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 Zaynab Ahmed nominated for RIBA ELAG Student Award 2025 for Contextual Design

 






Zaynab Ahmed has been nominated for the RIBA ELAG Student Award 2025 for Contextual Design for her project titled ‘Common Grounds’ that proposes a new civic space for Stratford’s town centre and aims to support creative exchange between artists at Grow Studios in Alice Billing House and the local community: Spaces for a book club, live-performances, events, workshops and meetings offer opportunities across all ages to meet, gather, learn, and share and to have a good time. 

Congratulations and fingers crossed!
