate a new public-realm, itself connected to public housing in the air space above; thus avoiding the over-burdened and finite commodity of the ground.

BA (Hons) Year 1 Steve Bowkett Tim Jones Sue Phillips Semester 1: Assignment 1 ‘Visible Cities …..Invisible Cities’ After the initial introductory project ‘What are you like’, the first assignments of the year will focus on the students engaging and analyzing the environment and cityscape between the Campus and the ‘South Bank’ through the medium of hand drawing. ‘Visible Cities’ is set as a series of weekly assignments that focused on the measurable and palpable aspects of public spaces around the university; street scale and proportion, building profiles, journey and storyboarding, image and legibility. As a pedagogical counterpoint to ‘visible cities’ we then introduced the notion of ‘the City of memory, dreams and illusion’ via the book ‘Invisible Cities” by the author Italo Calvino. The book, a series of descriptions of fantasy cities, reinterprets the journey of the 13th century explorer Marco Polo across the Tartar Empire. Each student was invited to interpret the text of one of the cities described and make a model to a given format followed by a series of orthogonal and experimental drawings. Assignment 2 ‘ A Room in the City’ With the students acting as their own client, this project will focus on the design of a small interior apartment within a 5 metre cube. The space will accommodate a place to; wash, to cook, to eat, to sleep and an area for study. The project is a vehicle for the understanding of scale through drawing plans, sections and making models.

Semester 2: Assignment 3 ‘Craft Space’; A Craft and Design Workshop The major project of the year focused on the design of a small crafts studio to accommodate workshop space for two crafts people with a similar interest. Our students were invited to select and study a craft of their choice and explore the relationship between the craft techniques and materials and the resultant spatial needs. The connection between the craft and the appropriate technology and the cultural background then became the driving parti for each of the student’s individual responses. Simultaneously supporting these assignments throughout the year Communications and Technology studies will investigate contemporary art practice, technological material studies and engineering projects (bridge design) to encourage an integrated approach to the teaching of all subjects across the academic year.

Communication I / II Federico Rossi Tim Jones The aim of this project was to experiment with a variety of processes in making and in meaning to alter and reconstruct a time honored form of recorded communication.....the book. Students were required to purchase 2 books with different subject matter. Book 1 Technical ..... having special knowledge especially of a mechanical or scientific subject. Book 2 Cultural ..... a way of life , the general customs and beliefs of a particular group of people at a particular time. It is important when selecting a book that the potential of how this may be physically transformed is considered, using the graphic and intellectual content in the book as a starting point. The chosen books will become the focus of the communications project in which the processes and alterations made will be recorded and edited into the ‘BOOK X2’. The resulting piece of work (the new book) will be principle submission and will be inclusive of skills learnt during Federico Rossi’s Semester 1 CAD workshops. The process of integration and inspiration from the nature of the books is to be approached both digitally and manually to give students an opportunity to carve, cast, collage, etc as well as an opportunity to use digital methods e.g. Photoshop, laser cutting and 3D printing . It is expected that the student will alter physically in stages substantial proportions of the books. This may be undertaken archaeologically, sculpturally and methodically by dissection or by removal of pages, to redact, in order to reconstruct the content . High quality, well lit photographs of this process should be taken including text describing the intention and methods used in the making of the book. NB This process demands a range of creative skills. Both the physical... collaging, carving, cutting, material changes as well as the conceptual strategies needed to communicate a design development process.

BA Technology Essential Structures Lilly Kudic Technology 1 [studio] Steve Bowkett Technology 2 Je-Uk Kim Technology 3 The course overall provides a rich introduction to tectonic thinking and detailed exploration of technology in architecture. This develops students’ understanding of how construction technologies, processes, and techniques at the scale of detail resonate with ideas articulated at a more global scale, and thus can reinforce a design argument. Technology is approached as a means of imagining the materiality and stability fundamental to the design process, and involves definition of a critical strategy by each individual student. All BA technology modules investigate the subject area as interconnected to strategic architectural design thinking. Lectures provide understanding in principle and practice of structural terminology and systems, introducing a range of technologies from traditional, contemporary, and progressive construction to innovative and emergent materials and fabrication. These allow students to identify and encapsulate the constructional and environmental ideas supporting their design proposals, and develop awareness of technology as an ordering system for driving architectural concepts. Through the union of design thinking and constructional knowledge, the speculative design proposal established by students is strengthened by technological insight.

01 December 2016

James Soane is a qualified architect, teacher and writer having studied at Cambridge and the Bartlett graduating with distinction. He set up Project Orange with Christopher Ash and joined full-time in 2001 having been a director of Sir Terence Conran’s design company where he worked on a number of high profile projects including the Great Eastern Hotel in London, Ark Hills in Tokyo, Bridge Market in New York and Das Triest hotel in Vienna.

Harbinder Birdi, Senior Partner and Head of Infrastructure at Hawkins/Brown will be discussing a number of the practices infrastructure projects within London that respond to the city’s increasing population. Using the practices designs for three Crossrail stations and Thames Tideway Tunnel, the talk will bridge the disciplines of architecture, engineering and fine art and will debate how good interdisciplinary design can be achieved.

Andrew Morris is an Associate Director at Canary Wharf Group, and has been involved since its inception on the redevelopment of the Shell Centre site on the South Bank. As a trained architect, Andrew has previously worked for a number of notable practices including Ahrends Burton and Koralek where he worked on the British Embassy in Moscow.

Project Orange was set up by Christopher Ash and James Soane in 1997. Their belief is that their varied approach to architecture is underpinned by sound technical logic, common sense and a spatial intelligence. A successful project needs a successful idea and a good narratives that are accessible to clients, which means they are more likely to understand the whole process. The practice is hands on, designing, drawing, negotiating, sharing ideas as well as billing, learning and making coffee. Right now James is the Director of Critical Practice at the London School of Architecture, which is an exciting new educational model.

Since 1988, Hawkins\Brown have won or been shortlisted for over 150 awards, and are proud to have won accolades such as the AJ Employer of the Year and AJ Practice of the Year, along with being shortlisted for the RIBA Stirling Prize.

As a Development Manager for Canary Wharf, Andrew has been involved with a number of different projects across London, including: RSH’s scheme at Riverside South. Fosters+Partners Canary Wharf Crossrail Station. South Bank Place; the redevelopment of Shell’s offices at Waterloo. Lollard Street; the off-site affordable development for South Bank Place, with 96 units and a new nursery. Phase 1 of Wood Wharf; the new mixed use development at Canary Wharf including over 3,300 new homes.

Events LSBU Open Lecture The LSBU Open Lecture developed from the idea that students, academics, and practitioners could attend a series of mid-week evening presentations examining very different models of professional practice. The Open Lecture series provided a very constructive and comprehensive review of how architects define the way they work to support their ideas about architecture.

Carl Turner 24 November 2016 LSBU alumnus Carl Turner is founding director of Carl Turner Architects and co-founder of Pop Brixton, Peckham Levels and social enterprise Make Shift. Carl Turner Architects (CTA) is a multi-disciplinary general practice which works across a range of project scales and typologies, from furniture and interior design, bespoke one-off houses, through to larger urban design/regeneration projects, innovative work space solutions, and cultural and arts projects. The practice sees itself as ‘thinkers and makers’, and have acted as contractors and developers from time to time. This gives the practice a unique viewpoint and what they believe to be a very unusual skill set. CTA has developed a particular specialism in temporary or ‘meanwhile’ regeneration projects with their Pop Brixton workspace campus and Peckham Levels, the conversion of a 1980’s multi-storey car park in Peckham into artists’ studios, co-working and maker spaces, along with public and events spaces.

Shell Centre Hoardings at Southbank Place 2016 In October 2016 two architecture students from LSBU unveiled their design for facetted mirrored hoardings at Southbank Place, after winning a competition to transform a 13 metre long stretch of Sutton Walk that borders the Shell Centre redevelopment site. The use of mirrors was inspired by Rufus Butler Seder, whose LifeTiles installations are featured globally – and the 1963 film ‘A Look at Life’, which was released when the Shell Centre first opened and focused on the daily activities of people work¬ing in the newly opened building. Using a basic plywood structure, the challenge was in perfecting the intricate mirror angles to accurately reflect the passing pedestrians’ image the length of the narrow walk way – and at the same time communicate vital information about the entire LSBU architecture programme. Conceived by Canary Wharf Group and Qatari Diar, joint developers of the Shell Centre mixedused scheme, the competition emphasised the developers’ commitment to community engagement and championing of the local environment. LSBU is particularly grateful to Manuela Zwingmann Wood and Andrew Morris (Canary Wharf Group), and James Herbst (Octink) for their patience and support in seeing this project to completion.
