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. 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.

Unit A student Baris Freed nominated for RIBA ELAG Student Award 2025 for Contextual Design

 







Baris Freed has been nominated for the RIBA ELAG Student Award 2025 for Contextual Design for his project titled ‘Candy Wrap Studios’ that combines a shared programme of Creative Workspace with Sports and establishes shared spaces both for local youth and the emerging artist community. The project aims to off-set the erosion of spaces for cultural exchange and the everyday, that is fuelled by the profit-driven approach to development across Stratford. 

Congratulations and fingers crossed!
