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.

intervention & brief precedence


Here are is an example of an architectural response to an existing site condition (a topographical edge). I thought this might be useful as your sites are all slightly unusual.

A new space is inserted here, but also a new type of connection created between the two levels. Intertesting for you at this stage is maybe that there is a formal programme inside the new space (library), and an informal programme above, that is solely generated by the roof.  Very resourceful and strategic.
