Unit A

Unit A is a research-led BSc Architecture Design Studio at the University of East London, lead by Carsten Jungfer and Fernanda Palmieri. We work with live-project situations and connect design learning with research through knowledge exchange between students and external partner organisations. Unit A focuses on social-spatial conditions within contested urban contexts and understands architectural design both as a spatial and strategic response to specific socio-spatial contexts.

Palermo field-trip dates

Please make arrangements to book your flights to Palermo, Italy:

The dates are:
Departure Sat 09 November
Coming back Sat 16 November


Us tutors (CJ / FXS) are taking the easyjet flight going out from London Gatwick Sat 09 November at 11:45 arriving 15:35 in Palermo.

Alternatively you can go with ryanair (slightly worse, but same type of budget airline) We suggest you avoid travelling with hold baggage, save costs, but also travel lightly. It's not good to take too many things....

Coming back on Sat 16 Nov (Palermo - London) you can pick either easyjet or ryanair. up to you.

Make sure you have passports and visa(if needed) in place. this is your responsibility.

RE accommodation. Just to be clear:
We will all stay in the same place. It's a former monastery / now hostel / B&B: Collegio di Maria - Palermo. We will do tutorials / working together so no time to waste getting lost, etc... and €20 a head / per night is pretty good value.

We need exact numbers to confirm the reservation.

Us tutors are coordinating the accommondation for all participants with the hostel. This is something you don't have to do. We hope all this is clear? - if not e-mail us.
