Unit A

Unit A is a research-led BSc Architecture Design Studio at the University of East London, led by Carsten Jungfer and Fernanda Palmieri since 2015. 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.

Her award-wining design proposal ‘Homerton Hall’, is an adaptable multi-use building that aims to serve Homerton’s diverse population as a place for cultural exchange in the widest sense: Markets, performances and events, exhibitions, community space. As central anchor-point for the community, the building activates Homerton Grove Park, links up with Chats Palace and Castle Cinema, extends Chatsworth Road Market and connects Clapton Park area.
