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.

Artists in the city drawing & research workshop

 

We ran a three-day drawing and research workshop with a group of eight architecture alumni and current BSc students from the University of East London (UEL), supporting us as co-researchers, at SPACE Studios at the Triangle in Hackney this week.

We are currently consolidating the ‘Artists in the city’ case studies, that were carried out by the 2022-23 UEL cohort of unit A students in collaboration with 17 artists, based in different buildings across Hackney ran by SPACE Studios.

The collaborative research project aims to develop innovative methods of socio-spatial analysis and assessment to better understand and communicate the wider impact that Artist Communities have on Londons' neighbourhoods.
