The Bartlett’s BSc degree programme aims to develop a creative, diverse and rigorous approach to architecture and design from the outset. Year 1 is centred on the design studio and students observe, draw, model and design, based in the School’s design studios and workshop, from the first week onwards. The main intention is to explore ‘ways of seeing’; understanding and interpreting objects/events/places and learning to look beyond the visible into the unseen and ‘absurd’ qualities of things. The importance of ‘character’ and personality are emphasised throughout the design process whether in analysis, site interpretation or architectural vision. A number of recording techniques are used as ways of clarifying the subject rather than as purely graphic representation. Through being aware of the possibilities and limitations of various techniques, each student learns to express and then develop critically and appropriately, an intuitive idea for an architectural proposition. This year, starting with a collection of objects the students built eight installations around Pitzhanger Manor, Sir John Soane’s house in Ealing. Each of these follies was designed and built as a response to Hogarth’s A Rake’s Progress. After a mapping exercise in Marseilles and the Camargue the final projects of the year were individual building interventions on several small pocket sites around Borough Market and Southwark.
