At A+D we foster a broad and inspiring education to establish a rich foundation for a creative professional life. Our Architecture and Design programmes challenge assumptions and set new agendas for design in the 21st century. We balance the development and support of our students’ talents with the understanding that Architecture and Design is contextual, socially constructing and political. We believe that the design conversation in studios between students and staff across models and drawings is central to creative development. Our students are encouraged to undertake study trips internationally in each year of study to deepen an understanding of people and places. Our teaching balances a respect and understanding of the past and the present with an inspirational, poetic and innovative stance towards the future.

Our staff teach at the highest level and maintain an enquiring research approach to physical and intellectual contexts. We embrace real situations with passion and creativity. We believe that a depth of enquiry and poetic experimentation develops from the experience and understanding of making, drawing and materials in well-crafted output. We believe that Architecture and Design is thought, experienced and built. Our school acts as a forum for ideas and thought across a wide range of disciplines. We host a national and international lecture series which acts as a magnet for theorists and practitioners to contribute to the discussion and debate in the school. We have extensive workshops and facilities for the creation of real and digital artefacts.

It gives me great pleasure to introduce this year’s edition of the Architecture and Design Yearbook. I hope that you enjoy the work that is on show at this year’s impressive exhibition. This year’s book is full of a wide range of very inspiring and creative projects developed by our talented students in partnership with leading architecture practices. By closely working with leading employers and practitioners, we strive to offer our students the best experience possible to ensure they are ready for the workplace and capable of providing solutions to global challenges. Our highly regarded staff are engaged in high impact applied research which transforms lives and society. We are extremely proud to be situated as an anchor institution at the heart of east London and, for the last forty years, have been at the forefront of working in collaboration with local urban design practices and community stakeholders in order to develop a distinctive offer in Architecture and Design. I am thrilled with the quality and standards of this year’s students’ work which presents a comprehensive profile of our students, reflects creative thinking and a holistic approach to design. This year has been a milestone in the history of the University of East London by welcoming a new Vice-Chancellor and President Professor Amanda Broderick, introduction of Vision 2028 and its transformational projects, launching a new brand, and establishing Career Zones in partnership with worldclass organisations just to name a few. My very sincere thanks to those colleagues, practitioners and alumni who continue to work together to make architecture the flagship area that it is. I take this opportunity to wish all graduates a very successful and bright future. We hope you will remain in touch with us as you forge ahead in your careers, remembering that it all began at the University of East London.

Welcome

Architecture Art and Design after Unity

The Play of Assembly and the Assembly of Play (1) Notre Dame The burning roof of Notre Dame Cathedral in Paris is one of the most powerful and disquieting of images. Newsreel at the scene captured the disorientation and helplessness felt by onlookers and was broadcast live around the world. I suspect the experience of loss evidenced in so many faces was not for a quantity of oak and glass and lead, but for a connection to a distant past when there seemed to be a unity of art and science, of belief and religious practice and of work and material. This sense of cohesion can be experienced not only in the high art of Cathedrals but in many indigenous vernacular structures around the world created before the advent of what we think, very broadly, as modern life. To our divided contemporary lives the mediaeval period thus appears overwhelmingly as a cohesive experience of unity. Unity as a play of assembly But unity is very much a putting together, a composite, or assembly. When we think more closely about the cathedral, it is a work by many over many hundreds of years. The cathedral is the moment at which the arts of many periods can be experienced simultaneously in playful relationship. Gadamer argues that this play relationship in a work of Art is the mode of being of the work (2). We think of the play of light, of shadow, of content, of colour, of material, of the design process and we could also think of this play as a kind of theatre or play as performance. Holistic thinking In contrast to this cohesive world of experience, the tendency toward separation as a modus operandi of academic thought has proliferated since the 17C largely due to the success of science and mathematics to unravel apparent mysteries and to explain the world around us. Fighting against this tendency to deconstruct, fragment, quantify and explain has been a more holistic understanding which looks for relationships between apparently disparate events and how they interact and are experienced.

Universities have a key role to play in leading new holistic thinking in the 21C. Thinking about our work here at UEL in Architecture Art and Design we are well placed to benefit from the close proximity of the arts programmes operating in the department of Architecture and Visual Art (AVA). Throughout this academic year staff have been revisiting their programmes to explore how a closer clustering of the programme groups could benefit and enhance the student experience and to more closely align these programmes to each other and the world of practice. This new clustering will allow many new synergies to enrich our work. In the light of this, I am delighted by the many varied activities of students and staff both within their programmes and working across programmes. In Architecture, for example, in response to the housing crisis, students have been experimenting with housing design both here in the UK and internationally, in both in the post graduate and undergraduate programmes. In Interior Design students collaborated with the Hackney Pirates on this community-engaging live design project. The UEL MA Interior Design students, led by Dr Anastasia Karandinou, designed and built a real-scale interactive stage-set; an imaginative immersive environment for the Hackney Pirates performances. BSc Architecture students exhibited their work in the Front Room Gallery at the V&A Museum of Childhood, Bethnal Green. Their projects titled, titled “Playing with Buildings” included a series of 1:1 prototypes of spatial designs, models, and drawings of the designs, photography and film. I am also very grateful for the support given to us by many sponsors and practitioners. In particular I would mention the STO Foundation, sponsors our international lecture series, who have through international practitioners visiting the school done so much to enrich the design conversation of the students and staff. I would also like to thank the practitioners who contribute to the national lecture series including the Architecture Society lecture series, the Detour Ahead and the Art Lecture series and who visit for crits and reviews. These lectures have considerably

enriched the thinking that drives our work. I would like to thank the students who have assisted with these societies including the president of the student society Julian Roncancio with deputies Andreea Camelia, Alex Malden and Aaliah Taylor. We are also very grateful to the practitioners who have been mentoring students and offering placements on the RIBA programme and on their own account. In particular we mention Sir Robert Mc Alpine, British Land for their continued mentoring and sponsorship of student competitions. It is through debate and collegiate working across university and practice that agendas for change might emerge. In this way the school acts as a forum for the development and exchange of ideas. The opening of the June Showcase coincides with the London Festival of Architecture (LFA) and the Royal Albert Docks Education and Enterprise Festival. It has been a strong year for staff success and in particular I would mention the RIBA President’s Award for Research in Ethics and Sustainability 2019 won by Roland Karthaus, with contributors: Anthony Hu, Lucy Block, Agata Korsak (Matter and UEL) Rachel O’Brien, Lily Bernheimer, Richard Barnes (consultants). Performance Artist Eliza Soroga (International Arte Laguna Prize) and Dr Anastasia Karandinou (Senior lecturer, University of East London) led a 4-day crossdisciplinary workshop in Athens, exploring visible and invisible boundaries, thresholds, territories and dynamics in public space, through body-movement exercises, photography, filming, and a range of analysis and composition methods. The Play of Assembly and the Assembly of Play At the core of our teaching philosophy is the relationship developed between staff and students and the play of the design process. Students are taught in small groups, one to one, in studios, in workshops, and lecture halls. Our project work follows a systematic pattern of investigation, experiment and innovation. I would like to thank the students and staff for their work this year, and to wish those students leaving the school every success. I am reminded that our word University derives from the Latin Universitas meaning

whole or community. Our community is made of Students, Staff and Alumni. Please stay in touch with us. Could Architecture, Art and Design after Unity be understood as a manifesto? Could the use of “after” be thought of as “in search of”? Architecture, Art and Design in search of Unity. If so, could this new kind of unity really be a holistic play of assembly? This introduction is not therefore simply a plea for interdisciplinarity but an encouragement to situate the play and experiment of the design process within the broadest possible thinking. This book is by necessity the briefest assembly of many ideas, the briefest glimpse into our unfolding of knowledge and values. It assembles our playful experimentation and playful experimentation is the very best output of human endeavour. Notes 1.

An inclusive research environment

The research environment within Architecture at UEL is purposefully framed in order to offer a clear pathway for development within all our area of research. Its structure provides strong connectivity between Masters level through doctoral study to Early Career Researchers, facilitated through the management of major grant capture. Sharing key values around public engagement, real-world solutions and sustainable resolutions to research questions is embedded into teaching programmes at all levels as well as research. Within Architecture this begins as Masters students work with researchers on live projects (the RIBA Presidents research award winning Fabric formwork, as one example) or on prototyping innovative construction or engaging with NGO’s such as Article 25 on the resolution of real world challenges in providing buildings for communities in postdisaster or environmentally vulnerable situations). Our technical workshops in wood, metal, casting and reprographics are essential components of the hands-on approach that underpins our commitment to student engagement in research practice revolving around technical innovation (e.g. prototyping test structures for disaster relief NGO Article 25, with projects in Burkina Faso, Haiti, Sierra Leone, Nigeria and to support local community action research, realising built projects for community groups, Healthcare Trusts, Local Authorities and Schools. Our student construction collaboration with Studio Bark, an alumni architecture practice delivered two completed buildings for clients using their prototype self-build system and helped secure their award of ‘Sustainability Architect of the year 2017’. In total, UEL Architecture students have built six buildings with Studio Bark, as part of their MArch RIBA Part II technical studies. The Architecture MRes led by Anna Minton has also encouraged research development through its reading of the Neoliberal city within critically acclaimed and influential publications such as ‘Ground Control’ and ‘Big Capital’ (Minton), its community engagement and its PhD-level research in London, Brighton and the Democratic Republic of Congo.

Our Researchers have worked with industry partners such as Natural England, Historic England, The Victoria and Albert Museum, Environment Agency, Heatherwick Studio, the Royal Institute of British Architects, ARUP, the Serpentine Gallery, Royal Society of Arts, the Ministry of Justice, humanitarian relief NGO Article 25, the IUCN, Groundwork London, The London Boroughs of Hammersmith and City, Tower Hamlets, Barking and Dagenham and Newham, Poplar HARCA, the RSPB, the Olympic Development Authority, London Wildlife Trust, City University, Doka GmbH (Austria), Helix GmbH (Germany) and the Institute for Sustainability. Architecture staff engaged in external academic collaborations include Anna Minton (visiting Professor Newcastle University), Alan Chandler (External Examiner Edinburgh University and visiting Professor of Heritage Universidad Catolic, Santiago de Chile) and invited exhibitor (Courtauld Institute Biennial), Renee Tobe (awarded a Paul Mellon Rome fellowship), Roland Karthaus (Visiting Professorship at IUAV Venice), Chandler (PhD co-supervision at IUAV), and Harald Trapp (research partnerships with Hochschule Trier) realised exhibitions, events and publications commemorating the bicentenary of Karl Marx. Karandinou, Snaith, Pollak, Charif and Chandler collaborated with the Middle Eastern Technical University (Ankara, Turkey), and Minton co-hosted a conference on the London Housing crisis with Birkbeck University (London). Research, teaching and building are interlinked and focussed on architecture and environmentally aware design can bring positive and equitable benefits to people and places.

The Production of heritage - a critique of building conservation published by Routledge Summer 2019 by Alan Chandler and Michela Pace

We are entering a political-social moment where the role of the State in underwriting heritage protection is disengaging from the physical reality of heritage sponsorship, maintenance and development. From public bodies such as the National Trust to local initiatives running and maintaining parks and amenities, heritage custodians are increasingly reliant on voluntary or community support to sustain themselves and their ‘assets’. However negative this shift appears, there is also the opportunity to reconsider how communities engage with their inheritance and how that built inheritance can meaningfully contribute to its locality and social fabric. The Heritage industry is a global phenomenon and as with any industry there is a business model, a means of production, shareholders and the production of surplus that frequently gains ascendancy over the rights of the individual, the community and its identity. The key question is how communities can become engaged in the complex set of issues around heritage significance and how professionals can inform this understanding. This spans across social identity, cultural awareness and tolerance, inclusivity, common history, technical conservation and capturing grant funding. How are these facets of heritage related within an easily communicated set of ideas that can empower not simply preservation or resistance to change, but the development of heritage as a social benefit? We demonstrate through case studies in London, Santiago and Shanghai that redevelopment can secure preservation without

compromising on common community needs and identities. This book is aimed at two constituencies – communities and heritage professionals: For Communities whose environment has a built history that does – or could - play an increasingly important role in their identity and everyday activities there are no publications that support their understanding of the value heritage brings to a place, and how that value can be articulated to form the basis for inclusion and sympathetic development. For Professionals, heritage is usually treated as either a technical exercise, frequently assuming that historic buildings require ‘curation’ as though they were museum objects. Another, equally technocratic view is in the role ‘Sustainability’ plays in historic buildings - the mechanics of ‘retrofit’ and energy efficiency. For us this is a partial, exclusive reading of the issue, missing the cultural context and participation that is increasingly vital to sustain the role of historic buildings and places in society. To speak with two voices of ‘community’ and ‘profession’ equally, the book is structured through five case studies that open the complexity of heritage to community groups who care for their historic environment, and to elaborate on the social value of heritage including (but beyond) pragmatic, technical conservation issues. Each case study speaks about a different facet of heritage value – as urban identity, as a commodity, as a technical construct, as an intellectual and ethical framework that can underpin community involvement in shaping historic environments for contemporary participation. What do we ‘inherit’? What is its value to us? Is that value universal or culturally conditioned? How easy is the generally accepted notion of history as a ‘common good’ open to exploitation for ulterior motives? How can communities articulate their defence of historic places in a way that secures their role in future development? We explore these issues through the lens of philosophy, ethics, analysis and material craft – a unique approach to a unique moment in history.

P13 RESEARCH AWARDS PROJECTS CONFERENCES

Heritage and building conservation is rapidly becoming a subject attracting publications and conversations – few major urban regeneration schemes fail to utilise its rhetoric to establish the credentials of the proposal, sell its unique qualities or bolster notions of establishing a grounded ‘public realm’. How well is this resurgence in ‘heritage’ understood or debated? Can the current publications on Conservation and Heritage provide roadmaps to navigate this double-bind of using the past to underpin the future? Do practitioners who invariably steer heritage based development understand the intangible aspects of a project? How do community voices contribute to the scope, intent and benefits of heritage based development?

UEL Architecture exhibit at V&A Museum of Childhood

P14 RESEARCH AWARDS PROJECTS CONFERENCES

Year 1 BSc Architecture from the University of East London have been invited to take over the Front Room Gallery at the V&A Museum of Childhood, Bethnal Green, with a year long show of their work, titled “Playing with Buildings”. The commission included a series of 1:1 prototypes of spatial designs, models, and drawings of the designs, photography and film. The museum’s upcoming renovation project, overseen by Architects De Matos Ryan, includes opening up of physical and visual boundaries within the museum, improving internal movement and accessibility of spaces, relocating teaching spaces, as well as enhancing connectivity between the museum and its local environment, spatially and programmatically. This exhibition is the final one in the current Front Room Gallery. Initiated by Teresa Hare Duke, from the Museum of Childhood, this collaborative project involved the V&A, UEL Architecture, visual and performance artists, engineers, and local primary and secondary schools.

Students worked from a brief that thematically ties in with the V&A’s ambition to change the physical and conceptual approach to the museums teaching spaces and expand its approach to learning in the museum. The designs for new Playful spaces for learning were kick-started in a series of workshops that took place in the museum. The projects were designed and build at UEL, with additional input of engineers and specialists, and installed in the gallery in February 2019. Participatory design included students facilitating workshops with local school kids at the Museum of Childhood, after installation, to test and scrutinize the designs. The workshops were documented by photographer Madeleine Waller, and the images form part of the exhibition. The exhibition is due to run till March 2020.

Interactive theatre stage set design Hackney Pirates and UEL MA Interior Design collaborative live project

P16 RESEARCH AWARDS PROJECTS CONFERENCES

The UEL MA programme in Interior Design collaborated with the Hackney Pirates on this community-engaging live design project. The UEL MA Interior Design students, led by Dr Anastasia Karandinou, designed and built a real-scale interactive stage-set; an imaginative immersive environment for the Hackney Pirates performances. The Hackney Pirates’ initiative is an after-school learning programme, and aims at helping children develop their imagination, reading and writing skills. They welcome children referred by local schools, and offer them an engaging experience that enhances not only their reading and writing skills, but also their imagination, confidence and participation. Story tellers, performers and educators take children through an imaginative journey; an interactive theatrical performance, where children take part in adventures into the sea and deserted islands. At the end of the interactive performance This design collaborative project was about transforming a conventional teaching room into a magical environment for children to take part in a performative and interactive storytelling, reading and writing workshop. The children attend an interactive theatre performance and take part in an imaginary journey, an immersive experience, guided by the storyteller. This excites their imagination and creativity; children then evolve the story further, verbally and in writing.

The environment designed by our UEL students was used for the Hackney Pirates events on the 18th - 22nd of March 2019, which was held in the UEL CASS building in Stratford. Trailer: www.youtube.com/watch?v=dSnFF04zY5I The design project of the stage set, as well as the video art, is done by the following group of MA Interior Design students: Dina Husam Jameel Al-Qusous, Birce Gural, Felicia Ivanciuc, Parisa Oreizi, Yuvraj Singh Panwar, Ishita Pathak, Sophie Savvidou, Lasata Shrestha, Esra Tekagac, Garima Thakkar, Sahar Youssef, Fatima Zahra Hadj. The sound design was done by Lalvin; the music by Lalvin and remixed extracts from Night Owl by Broke for Free. The project was supported by UEL’s Civic Engagement team. Special thanks to: Jude Williams, Anthony Mensah, Aaron Piper, from The Hackney Pirates, to Gail May, Aisha LabefoAudu, Joanne Molyneux, Natalie Freeman, from the UEL Civic Engagement team, to Francesca Zanatta from the UEL Department of Early Childhood and Education, to Carl Callaghan, Head of Architecture UEL.

Redesigning Prison: The Architecture and Ethics of Rehabilitation

P22 RESEARCH AWARDS PROJECTS CONFERENCES

RIBA President’s Award for Research in Ethics and Sustainability 2019

Since 2011, UEL lecturer Roland Karthaus and his practice Matter has been applying architectural research to improve the environment of prisons for the people and communities they serve. Spanning two major projects, the work has developed an evidence base and practical proposals for design measures to support health and wellbeing, reduce reoffending and make the state assets of land and buildings more effective in supporting the rehabilitation objectives of the prison service. The work has been widely published in journals, international press and radio, presented at numerous talks and conferences and has contributed significantly to the debate about what prison is for. In 2018 the work won an RIBA President’s award for Research and is being promoted by the Ministry of Justice as a best practice case study on Europris – the Europe-wide justice sector network. Matter is currently working on a third major research project, with Rachel O’Brien to explore how ‘open’ prisons could be expanded to help solve the current crisis in closed prisons. The architecture of prisons has been studied and theorised in the past, but mainly to understand the negative role of architecture in physical and psychological punishment and constraint. The role of prison, however is not only to punish and secure, but to rehabilitate – a concept fraught with ethical and practical difficulties, as well as being antagonistic to its other roles. As the prison service suffered over the past decade with under-investment, overpopulation and poorly designed infrastructure, violence in prisons has risen amid an emerging crisis: prison is no longer fit for purpose. Whilst being sent to prison is a punishment, the conditions within prison today are not intended to be mentally nor physically punishing and their failure in supporting people back into law-abiding life is staggering. In a typical year, just under half of all people released from prison will re-offend with an annual cost to the taxpayer of around £14 Billion. Appalling conditions have been highlighted in some prisons and in many violence and drug and alcohol abuse has spiralled upwards.

Our approach to this problem was to ask questions: What might a rehabilitative prison environment look like? How might we help the prison service shift towards that goal? At the outset we felt that the answers would lie as much in organisational change as in the architecture and so we applied our design thinking to the whole system that locks people up and builds the prisons in which to lock them. At every level, we aimed to challenge the ‘securityfirst’ approach by pointing out the inherent costs and lost opportunities and demonstrated better ways to tackle problems instead. In both projects we worked with commissioners and prison management teams to facilitate culture change. We worked with many front-line officers and prisoners to understand how they experience both the system and the architecture. In doing so, we aimed to demonstrate that consultative design provides richer, better and more sustainable answers than hierarchical decision-making.

Project 2 Wellbeing in Prisons: A design guide

Policy paper, feasibility study and researchin-action to develop a new social enterprise model for rehabilitation and resettlement around prisons. Appointed as part of a small RSA team, we undertook an extensive collaborative design process with stakeholders from across the justice sector. Working on site with HMP Humber, we developed a pilot project as proof of concept that re-purposed the surrounding land and supported officers, management and prisoners to manage the necessary organisational and cultural change.

Evidence-based, user-tested design guide to improve the health and wellbeing of people in prisons. Matter’s research team used environmental psychology to determine design measures that will improve the prison environment for staff, visitors and prisoners alike. User focus groups, walking studies and survey responses from 305 prisoners in Britain’s newest prison HMP Berwyn helped prioritise the measures. To achieve this the team designed and implemented what is believed to be the world’s first electronic survey of the effects of prison architecture completed by a large group of residents within a prison.

A Community Interest Company was established to take forward the pilot project locally and a phased masterplan and business plan were developed for implementation and fund-raising. The suite of reports published by the RSA in 2014 covered several related strands of the project, under an overarching policy paper.

The design guide serves several related purposes: to establish a method for connecting evidence with specific design measures; to set a baseline for the demonstration of benefits arising from design improvements; and to make specific proposals for how prison design should be improved. These have contributed to the Ministry of Justice’s baseline model for commissioning the new wave of modern prisons, focused on rehabilitation. Project 3 The 21st Century Open Prison Forthcoming.

The UEL research team led by Dr Heba Elsharkawy, Reader in Architecture and Programme Leader for BSc (Hons) Architecture (ARB/RIBA Part 1) and BSc (Hons) Architectural Design Technology, Dr Sahar Zahiri, Research Associate, Mr Jack Clough, Research Associate, Mr Wei Shi, Architectural Assistant and UEL PhD graduate, and Mr Bertug Ozarisoy, PhD Researcher have worked closely with Newham Council and the Building Research Establishment (BRE) over the last three years on evaluating and assessing building performance and thermal comfort of housing. The research team monitored the building performance of social housing blocks in Newham whose occupants experienced problems relating to thermal comfort, damp and energy efficiency. This data was then used to develop a building model using specialist environmental software to investigate the retrofit solutions available to alleviate the issues and reduce home operational energy. As a result of the research efforts, Newham Council can use this retrofit approach to improve the residents’ quality of life and improve the overall energy efficiency and sustainability of these social housing blocks and similar prototypes across the borough.

As for the research undertaken in collaboration with the BRE; Dr. Heba Elsharkawy and Mr Bertug Ozarisoy, PhD Researcher, had been successful in securing a UEL Graduate School funded research internship in summer 2018 at the BRE. The aim of the research was to investigate the performance of the building materials used to design affordable housing units. The research involved running extensive monitoring on one of the BRE Innovation Park’s state-of-the-art prototype buildings, Userhaus. The researcher occupied the new prototype for 4 weeks to gain a full occupant’s experience. The study included monitoring both indoor and outdoor environmental conditions concurrently with the application of Integrated Environmental Solutions (IES) software for building modelling and simulation to assess energy performance and overheating risks of this new built. The research project resulted in a journal publication published in Energy and Buildings journal in 2019: ‘Assessing overheating risk and thermal comfort in state-of-the-art prototype houses that combat exacerbated climate change in UK’.

The conference facilitated a forum to raise awareness of state-of-the-art strategies and best practice across the world of integrating sustainable design approaches in the built environment. The event included renowned keynote speakers; Prof. Phil Jones (Cardiff University), Prof. Ashraf Salama (University of Strathclyde), Prof. Sean Smith (Edinburgh Napier University), Mina Hasman (SOM), and Paulo Flores (ZHA), as well as technical seminars to promote the knowledge exchange surrounding the conference themes. The event attracted a large international audience from Europe, Africa, South America, Asia and the Middle East with 112 papers published in the conference proceedings.

University of East London – Ain Shams University Dual Degree Programme Validation The Newton BC-SDBE project resulted in the development and successful validation of three dual degree undergraduate programmes by University of East London at Ain Shams University (ASU) in Cairo, Egypt in August 2018. The validation event and partnership was witnessed by the Egyptian Minister of Higher Education. The dual degree programmes are: Environmental Architecture and Urbanism, Building Engineering, and Computer Engineering and Software Systems. The fourth SDBE training programme was held between 14 and 22 January 2019 at UEL where twelve academics from ASU representing the three newly validated programmes attended. The focus of the training was on the quality assurance processes in the UK higher education, particularly at UEL. It is hoped that the programmes will help develop more sustainability aware graduates and a future workforce that can support the delivery of Egypt’s Sustainable Development Strategy 2030 which will boost sustainability and socio-economic growth in Egypt.

Collaborative Research Project in Partnership with the Local Borough of Hackney and UEL

This research project was initiated by unit leaders Carsten Jungfer and Fernanda Palmieri and is a result of connecting studio teaching methodology with a live project context by fostering collaborative architectural and urban design practice; During the 2017-18 academic year, students engaged proactively with East London’s socio-spatial context by investigating Dalston’s highly conflicting modes of spatial production. The London Borough of Hackney became interested after seeing this work at the end of year exhibition, which kick-started a collaborative partnership between UEL and the Council’s planning department. Under the supervision of the lecturers, seven Unit A students have contributed as paid co-researchers to the ongoing project to date, allowing them to gain valuable experience as young professionals in their field. The outcome of stage 1 is a large spatial drawing (3,2 x 2,3 metres), which was produced over a twoweek summer workshop. Students utilised prior knowledge of the area and carried out additional on-the-ground analysis, interviews and surveys, covering a wide selection of local stakeholders and their respective networks. During the next stage, the drawing was then exhibited at the Print House Gallery, 18 Ashwin Street in Dalston between 8th Oct and 5th Nov 2018. The opening was attended by cross section of the community and the research outcome was seen by hundreds of visitors. During this time a series of collaborative drawing workshops were held with the stakeholders that had previously been interviewed. Feedback from these sessions was then brought back into the drawing to further advance depth and scope of the research. Phillip Glanville, the Mayor of Hackney and his planning team attended a formal presentation event delivered by the co-researchers. The Mayor of Hackney noted that the collaboration between UEL and the Council was as a unique approach and potential model for future partnerships fostering unconventional knowledge transfer, critically needed in context of current public debates relating to social impact of urban development and gentrification. Between January and March 2019, the UEL student

internship scheme allowed to further expand the scope of the project with the help of a student working as co-researcher. Currently further exhibitions are planned with Hackney Council to showcase the latest version of the drawing. co-researchers: Angelle Dimech, Dalcimaira Nunes Cardoso, Julia Skiba, Kiesse Andre, Marianne Gallagher, Nelton Bordonhos Barbosa, Nisha Anwar

Cork House wins two RIBA awards

The Cork House, Eton, designed by Matthew Barnett Howland at MPH Architects has won 2 RIBA awards including the special sustainability award for RIBA South 2019. The directors of MPH are Matthew Barnett Howland, UEL teaching alumni, Catherine Phillips, senior lecturer at UEL, and Dido Milne, who also contributed to the project, as well as Oliver Wilton at the Bartlett. The design for the house was born out of a research project into the structural use of cork granted by Innovate UK for the study of Full Building Lifecycle. The RIBA South head of the judges for the awards commented about the project: Designed with immense attention to detail, Cork House is a structure of great ingenuity. Sited within the area of a Grade II Listed mill house dating back to the early nineteenth century, the Cork House beautifully reflects and respects the natural surroundings in form and construction. The ‘whole-life approach’ to sustainability truly sets this project apart. Designed, tested and developed in partnership with The Bartlett School of Architecture UCL, MPH Architects have delivered a project that is the first of its kind. An entirely cork construction, with solid structural cork walls and roof, the building emits next to zero carbon. The biogenic construction of prefabricated cork blocks and engineered timber is carbon negative at completion and has remarkably low whole life carbon. All the components can be reused or recycled, and the expanded cork blocks have been made using by-product and waste from cork forestry and the cork stopper industry. Internally, the biophilic elements such as the exposed cork and oak flooring captures the light and creates a wonderfully tranquil sensory experience. In summer the skylights open to bring a sense of lightness to the space and in winter the snug interiors emanate a sense of warmth and protection. As sustainability becomes integral to all construction, this development pushes us further to look beyond the requirements and aspire to really integrate ourselves with nature. The inventiveness lies within the structure’s ease of assembly. The whole house is ‘designed for disassembly’ and can be constructed by hand. An

incredible feat by the architects to achieve such a delicately intriguing home that sits humbly amongst its surroundings, is sustainably sound and can be easily assembled. As the first of its type, it is truly exciting to think what this project could inspire within the architectural world. MPH Architects and the collaborative team, which includes not only The Bartlett School of Architecture UCL but also The University of Bath, Amorim UK, Ty-Mawr the BRE and consultants Arup and BRE, have really done something special with this project. The detailing is very clever, and the structure draws upon ancient inspiration, harking back to a time when humans and nature were more intertwined. Form, function and footprint are all equally considered and respected. This is a truly well thought through, carefully researched project that has created a home that inspires those that are lucky enough to visit. A noble, momentous model to aspire to.

Highgate Bowl HASA Architects win the RIBA London award 2019

P34 RESEARCH AWARDS PROJECTS CONFERENCES

The architects have made some highly effective, very low cost small-scale interventions to transform a derelict horticultural glasshouse at Highgate Bowl near the top of Highgate Hill in North London, bringing this forgotten piece of the city back into public use as a community garden and versatile event space. These sensitive interventions take the form of new external and internal pathways, as well as rooms and furniture pieces that guide visitors through the large open bays of the restored but still fragile glass house that existed on the site. Roof glazing has been restored or replaced, some with frosted glass and the metal framing simply cleaned and repainted in dark grey.

‘If we create it, they will come’ said the client with a quiet confidence of someone who, after a number of disappointments and false starts on this magical site has realised that something very special is in the offing. Charlotte Harris, a founding director of the HASA Architects is a Senior Lecturer at the University of East London.

A very effective white oiled CNC cut birch plywood internal ‘skin’ has been used to create vertical and horizontal joinery components which reference the original structure’s frame and panel construction as they step down with each bay across the inclined site, providing a buffer zone to the facade and informing a horizontal datum at chest height, except for two large new plywood sliding doors which could form a canvas for graphics. Some are structural, others have a multiplicity of functions, some utilitarian, used to create tables and a central stage/performance area and some processional, for example ramps directing you through the space. The plywood forms a robust interface to protect the fragile structure from human use and create a visual contrast to the dark glasshouse framing. Simple vertical linear lighting is installed into recesses behind the plywood verticals which could interplay with their reflection in the glass. The use of one material throughout creates continuity, reinforcing the connection between each bay of the glasshouse while the new plywood subtly contrasts with both the old glasshouse and the highly visible landscape. The brief for the project has been created organically with both the client and the architect ‘feeling their way into it’. Sensitivity and lightness of touch is evident throughout much of the architectural installation – much has been achieved with relatively small means. Photographs © Simone Bossi

Black Barn by Bark Studio receives RIBA East Award 2019

P36 RESEARCH AWARDS PROJECTS CONFERENCES

Studio Bark received the RIBA East Award for the ‘Black Barn’ project; a rigorously environmental ‘paragraph 79’ family home inspired by the vernacular architecture of rural Suffolk. It reads as a floating sculptural form surrounded by wild grass meadow. The striking form evolved from environmental considerations including solar heat gain, shading and passive ventilation, establishing a dialogue with the seasonal and diurnal rhythms of the site. The design is a modern yet sensitive interpretation of the black agricultural barn – a typology that has scattered the East Anglian countryside for centuries, and references the site’s historic context as a poultry farm. Shou Sugi Ban timber cladding to the exterior and exposed structural timbers within, reference this vernacular language through a contemporary reimagining. ‘Approaching this building from a tree lined country road reveals a very modest face to what turns out to be a house full of intrigue and hidden depth. A black clad single storey building on first view, with a small entrance that leads into a well-designed, but compact hall, it reveals some of its secrets at the entry by a long view, straight down the inside of the building, into a large expanding space and beyond into the East Anglian landscape. A simple rectangular plan, with mostly cellular accommodation in the low, back portion of the main floor and similar cellular accommodation on the floor below, all of the complexity and trickery is contained in the treatment of the roof where it is exposed above the house’s main, wonderfully large space. It is placed at the opposite end to the entrance. Contained by a fully glazed end wall, with a large balcony space beyond, one is able to look over the enclosing field from what has become a first floor vantage point, achieved because the land falls away beneath the length of the building. Back behind the glass wall the main space of the house contains a kitchen, dining, living and enclosed children’s play space, and a stair that leads down to the level below, then out into the landscape. It is this large, multi-use space that is the heart of the house and contains the geometric trickery of a series of progressively flattening scissor trusses. In combination they give

a pleasing advancing geometry, like when plotting a paraboloid, which also gives the impression of movement, yet in a still space. Once downstairs the architects have fully exploited the feeling of being in the ground, which contrasts nicely with the feeling of floating above the ground that one has on the floor above. Eye level downstairs is only just above ground level, and your eye skims across the meadow in winter looking out of the windows. In summer you will be delightfully invisible once the summer grasses have reached full height.’ (RIBA awards, www.architecture.com)

Studio Bark Box House CNC-Cut ‘Box House’ is a blueprint for future assisted self-build housing

P38 RESEARCH AWARDS PROJECTS CONFERENCES

The Box House is one of 10 pioneering self-built houses, built at Graven Hill in Bicester: a development which will eventually comprise 1900 Custom and Self Build (CSB) homes. The Graven Hill development I of national significance, a ‘vanguard’ project helping to meet the government’s commitment to doubling the number of CSB homes by 2020. Box House featured on the new Grand Designs spin-off (known as Grand Designs: The Street) in April 2019. CSB housing is a spectrum, from true ‘Selfbuild’, where the client physically builds the house themselves, to ‘custom build’, where the client has design input to an externally procured construction. The young clients for this site were stuck in the middle. They did not have the budget to pay for an external contractor, nor the specialist skills to lead the build process themselves.

As a direct response to this brief, Studio Bark developed an innovative system of flat-pack timber building boxes, known as U-Build. The box modules were simple enough to be built by the client, but complex enough to perform many requirements of the building envelope, and meet the stringent tests of the structural warranty provider. The flatpack U-Build system is modular, flexible and can be ‘nested’ onto standard sheets of plywood, resulting in minimal wastage. The two bedroom, 95 sqm house took around 100 cutting hours in total. The project was constructed solely using manual handling techniques by the client with the assistance of Studio Bark and a small team of architecture students.

Renée Tobe was appointed Honorary Professor for her contribution to ARTPolis at Kazan State University of Architecture and Engineering, Russia, November 2018 where she participated in a conservation project that digitally surveyed an 18th century theatre building before designing proposals for renovation of this heritage building based on conceptual themes and spoke on UK Regulations for Urban Planning. A Post Card Tour of Rome, a Fellows Lunch talk at the Paul Mellon Centre looked at a particular film, Peter Greenaway’s The Belly of an Architect, (1987) and a particular place, Rome, in which the film is set. The narrative is presented as a series of vedute, the travellers’ views, maps and postcards of monuments of Rome, using the Greenaway film as a premise to explore the urb. The filmmaker originally intended to trace a route through the city, structured like a Situationist dérive, by using tourist postcards, each of which connected a monument in the foreground with another in the distance.

A Post Card Tour of Rome

Renée delivered a keynote talk, Who Owns the City: The Constantly Evolving Mediated Surface at the Architecture and Landscape Study Day, British Film Institute, London, UK, February 2019. When the city in question is London in the Swinging Sixties, Michelangelo Antonioni, director of Blow-up (1967) felt it is owned by the photographer making the news by documenting it. In film, cities tell us where we are, and where we are going. Cities are our living rooms, we occupy them, and buildings, however substantial, provide silhouettes; backdrops against which our lives unfold.

OPEN STUDIO EVENT

Our unique opportunity for visitors, fellow staff and students to see work in progress and share the diversity of architecture at UEL

The Open Studio Event was again a unique opportunity to see work in progress and to share the diversity of architecture at UEL. The event was organised in such a way that each Unit or Group presented their ongoing work to an invited panel of guests in their own studio space. As such, it was both, a ‘mid-term exhibition’ with work in progress and a vital platform for discussion about academic work in architecture. Furthermore, invited guest lecturers gave a lunchtime and evening lecture. Dr. Andrew Higgott talked about Recreating the House – Modernism’s Great Invention Andrew Higgott is an architectural historian and teacher, who co-ordinated the teaching of the history and theory of architecture at UEL from 1995 to 2011. His most recent book is Key Modern Architects: 50 Short Histories published in 2018. Further books are Mediating Modernism and Camera Constructs. Andrew talked about the Modern house. The revolutionary architectural movement of Modernism is the water we still swim in, and perhaps its outstanding achievement was to transform the idea of the house, of how people could live in a new and better way. Many of its architects invented completely original forms of domestic space: a new relationship to nature and to life itself could be achieved by discarding tradition in favour of expressing an authentic response to human needs and desires. The lecture analysed and compared houses by Schindler, Mies, Rietveld, Le Corbusier, Eames, Bo Bardi, and others, to understand their unique and relevant achievements in re-making the house. Chris Williamson of Weston Williamson talked about Creating Civilised Cities Chris Williamson is co-founder and partner of Weston Williamson. Their design work is all about the people who use it; how they will inhabit and experience the

buildings, places and artefacts. The practice takes a whole life approach, considering how designs will adapt, retain their relevance and continue to be enjoyed for years to come. Chris is a registered architect with over 35 years’ experience in practice and 30 years in infrastructure, which includes the design and masterplanning of stations, high speed rail, complex interchanges, underground, overground and light rail stations. Clients include High Speed 2, Crossrail, London Underground, Network Rail, Docklands Light Railway, London Overground, Transport for London, Dubai Transport Authority and the Malaysian Transport Authority. Chris leads the studio’s Transport Oriented Development (TOD) initiative proposing city growth around high speed rail. He has spoken at conference and events promoting TOD and sustainable city development linked to rail both in the UK and abroad. In addition, Chris plays an active role in various professional organisations. He is a registered Project Manager and a member of the Royal Town Planning Institute and the Institute of Collaborative Working. A council member for the RIBA, he is their current Vice President for International Affairs, helping to promote the association as a global membership organisation. Chris talked about a series of recent innovative projects that reflect the diversity of Weston Williamson. The work is grounded in current urban dynamics and future speculations.

Foundation in Architecture and Design is a gateway to the culture of design. The course aims to provide a broad range of experiences in the culture of spatial design. “Thinking through making” is at the core of this course, which is a tradition of the architecture school at UEL. We aspire to make the foundation studio into a creative laboratory where students will explore, discuss and cultivate individual creativity and critical thinking through studentship. Our aim is to stimulate students to find joy and enthusiasm in making and designing through the framework supported by experienced and enthusiastic tutors. Each module in the foundation program is set to provide briefs to enable students to discover their talents, and develop them further to be ready for their challenge as a first year student in a specific field of design. 2018 – 2019 We started the year by building up a series of skills and experiences through drawing and making from a scale of a pencil to a body, and exploring the relationship between a body and space at the end of first semester. The workshop with a choreographer stimulated the fresh discovery of the movement of a body, and provided students with further insight into the spatial relationship between a body, movement and space. The workshop allowed students to document and experiment in fullscale drawings and paintings. Students have further investigated these issues through a series of spatial investigations in full-scale physical models.

Trip, Oxford. UK

Design Project The final design project was set in UEL dockland campus. Students observed something they had not seen nor experienced from this very familiar place, and explored a series of spatial narratives and possible scenarios. As a conclusion, they were asked to design an intervention as a response to the current condition and their personal observations in the UEL campus, that will make contributions to the university campus as a public place. The proposed intervention could be either temporary or permanent. On the course of the design process, students developed and tested through collages, and through series of different scale models and drawings. Field trip The trip to Oxford, UK was intended to provide a brief yet rich introduction to the art and architecture. Students spent four days absorbing the culture of art and architecture ranging from the medieval to the contemporary.

around them, to consider occupiers and users, buildings and spaces with an approach that is both critical and poetic. The supporting strands of History and Theory, Technical and Professional Studies, Computing and Representation, inform and enrich an integrated design approach. Students test and apply learned knowledge, practical skills and critical enquiry to a personal architectural proposition; this forms the basis of the architectural education. The technical teaching instils an appreciation of site and context, the art of construction, economy of structure and the nature and complexity of materials, using knowledgebased lectures and analysis of precedent as a route to integrate this understanding in the unit-based design proposals. Our hands-on approach to a poetic materiality is characterised by exploratory modelmaking in all years and 1:1 construction particularly in Years 1 and 4. The aim of the MArch programme, in Years 4 & 5, is to stimulate students to become critical agents in the social production of space. Enriched by practical experience after their degree, postgraduate students expand their technical, professional and theoretical knowledge. Their competence creatively converges in a design-process that challenges the boundaries of architecture in its social, economical and political context. Within this process students transform complexity into elegance, animate aesthetics and organise space for social use. Preparation for professional practice integrates essential technical, philosophical, regulatory and practical knowledge as baseline skills that enable the final thesis at BSc and MArch to critically extend beyond the RIBA requirements. Decision making and technical innovation develop from and relate to wider socio-political contexts, grounding the design work and the critical task of detailing to make tangible connections to wider architectural ideas. The professional Architecture programmes at UEL produce directed, responsible and socially aware graduates that understand architecture as a beautiful, radical tool to make ‘place’ and engage with the complexities of social and environmental interaction.

P67

Through the professionally accredited Part 1 and Part 2 programmes, our students develop a rigorous and strategic understanding of context encompassing social and environmental, physical and non-physical concerns, enabling them to make engaged and critical architectural proposals. Our teaching is centred on the interface of social and spatial structures, on people and place. Our location in East London gives unique opportunities to understand, critique and reimagine how regeneration and redevelopment impact upon existing places and communities, bringing case studies from across Europe and beyond back into a critical reflection on London and its future. At the core of this education are our design units in Years 2 & 3 and 4 & 5, each of which provides students with a particular thematic and methodological approach to design, and as a whole contain a diversity that stimulates critical awareness. The design units operate as autonomous research teams and consist of two tutors and between 16 to 20 students. Supporting the design units is a framework of teaching in essential technical, theoretical, regulatory and practical knowledge that enables a fully integrated design process. Students must construct with both materials and ideas, and in final year BSc and MArch are expected to develop their design proposals as a personal thesis. In Year 1 the teaching is centred on a sequence of design projects that work through from the scale of the body to the scale of the city. The year aims to provide a broad platform for exploring creativity and introduces a set of skills and standards that range from surveying and technical drawing, to sketching and model making. Embedded within the schedule of projects are lectures, seminars and practical workshops that provide an introduction to the social concerns of architecture, knowledge of historical context, and understanding material properties and capabilities. The year is structured to guide every student along these first steps on the path to becoming an architect, building confidence and developing a strong sense of purpose and direction. In Years 2 & 3 the design units lead an iterative design process that is driven by creativity, imagination and critical self-reflection. The course is designed to educate students to think seriously about the world

FIRST YEAR Playful Thresholds

Kristina Hertel, Michele Roelofsma, Reem Charif, Alan Chandler, Charlotte Harris, Toshiya Kogawa, Renee Tobe, Janet Insull

Playing with buildings This year, First Year Architecture was invited to collaborate with the V&A Museum of Childhood on a live project, which was focused on the theme ‘playful learning’. Students designed and constructed a series of 1:1 prototypes that form the exhibition “Playing with Buildings” that opened at the Museum in February this year. This exhibition will run in the front room gallery of the Museum in Bethnal Green until March 2020. Spaces for Playful Learning continued in term 2 as the overall theme for this year’s studies, with Bethnal Green the site for the main design project.

to schools and educational spaces in both cities. In Amsterdam, Year 1 visited Hermann Hertzberger’s Apollo School, an outstanding example of a design that employs the concept of inhabited thresholds.

An exploration of playful thresholds The project started with a series of spatial explorations of thresholds; between bodies, between bodies and space. This extended into investigating the public galleries of the museum through a workshop with a performance artist, in which students tested threshold conditions with their own bodies. These physical sketches defined sites for intervention and inspired the designs for new threshold spaces for the museum that students subsequently constructed as prototypes at scale 1:1.

Extended space for playful learning Inspired by the 1:1 prototypes, the ambition of term 2’s design project was to erode existing boundaries and the public conception and experience of the museum as an institution for learning. Students worked on one of three sites with differing proximity to the Museum of Childhood, designing a space for playful learning that mediates spatially and programmatically between the museum, and the local and wider community.

‘Schools are like cities’ (H. Hertzberger) Conversations and studies around the theme of thresholds and learning spaces were expanded in the field trips to London and Amsterdam, with visits

LONDON & WUPPERTAL, GERMANY

Client study After completing the installation of the exhibition at the V&A in early February, students facilitated 3 workshops with local primary schools, held at the museum, with the school pupils scrutinising, testing and expanding the students’ design ideas. This was an opportunity for them to directly engage with, and observe, their client for their forthcoming main design project.

UNIT A

PLACE OF EXCHANGE CARSTEN JUNGFER, FERNANDA PALMIERI

Henri Lefebvre understands the formation of space as the outcome of collective action and therefore as “social product” itself. Unit A is interested in processes that relate to the production of space by investigating found conditions and urban morphology. Our agenda engages across the domains of architecture and urbanism and embraces a design approach that is critically responding to pre-existing contexts by interrogating spatial, historic and social fabric of the city. Following last years focus on Dalston’s cultural quarter surrounding Ashwin Street, we initiated a collaborative partnership with the Local Borough of Hackney and carried out a funded research project together with five unit A alumni over the summer. ‘Relational States of Dalston’ investigates socio-spatial conditions between local stakeholders within its urban context. Findings from the research lead to this years subject of interest: Ridley Road Market While Dalston town centre has transformed considerably over recent years, the study area Ridley Road Market has retained original patterns of use and respective character. The market itself is a community asset, both in cultural and social terms that provides civic and inclusive space within the town centre. As street-market it has always been a place of conflicting needs and desires, though new kinds of pressure seem to emerge as a result of ongoing change that contribute to an increasing vulnerability.

DALSTON, LONDON & GHENT, KORTRIK

During the first term students analysed chosen everyday moments of exchange across the streetmarket, which helped them to build an understanding of relationships between space and activities. Students interacted with a wide range of stakeholders and from here developed individual responses in form of critical briefs and building programmes. The proposed strategies agree to support the existing market by introducing complementary programmes, such as educational and cultural uses. As a collective, students speculate that extended territories for formal and informal encounters, new civic infrastructure, shared and adaptable spaces, are required to help Ridley Road Market to maintain its critical role as a place of exchange. At the same time those will provide opportunity for the market to evolve from within to ensure a sustainable future serving East London heterogenous demographic.

UNIT B

Penzance / Pennsans Stephen Baty, Alex Scott-Whitby

As a new studio we looked at the historic harbour of Penzance and its connections by rail, sea and road. We observed and recorded in detail to understand this historic place. A place where the land ends and the sea begins. A place derived from the Cornish language word ‘Pennsans’ meaning ‘a holy headland’. We undertook three projects over the course of the academic year, each related to the other. The first was set in Greenwich at Indigo Jones Queens House and was used to prepare the students for the year ahead. We learnt to look closely, discuss ideas, acquire skills, gain confidence, research precedents, and formulate a design thesis. With sponsorship from Great Western Railways we then travelled by sleeper train to Penzance travelling overnight and arriving into Isambard Kingdom Brunel station terminus. For the second project we explored Penzance and headland with purpose. We walked from the north coast to south coast in the rain, wind and sun. We recorded site, clarified the brief, initiated a response and researched relevant precedents to inform architectural proposals to reinvigorate the town. The third project was concerned with creating an architectural proposal in Penzance and was progressed through three iterations; concept, development and technical. At each iteration the proposal was reviewed and refined by the studio and invited critics. The process placed an emphasis on model making, drawing to create a contextual architectural response.

The ambition was for each student to learn to look closely, translate ideas, develop interests and gain a set of skills relevant for practice. The student projects that have emerged are testament to this.

UNIT E

Abandoned Urban Landscape Isaac Cobo i Displàs Sakiko Kohashi

Unit E this year will be based in Barcelona, where we will try to resolve a challenging urban, social and architectural, problem. Barcelona’s aim is to become one of the referenced European cities implied as a change of urbanism strategy. Historically, Barcelona as a city turned her back to the sea, leaving the seafront for the import/export industry only. In the late 20th century that changed, and the focus was on working on a new skyline and opening the city to the seafront leading to a rapid growth in construction which resulted in some areas being left unattended and forgotten. In the present day, the clash between the traditional working class areas versus the high end architecture, focused on tourism, is very obvious and needs a prompt architectural response. Unit E’s goal is providing a social response to this area, for the local communities. Our work will be based on one of the most controversial junctions of the city, where Barcelona has lost its identity. We will study the ‘Pla Cerda’, one of the referenced urbanism plans renowned worldwide for its functionality and efficiency. The chosen site is at the edge of it. We will analyse and compare similar a situation in Kings Cross, London, where existing factories have changed and the area has been renovated to give response to people’s needs. We will produce a comparative analysis so that both cities can learn one from eachother. This year we are exploring this through the contrast of different architects of the past and present. Some of our references will be: RCR architects, based near

EL POBLENOU, BARCELONA

Barcelona Olot (Last year’s Stirling Prize winner), Barozzis and Beiga, Cerda, Gaudi, Enric Miralles, Ricardo Bofill and Carme Pinos, all based in Barcelona. We will look at their work and their different design and representation techniques. Unit E works at the intersection between old and new in terms of architecture and in terms of representational techniques. We therefore designed through the qualities of various traditional model making and drawing materials (clay, timber, metal, etching, sketching and analogue photography...) whilst analysing these qualities of existing materials and environments. We will also explore new building designs through contemporary materials; and contemporary computer techniques positioned in contrast and interfaced with the old. In the same process, students design new architecture that connects old buildings, within a hypothetical program that integrates past, present and future through materiality. Unit E does this on the basis of speculative proposals on sites that contain existing historic fragments or memories. In the first term we will educate the eye by exploring fragments of London with analogue cameras, learning the techniques of a dark room and different drawing techniques both in 2D and 3D, controlling the scale and the proportions. The students have each been given a site to study. The complexity of the site will depend on level 2 or 3. A different brief will be given for each site. This year UEL focuses its attention on housing. Our case study will be ‘Walden 7’ by Ricardo Bofill.

UNIT G

Productive City, Wild City Hwei Fan Liang, Christian Groothuizen

This year Unit G explored ways of evolving a productive city – in which we engage with the processes of food, energy and resource production. We looked for imaginative architectural propositions that could contribute to a viable, sustainable urban future. We also questioned how this more productive city could be more ‘wild’, challenging our relationship with urban nature as well as offering space for play and informal occupation. London is a city of consumption, relying on frictionless flows of imports from the rest of the country and far beyond. Its population density makes true selfsufficiency a remote possibility, but as the social and ecological costs of our current culture of consumption, supply and waste increase, we propose that localised, distributed production is a crucial part of a viable, sustainable urban future. Our location for the exploration of these proposals is an area close to Old Street where the City of London meets the Borough of Islington. It has a richly layered history of uses, most notably a dense fabric of mixed industries in the 18th Century which included distilleries and breweries, timber yards and furniture works.

LONDON, GRANADA AND ALMUÑECAR

The present-day context includes creative and tech industries, restaurants and cafes, Whitecross Street market, schools, community and leisure facilities. The proposal sites are on either side of Golden Lane, within and adjacent to post-war housing blocks – the Golden Lane Estate, and the Peabody Whitecross Street estate. Students developed individual projects that respond to present day social needs and readings of the city, set against future scenarios and possibilities – each weighted towards a personal position on integrating production into the city, providing habitats for humans and other species, or giving value to the role of the wild in urban living.

City Land Process Keita Tajima, Rhianon Morgan-Hatch

The territory of Alentejo, a region in the south of Portugal, has formed the focus of our investigation for the year. Its land expresses both the past memories and the present activities on its surface; deep holes of marble quarries, dotted lines of olive trees, half exposed cork trees, acres of vine productions and in between, cattle and pigs, portraying the relationship between people and natural systems. We are interested in how materials of the land can be re-thought and formed to express a specific spatial sensibility and experience, enriching our architectural approach to the city and design of spaces whilst revealing the intricacies of a place. The cities and towns of Alentejo, and their inhabitants, have a cultural identity formed by an embedded relationship with their surroundings. The knowledge of their land and its resources is a product of their interconnected rural, agricultural and industrial heritage. However, with rural populations decreasing due to migration towards the Portuguese cities, we have examined the potential space that is left behind, using this void as a catalyst for future speculation. Our re-imagining of this territory comes at a particularly poignant time in Portuguese history, where its inhabitants have the potential to shape its future safeguarding the genuine, vital energies of the region.

Students have worked with the one of three sites with differing conditions and resources (city extension, urban room, city void). Through investigation into the networks of resources in the region; earth, lime, cork, ceramics, wheat, stone (marble, granite), olive oil, cheese and wine, they have uncovered the makers, processes and associated architectural and urban/rural qualities that have assisted with a wider understanding of the cultural make-up of the region. Students have investigated and proposed models of educational/cultural spaces and infrastructures that act as a medium to enrich the relationship between the city, its inhabitants and the landscape.

UNIT 2

City of People Christoph Hadrys, Uwe Schmidt-Hess with Tony Fretton

MArch Unit 2 addresses urban and architectural conditions in locations undergoing critical change and over the years, has worked in North Africa, Scandinavia, East London and other places in Europe. Through a combination of research and creative practice, we propose interventions, which respond to urban challenges and introduce elements of cultural and imaginative vigour. The Unit explores extremes of interrelated scales, from urban geographies through to building and detail qualities. In this process, strategies formulate responsiveness to global contexts, site conditions, understanding of scales, architectural sensibilities, as well as structural and material realities. We aim to create social, spatial and time-based habitats and environments. This academic year our design investigations and projects focused on deprived neighbourhoods in Shoreditch in East London. Within this location Unit 2 explored the guiding theme City of People.

Large scale social and commercial developments have delivered rather simplistic forms of social inclusion, urban life and diversity, because they have not sufficiently integrated people into city making. We searched for alternatives to the current state of play and experimented with forms of urban inhabitation that are co-designed, built and managed by people. Each student chose a strategic location for a responsive and imaginative proposal. We explored ways in which sharing and living together can be part of a synergetic urban life.

“Cityspace... our performance as spatial beings takes place at many different scales, from the body, or what the poet Adrienne Rich once called ‘the geography closest in‘, to a whole series of more distant geographies ranging from rooms and buildings, homes and neighbourhoods, to cities and regions, states and nations, and ultimately the whole earth - the human geography furthest out . “ Edward Soja, 2000

The Happy City Home. A threshold between the private and the collective. Carlo Cappai, Maria Alessandra Segantini

A successfully vital city development can be measured on its capacity to attract very diverse inhabitants to facilitate social cohesion, inclusiveness and collaboration. The verb ‘to inhabit’ comes from the Latin ‘habitare’, which relates to ‘habere’, to own. In this respect, there is an intrinsic meaning of ownership related to the topic of housing. The Unit investigates the Canada Water masterplan to test innovative hybrid typologies of housing and to

promote a strong relationship between the private and the collective space, through the design of livework affordable, intergenerational housing complexes for people to generate potential long-term affection to the place. Starting with the re-design of a housing prototype, we proceed analysing the structure of the Canada Water masterplan, to then develop a small part of it at the detail scale of its structure, layout and materiality.

UNIT 6 Just Do It

Isaie Bloch, Jakub Klaska

The Residential typology has become the most lucrative product to build by private developers due to a continuous increase in demand, in a city where land ownership is very centralised. In London itself where Unit6 will be operating this year, 200k buyers every year remain unsatisfied as they are unable to purchase a home due to a lack of quality and affordable residential properties. This trend has unfortunately created a very robust mass of buyers which are causing a dramatic housing price increase. As property prices are as well no longer in any conjunction with the actual value of the built structure; we Unit6, will aim to find more sustainable and alternative routes for the production of residential typologies. In order to do so we will promote and combine two rather continental European building concepts which have yet to find their way into the UK market. Being Self-built & Co-Housing strategies. We will re-invest in the actual value of the built property by focussing on intelligent tectonics in direct relation with their fabrication logic. investigating a model for designer led construction. Through both digital and traditional construction methods we will engage with the construction logics and turn them into clear design drivers. We will aim to develop a more relevant model for co-housing in which designer and other inhabitants of the schemes, become both contractor as well as construction managers. This system would not only allow the architect to redeem his role as an entrepreneurial creative, but would simultaneously contribute to transfer of skills and knowledge in an age

LONDON, UNITED KINGDOM

where education becomes unaffordable. The territory for our investigations and deployments this year will be across London. Where we selected a number of neglected sites which have not been touched by corporate real estate development. Through an in depth engagement with digital form finding, appropriate fabrication methods and innovative organisational logics we will aim to deliver spatially ambitious well-crafted propositions which will elevate the standard of living in this metropolis. Piece by Piece! We will sequence the design process through a number of defined milestones as to gradually build up the complexity of the proposals. Supported by our own research and skill sets as well as those of invited guest lecturers, we will be particularly focussing on tectonic qualities and performative objectives in direct relationship with communal living scenarios.

Benidorm, a question of belonging Armor Gutierrez Rivas, Rosa Rogina

Unit 8 perceives architecture as a social and political practice, and therefore promotes mobilisation of architectural thinking and making as a tool to engage with current matters of concern, both local and global. It explores how can architectural design process be expanded beyond its conventional role and be utilised as a tool for a wider social, economical and cultural change. The unit looks more closely into territories of spatial and/or social tension and attempts to unpack and address these complex contemporary conditions. By balancing in between identified real-world context and radical imagination, the students are encouraged to use the identified tension as a main driver for their design proposal. With a focus on Benidorm, Spain, this year we are investigating the inherent relationship in between housing crisis and mass tourism. By looking into the specific case of of Benidorm, the unit seeks for a new housing typology that bridges the gap in between the local and the holidaymaker. Benidorm, a city that was only a hundred years ago a fisherman’s village of 3000 people, is today better known as the Mediterranean New York with more skyscrapers per squared meters than any other city in Europe. The redevelopment of Benidorm was considered to be a successful urban scheme that due to its high density and all-inclusive offers affordable to everyone is able to accommodate over 12 million tourists every year.

BENIDORM, SPAIN

However, for the local people the proliferation of allinclusive mass tourism here has been the subject of much debate over the years. Today, the city sees little interaction between modern holidaymaking and local people or culture, with the architectural typology of allinclusive gated hotels and apartments foregrounding this social, spatial and economical division. While building on Ricardo Bofill’s The City in the Space utopian studies for an adaptable, multifunctional and flexible community, students in Unit 8 are asked to design flexible housing schemes that allow owners to adapt their houses to seasonal tourism and act as a shared platform facilitating a greater cross-cultural interaction when needed.

“British tourist moans her Benidorm holiday was ruined by ‘too many Spanish people’ Freda Jackson, 81, said she cried at the end of her two-week trip to the popular holiday destination through travel operator Thomas Cook in May this year” Mirror UK, 13 Aug 2018

With its consistent mild weather and south-facing beaches, once discovered for its vacation qualities and spatial potential to expand, the city quickly evolved into a long narrow stretch of over 100 hotels with a capacity to accommodate more than 5 million tourists every year.

Collectively the let rooms, from different apartments over several sites are to form a hotel run by the local residents themselves.

permanent basis, to earn extra money by renting out part of their homes. However, following the arrival of large hotels stretching along the coastline with a lower cost to offer, including a now famous all-inclusive package, the city saw a major decline in the popularity for permanent residents to let a segment of their properties.

expected facilities, however spread across the several sites and additional locations in and around the old town. As a result, tourists staying in the subdivided units will be required to travel to the nearby amenities spread across this area encouraging interaction with local trade and the city itself. I wish to discover which of the required facilities the old town already has to offer, mostly targeting struggling businesses due to decline of tourists venturing out of their hotels. I aim to establish a relationship with them and define a contract, including them into a network of necessities the hotel will require to function as an all-inclusive hotel.

Nowadays, ‘lazy Brits’ tend to be content with their allinclusive packages in gated high rise hotels, very rarely venturing out of the grounds unless heading to the city centre for clubbing and cheap booze or down to the beach to top up their tans. These actions have greatly affected local businesses and commercial activity outside of the hotels, forcing them to lower their offers to tempt tourists to spend money in their establishments. At the same time, with tourism being the dominant industry in Benidorm and large hotels now reaching maximum capacity in peak seasons, there is a high increase in the number of external investors purchasing properties and renting them through Airbnb, which is being greatly opposed by local residents. The project attempts to give back the control and ownership of the holiday rental in Benidorm to local residents through a flexible residential scheme amongst several vacant sites in the Old Town, with a potential for further expansion across other available plots in future years. Apart from offering additional homes to local people, together with its surrounding local businesses that wish to join the scheme, the proposal acts as an alternative ‘all-inclusive hotel’ scattered across the city. The project mirrors traditional methods for gaining extra income through temporary subdivisions of the residential units with intention to let. With the seasonality of Benidorm reaching peak tourism during the summer, the projects flexibility permits owners to comfortably let out a segment

Unit 10 focuses on the intersection of the lived and the built space, which is approached simultaneously at small and large scales: the scale of human interaction and the scale of political decision making. It draws on different disciplines in its engagement with the real life factors that shape our environment. Starting with our personal experience of housing, followed by a detailed look at Dawsons Heights by Kate Macintosh, students developed individual briefs for communal housing on one of the last remaining sites of the Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park, in dialogue with the public sector client of a concurrent competition for the site. Students engaged with a range of stakeholders in the process to gain insights into the spatial and social fabric of the site, and explored different housing delivery models and how these are driven by different ideas of what London should be — the idea of housing as a home and city as a mixed place, vs. housing as investment and city as market. We investigated the financial forces feeding the London Housing Crisis, and looked at interventionist pieces of policy such as the London Living Rent that try to counter it.

London & Ivry-Sur-Seine, Paris

As the concept of home ownership is now beyond the reach of most young Londoners, many students focused on designing for rental accommodation and its inherent challenge of designing economically whilst allowing for personal adaptation and community building, allowing for non-traditional habitation forms such as flat shares and patchwork families.

fairly new, the help to buy government shceme is to aid homebuyers who financially cannot afford the asking prices for a deposit. This can be a new or an older property. The loan provides up to 20% of the cost of a new build property. The loan can be repaid in anytime within 25 years.

subject to rent controls that require less than 80% of the market rent including service charges, local market rents vary from place to place and these are measured by the amount of local housing allowance administered in a particular area. SHARED OWNERSHIP: typically an occupier could or will buy/mortgage a share of the new build property from a housing association. The remaining share will be owned by the association meaning the occupier will pay rent on this share, the same would apply with other landlords. An occupier can buy up to a 75% share in a property.

It would offer areas to sit and relax as well as undertake community activities such as exercise classes, gardening, educational trips for students. The nature loop extends on the roof of the building, additionally offering views of the juxtaposition between the urban fabric of London and the natural Olympic Park. Lastly the facade would be utilised as growing space for all residents. They would be managed and maintained by the residents under the guidance of the community centre.

BSc (Hons) Architectural Design Technology LEVELS 1, 2 & 3 ADT

Dr Heba Elsharkawy, Programme Leader

P177

BSc (Hons) Architectural Design Technology (ADT) programme has gone through some exciting developments this year. We have been very keen on developing the subject specific knowledge and employability skills to support our students who aspire for a rewarding career in this field. The students have had an all round experience from working on their design projects in studio, to field trips to major developments under construction in London, to visits to renown architectural practices such as SOM, Bond Bryan, and Cullinan Studio. This year, we also organised a study trip to Paris. The trip was an eyeopening experience to the students as it facilitated visits to many significant projects. Heba Elsharkawy (BSc, MSc, PhD, FHEA, MCIAT)

Dr. Heba Elsharkawy, Alfonso Senatore, Dr. Haitham Farouk, Michele Roelofsma, Dr. Michael Adaji

In Year 1 ADT, we worked on a Professional’s Retreat design project following an architectural design foundation phase where we designed a personal space for an architect to live and work in, on a site at UEL campus overlooking the Royal Docks. The project aimed to develop our technical understanding of a small residential structure, building materials, construction processes, sustainbility and technical details. We also went on a fiield trip to Paris to observe and understand the design and construction technology of different building typologies such as Grande Arche, Fondation Louis Vuitton, Centre Pompidou, and teh Louvre Museum. In Year 2 and 3 ADT, we worked closely with Newham Council as a client, on a live project; an affordable housing development consisting of a convenience store and 24 two-bedroom and three-bedroom flats. We undertook site surveys, case study research, climate and site analysis and capacity studies to understand how the design could provide the facilities needed within the design brief. Within our technical design proposals, we tackled key strategic questions; what could be the most effective building form and fabric for the chosen site (environmentally and economically)? What are the priorities for building users’ health, comfort and wellbeing? How can the design comply with the Building Regulations?

London - Paris

We also enjoyed learning Revit software, Design Builder and Lumion. We used monitoring equipment namely; the thermal imaging camera, luxmeters and data loggers in our final year research projects. Both, the design and research projects helped us become more competent with design development processes including the analysis and interpretation of the project site and developing project-specific research methodologies. We had two great events to help us learn more about the Chartered Institute of Architectural Technologists (CIAT) and our profession. The first event was a CIATRIBA joint event organised to get us and students studying architecture to learn more about future careers in both disciplines. Seven RIBA and CIAT professionals talked to us about their personal learning journey and work experience starting from architectural assistant position to directors. The second event was a Professional Insight event organised by the CIAT where we met with the CAT memberships director, Vice President Technical, and MCIAT professionals. We also visited Bond Bryan, SOM, and Cullinan Studio this year. We had the opportunity to meet lead architects at those renown practices and observe their exciting studios where we learned about several of their major design projects.

BA (Hons) Interior Design Dr Keith Winter Programme Leader

This year was a new start for a new BA (hons) Interior Design team. From the outset we were challenged to establish a strong identity in Year 1, 2 + 3 through process-led projects. Punctuated throughout the year with 3-week ‘Blast Briefs’ and 10-12 week ‘Main Briefs’, the goal was to grow a confident set of artistic designers, bold in their use of graphic representation. Blast Briefs were about generating fast content without procrastination through a catalyst of literary references, such as ‘Exercises in Style’ by Raymond Queneau (1947), ‘Library of Babel’ by Jose Luis Borges (1962) and ‘Species of Spaces’ by Georges Perec (1972). Main Briefs immediately followed these and looked at developing typical interior design projects through techniques of spatial analysis, collage, model-making, photo-transfers, drawings and artistic impressions. Some project locations were on campus, while in Year 02 + 03 they reached West London, Cheltenham and as far as Penzance. In late November we had the opportunity to visit the 16th Architecture Exhibition at the Venice Biennale. This was a key moment for our entire BA student cohort to get close to innovative designs, notably experienced through 1:1 installations and stunning models of various scales. In February we held an event in the AVA Atrium called ‘Hyper Now or Slow Release’ that saw the launch of our Year 03 ‘Live Projects’, inviting four design offices to become the mentors for our student groups. FNFC Architects, LOM Architecture + Design, Edge Design Workshop and ScottWhitby Studio formed our talented industry professionals who presented their work and supplied a current live brief for the students to plug into. Students were tasked not only with satisfying a UEL submission requirement, but also with sharpening their design and graphic skills in accordance with the offices, which produced a dynamic and high-energy flurry of productivity towards the end of the year. Projects included a Neo-Baroque Crypt, co-working containers, a community centre and a co-living site. In Term 02, Year 01 students developed ideas of their ‘Dream Bedroom’ through plan, section and axonometric, which eventually manifest into a 1:1 representation of a corner of their design. This exercise produced compelling installations and material applications. The construction of these large works gave our students confidence to use power tools in the workshops and learn how to build in the studio. The results culminated in lettuces mixed with pink plaster, gluegun tiles, dialectics of disgust vs satisfaction, fear of holes, feathers and petals and oil painted metals, AXO’s and ISO’s, floor-plans and psychos - we had it all in this brief. Year 02 had a unique take on ‘Co-Work’ in the fast-gentrifying area of London Fields in Hackney. In Arch 389 there are currently seven separate tenants selling vintage furniture and clothes. Year 02’s were tasked with re-ordering and mapping out proposals to bring coherence to a frantic and busy shop. One of the hardest things to learn as a designer is how to get ideas onto paper. By pitching various forms of oppositions against each other, such as public and private uses, beautiful and ugly, dark and light drives, our students were able to map out their first concepts into a diagrammatic graphic language. This allowed individuals to extract meaningful knowledge from themselves, opening up everything in their lives to be available for content. I believe this has led to a strong and visible identity in our current Interior Design cohort, one that we as a tutorial team are very proud of. Dr Keith Winter @id_ba_uel

BSc (Hons) Product Design Andrew Wright Programme Leader

P231 BSc Product Design

The Product Design Programme encourages students to explore, question and understand people and problems with the key objective of providing responsive solutions that will improve and better an indivdual’s or a group’s life and experience. Address social and enviromental questions and look at issues within context. Only by undertaking primary research, working with a chosen user group, are students really able to appreciate and understand problems faced by their users.

Product Design Innovation through Evaluation

Andrew Wright/Mathew Brown/Greg Bolland

The Product Design Programme encourages students to analyse and assess social and environmental landscapes to identify opportunities for improvement. By identifying issues, students undertake primary research to emphasise and identify with their key users, forging a direction for the development of their final designs. During their journey, students will explore ideas in 2 and 3 Dimensions in parallel to understand and fully represent their design concepts, becoming more refined on their iterative journey of exploration. Encouragement to understand and identify form and function, alongside technical material explorations, helps with the realisation of the final designs, pieces that can be manufactured and realised commercially. The construction of test rigs and jigs on a basic level enables in-depth analysis and evaluation directly with the user, presenting solutions influenced by the client or user’s direct input. By integrating the contextual and marketing elements of the programme to support the design projects, a richer more conclusive outcome is achieved through a body of work that theorises and then directly questions the issues identified central to the user.

People with OCD and Anxiety commonly use ‘Fidget Devices’. These are often unfit for purpose and not overly effective as the intended user group is usually children. Pulse is an ergonomic handheld fidget device which has TENS Machine components to electrify two areas of the product. If switched off, it acts like a standard fidget device with moveable parts and stimulating surfaces. Discretion is key in this project, therefore skin-colour tones was the preferred surface finish. p.d .1

With the increase of multigenerational households there is an increased importance keeping spaces as inclusive as possible while keeping them appealing to everyone in the household. This is evident in smaller homes where the kitchen space is becoming less accessible due to a lack in attractive inclusive design. MultiFlex is a dining table which can be used in kitchens of all sizes while also functioning as a lower work surface for seated food preparation. The mechanism of the table allows for the surface to be retracted into the drawer for compact storage. p.d .6

CIVIC ENGAGEMENT: Working with a local charity – Every One Every Day in Barking & Dagenham During term 2, Level 5 BSc (Hons) product design students worked in collaboration with a local community based charity in Barking & Dagenham called ‘Every One Every Day’. The students immersed themselves into a ‘design-a-thon’ event which was organised by the charity and offered local residents the opportunity to

work alongside UEL product design students to design and manufacture their own products. The final artefacts were then sold commercially through local community shops in the borough. The students worked closely with the residents and imparted their product design skills and knowledge which was a very rewarding experience for the students. Throughout the project, there was a strong emphasis towards digital design tools and processes for batch volume manufacture.

MRes Architecture

Reading the Neoliberal City Anna Minton Programme Leader

‘Adverts on hoardings all over London portray a city populated by smart-looking people in luxury balcony apartments. This is the destination of choice for foreign investors and the oligarchs, billionaires and superrich who make up the so-called ‘alpha elites’, who are attracted by the UK’s favourable tax environment. Entire neighbourhoods in the ‘alpha’ part of London… have changed out of all recognition...Estate agents refer to these centrally located ‘super prime’ areas as the ‘golden postcodes’. They have long been wealthy places, but in the past, like most of London, they were also mixed areas. Now multimillionaire Ultra High Net Worth Individuals have displaced even the wealthy from Kensington; they in turn displace others to suburban areas, creating a domino effect that ripples throughout the city…placing pressure on housing and prices around the country.’ Big Capital: Who is London for? (Penguin 2017)

Anna Minton, author of Big Capital: Who is London for? (Penguin 2017) and Ground Control: Fear and happiness in the 21st century city (Penguin 2009/12), is the Programme Leader on the MRes Architecture. This multi-disciplinary course, sited within the architecture department, welcomes applicants from a wide range of backgrounds. While situated in London’s Docklands, the global impact of these processes, which are relevant across the world, provides the context. The course is comprised of four modules: Reading the neoliberal city; Critical Writing and Professional Practice; Ethical Development and the Digital City. Topics for study include the housing crisis and the privatisation of cities, investigating the financialisation of the urban environment. The modules on Ethical Development and the Digital City investigate potential economic alternatives. The module on Critical Writing focuses on high level writing skills, through written assignments and the study of critical writing about the city, from Situationism to Psychogeography. The modules on Critical Writing and the Digital City are also offered to Diploma students choosing Critical Writing for their Theory component. Anna is joined on the academic team by Debra Shaw, Reader in Cultural Theory, who teaches on the Digital City module.

P245 MRes

Guest lecturers are a key component of the course and include politicians, leading industry figures and activists. This year speakers included James Murray, Deputy Mayor for Housing at the Greater London Authority and Daniel Moylan, former advisor to Boris Johnson when he was Mayor. The MRes provides a pathway to PhD study, with two former MRes students currently doing PhDs with us. Martyn Holmes, who is the holder of the UEL PhD

studentship, is investigating whether communityled housing might provide a solution to the housing crisis and Luke Okende is researching the impact of participatory processes to improve slum conditions in Kinshasa, Democratic Republic of Congo.

MA Architecture and Urbanism Fulvio Wirz Programme Leader

The MA in Architecture and Urbanism has been focusing on three main strands of research: Computational architecture, Urban Design and Heritage. The flagship Computational architecture builds upon UEL legacy of world-leading form generation through computational design explored through the work of the university’s late senior lecturer, Paul Coates. This involves using parametric and objectoriented design methodologies seamlessly with rapid manufacturing and visualization techniques available within the school. Topics like Advanced Architectural Design, Parametric Urban Design, Digital Manufacturing have been developed across the year following a common digital platform which simulates the state of the art of design processes in contemporary architectural practices. The goal was to experiment new possibilities for architectural spaces and cities connecting the design to advanced fabrication techniques and sustainable strategies in order to generate a research leading to a secure impact in the industry.

“Most architects think in drawings, or did think in drawings; today, they think on the computer monitor. I always tried to think three dimensionally. The interior eye of the brain should be not flat but three dimensional so that everything is an object in space. We are not living in a two-dimensional world.” Frei Otto

URBAN DESIGN Open Studio Christoph Hadrys

The Urban Design course is the design intensive masters for alternative urbanisms at the University of East London. It is set up to develop both intellectual and practical skills for urban designers and architects. Through interrelated design and theory projects, we search for alternative solutions to complex urban conditions. The course sets out to explore and develop new forms of urban practice in cities undergoing critical change, where conventional thinking struggles to respond to uncertainties and the necessity for imaginative thinking. It aims to prepare students to work with different geographical settings, urban agendas and economies through design projects. We engage directly with communities, sites and contexts, to be able to develop both practical and innovative urban designs, from the scale of regions and cities, all the way through to neighbourhoods and building scales. This approach is informed by local and international urban practice, but also emphasizes students‘ individual interests, abilities and intuition, to explore and develop new forms of urbanism. Asking questions, like who is building cities and how to build cities, allows us to open our understanding about finer visible and invisible forces. We research diverse methodologies, like the use of tolerances and time-lines, to enable more dynamic and generative urban processes, allowing a much wider range of people to take part in building cities.

The course provides a platform for the individual student to develop an expertise and an approach to sustainable urban design through the development of urban design strategies and research. As more and more emphasis is put on the importance of sustainable developments by governments and professional bodies, such knowledge and skills will be of increasing usefulness to the students in their professional lives. The programme prepares for work in the public as well as in the private sector. The masters course has two fully integrated parts: The design intensive studio and the theory component comprising Masters and Professional MArch (ARB/ RIBA Part 2) students. The Urban Design course welcomes students as fellow innovators in a programme that is both visionary and hands on in seeking to develop urban futures that are sustainable, distinctive and enjoyable.

“The neatness of architecture is its seduction; it defines, excludes, limits, separates from the “rest” - but it also consumes. It exploits and exhausts the potentials that can be generated finally only by urbanism, and that only the specific imagination of urbanism can invent and renew “ Rem Koolhaas , SMLXL

Urban Design Studio The design component aims to prepare students to work with different urban situations and agendas. In the beginning of each academic year, students engage in a five week induction project, to familiarise themselves with the teaching and learning environment of the course. During that time, we develop design tools and principles, by testing and refining them in various locations. For the main design project, individual students focus on one site of their choice, for the rest of the academic year. This focus allows very deep explorations of a range of scales and involved urban design issues. Students formulate objectives, briefs, programmes and spatial aspirations of their design work. Throughout the course, we engage in workshops, presentations and tutorials. Open Studio This academic year, students select the location and topic of their design, theory and research project themselves. The course offers a rich platform for students’ visions for cities. We formulated strategies that respond to global and site conditions, understanding of scales, architectural sensibilities and local communities, to create social, spatial and time-based habitats and environments.

Urban Theory Component The theory component welcomes Masters students and also 4th and 5th year MArch students. The course is ‘hands on‘ and it works in close collaboration with the design component. A lot of urban issues are difficult to explore purely on a visual basis. This has to do with the abstract level of scale and complexity. For example, we can do models of buildings and they will partly tell us spatial and social relationships. In urban design that is different. We can do models of a city, but it is not that easy to understand the underlying forces, that are shaping cities. Concerning issues like migration or globalization, physical models might tell us very little. We have to read, write and talk, to gain a more holistic understanding of urban issues. Students attend weekly lectures on distinct urban topics, followed by seminars. The fields of studies range from urban history, theory, interpretation and practice to science. We explore complexities of cities through discussions, writings, readings, lectures, drawings, student presentations, movies and excursions. The theory component is assessed through a 4000 - 5000 word essay on an urban topic that the students select and research themselves. The studies in urban theory are set up to help articulate a critical context and vision for students’ design and thesis work.

MA Interior Design Dr Anastasia Karandinou Programme Leader

Design of any scale responds to – and in parallel leads – cultural, political and social change. Our everyday living changes rapidly. Changing demographics and the emergence of new technologies shift the way in which we inhabit, use and share spaces. What is the role of design in the rapidly changing contemporary world? What is home in a future of densely populated city centres? What is the shop of the future – when e-commerce is changing the role and the experience of the high street? What is the office of the future when patterns and media of collaboration change? What is the library of the future? What is the school of the future – in times of an overload of information, and of numerous online resources and social networks? How can design activate what is important about physical proximity and interaction? How does contemporary design responds to the above issues? How can the historic context and typologies be studied and reactivated in new ways? Through our new MA programme in Interior Design we address the above questions in a rigorous, experimental and creative manner. We challenge the limits of the role of the designer and we explore how design pertains to different aspects of our everyday living. Political and cultural debates are re-articulated and expressed through a hands-on poetic and creative making approach. Hackney Pirates Live project – Interactive Theatre Stage set design: The UEL MA programme in Interior Design collaborated with the Hackney Pirates on this community-engaging

live project. Our MA students designed and built a realscale interactive stage-set; an imaginative immersive environment, which hosted the events organised by the Hackney Pirates in March 2019. The design project of the stage set, as well as the video art, was done by our MA Interior Design students, led by the programme leader, Dr Anastasia Karandinou. The sound design was done by Lalvin, UEL Sound Design student. The project was supported by UEL Civic Engagement team. Museum of London moving to Smithfield Market – Reinventing the Threshold between the museum and the city: Museums and cultural organisations are increasingly concerned with the issue of social inclusion. How is a museum of the 21st century addressing the broader public and not only a small specific part of the society? The vision of contemporary museums is to make sure that all citizens feel welcome, and that the museum exhibits, curation and relevant events and facilities are relevant to their everyday living. How does a museum become a vital part of the city life? In this context, the students redesigned the derelict Engine Building, situated next to the entrance of the new Museum of London (currently relocating to the Smithfield Market). The students redesigned the programme and form of the building; and this project was a medium for reinventing the threshold between the museum and the community.

The engine building has been re-interpreted as a threshold between the museum and the city. Both students have redesigend it as a small performance centre; Birce for music and Lasata for spoken word. Both proposals aim to create an informal interactive hub for the local community. In both cases, activities ‘spil out’ and inform the character of the neighbourhood.

MA Professional Landscape Architecture MA PLA, PG Dip Landscape Architecture, MA PLA (Conversion) 1 & 2 Dr Bridget Snaith CMLI Programme Leader

At the same time, we require a rigorously critical and creative outlook. We push our students to challenge accepted norms, and their own assumptions about what landscape is, what nature is, what beauty is, who the landscape is for, and what contemporary practice should be. We engage with theorists, with environmental and social concerns, and we carry out our own investigations and research. Landscape has extent in space and time. Travelling through it we are aware of continuity, and of change. Physical and social processes are at work, and we learn to read these forces and to engage with them creatively. Inevitably we bring our own memories and meanings. As landscape architects we also bring authorship, introduce new ideas, perhaps revealing for others the things we read there. Unlike architecture, the material we build with is alive. It is the ground we all stand on, the water we drink, the food we eat, the air we breathe, our part of the ecosystem and the place where we meet each other. Dr Bridget Snaith CMLI

P267 Landscape Architecture

The MA Professional Landscape Architecture programmes at UEL, span practice and academia, investigating landscape at all scales. We are firmly grounded in professional practice. We are taught by practitioners, work on live projects with real clients, address current issues, and include work-shadowing placements in our programmes.

MA/ PG Diploma/ MA(Conversion) Wandle Valley

Dr B Snaith, G Woodfall, M Pelka

The Landscape Architecture programmes are taught through design practice modules, and landscape theory modules. Theory provides an underpinning of critical thinking and professional knowledge to support the students own developing ideas explored in studio. This year our focus was urban rivers. Our field visit took us to Lyon, a city investing in riverside public spaces, and incremental regeneration of disused industrial wharves. We were hosted by BASE landscape architecture, France’s largest landscape practice, gaining insight, through presentations and tours, of significant BASE projects, including Saone riverside walkways and Parc Blandan with its Rampart Wave. In landscape theory we reviewed a range of contemporary approaches to river restoration and flood risk managemen, visiting projects across London. In studio we investigated the RIver Wandle, a tributary of the Thames, fifteen miles of which is rare chalk stream habitat in good condition. The Wandle Valley though largely built, contains a fragmented network of over 40 green spaces, and 12 nature reserves, many linked by the riverside Wandle Trail. It is a landscape with a rich history, vulnerable ecology and hydrology, but with significant capacity to support a growing population as green infrastructure.

We worked alongside the Wandle Valley Regional Park Trust, who are developing new models for coordinated management of some 900 hectares of landscape space across four Borough boundaries. WVRPT aims to provide environmental benefits, support sustainable economic growth, and build social capital and resilience for its growing communities. In term 1 Masters year students undertook landscape scale assessment of the valley across Wandsworth, Merton and Sutton, developing strategies for future greenspace and urban intervention in key locations. Conversion year students made proposals for a Regional Park HQ at the mouth of the Wandle in Wandsworth. In term 2 both years came together to imagine future developments for the river and adjacent communities at Colliers Wood and Poulter Park /Mill Green in the context of London’s predicted population growth and climate changes - increased flash flooding, reduced water supply, increased heat, and uncertain food security.

“.. it was necessary to think of a ruse, a way to take control of this site, and to begin its transformation..” Michel Desvignes, on Lyon, Intermediate Natures (2009)

PhD in Architecture + Design Dr Renee Tobe

Doctoral research in architecture at UEL is as transdisciplinary as the practice of architecture itself. High level impact studies that examine smart cities, and intelligent design with contextual analysis mean that we work with both the Sustainable Research Institute and colleagues from humanities. International experts in city design, moving image, sensory perception, retrofit housing, natural environment, and philosophy guide students through individually developed research projects. The intent of the doctorate is to produce high quality researchers across the different strands of the built environment, that support students’ own concerns as well as funded research investigations.
