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.

Unit A student Anik Md Chowdury nominated for RIBA ELAG Student Award 2024 for Contextual Design

Anik Md Chowdury  has been nominated for the RIBA ELAG Student Award 2024 for Contextual Design for his project titled 'Lockwood Cycle & Leisure Centre' that promotes closer integration of spaces for well-being into Blackhorse Lane’s industrial landscape with a focus on activities for the benefit of the local community. The proposal carefully reconfigures the found industrial structure and proposes a new indoor pool, a cafe, a bicycle workshop, green spaces and extends the Walthamstow wetlands bicycle network. Congratulations and fingers crossed!
