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 Yogesh Mall nominated for RIBA ELAG Student Award 2025 for Sustainable Design

 






Yogesh Mall has been nominated for the RIBA ELAG Student Award 2025 for Sustainable Design for his project titled ‘Stratford Open Workshop’, that proposes to re-introduce spaces for collective making, learning and a building sustainable community across Stratford’s Civic Quarter. Embracing circular design using locally sourced low carbon materials such as rammed earth and thatch, the project aims to become an exemplar for alternative approaches to development and regeneration of the Stratford town centre.

Congratulations and fingers crossed!
