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. In this way, a place can also be seen as something with its own identity, which each student can personally interpret. The importance of ‘character’ and ‘personality’ is emphasised throughout the design process, whether it concerns analysis, site interpretation or architectural vision.

Inventiveness and imagination are cultivated through a series of design projects, constructed or represented through models or drawings that tackle a range of scales and experiences. These include the analytical study of an object; the critical mapping of a place; 15 group ‘shelter’ constructions that respond to a particular pocket of space in Borough Market; a critical survey and sectional drawing of a fragment of Rome (field trip); and the building – ‘ante portas’. This key project of the year brings together all the skills developed through the year into a building. It is sited on the fringe of the city in Southwark and explores themes of trading, crafting, healing, feasting, debating and keeping.

Real Fictions Spaces are determined not only by their physical spatiality, but also by the permanent or ephemeral narrative structures their occupation creates. Historical accounts, personal experiences and everyday rituals merge with fictional representations to build a composite perception of a place. Events that are collectively commemorated or repressed, brilliant memories of past glories, accidents and catastrophes that leave physical and mental scars, or fantasies and aspirations for the future, are influenced by and give birth to legends, myths and stories communicated verbally or represented in literature, cinema and the arts.

Unit 1 seeks to define an architecture that detects, reveals and links fragments of spatial narratives and provides a fertile ground for the production of new ones. This year, our studies and interventions take New York and Manhattan as a laboratory.

Icon "It is for architects to move beyond the self-conscious set pieces and to devise, as in the best music scores, gaps of uncertainty in which the individual can participate."

Cedric Price, Re:CP Through Cedric Price's sketches, a kind of shorthand writing (probably done with one of his fountain pens and his rubber stamp) and through a series of provocative projects, Cedric Price influenced the work of a wide range of architects like Archigram, Rogers, Fosters and Alsop, as well as Rem Koolhaas and Bernard Tschumi and many others.

In the 1960s his aviary became an icon for the London Zoo, while his Fun Palace project was an icon for a new type of open, moveable, adjustable space. In the 1990s the London Eye became an icon for the new millennium and for the redevelopment of the South Bank, which was initiated by the ideas of Price in order to "bring about a major rejuvenation".

Within this unit we investigate three iconic themes/gaps of the work of Cedric Price and re-interpret them from a new point of view.

Performa The year started with the building of an artificial city of dynamic architectures.

Taking its point of departure in observed transformations, the artificial city exists through its performed interrelationships.

The city architectures depend on each other for light, wind, projection surfaces, projections, for movement and change.

The city performers become the basis for a first design proposal within the modernist context of Notting Hill Gate. Here, the artificial architectures meet a spatial context informed by scale and inhabitation, by place and programme.

In the final project we went to New York to explore the raised territory of the Highline. Focusing on the sectional cut along the block running between West 15th and West 18th Street and from the waterfront to Broadway, our site exists as a nodal point on this section line, defined by the intersection of the High Line and 10th Avenue. We explore the making of an infrastructural programme engaging the interchanges and intersection of the city. The programmes occur across time becoming the basis for a transformative architecture.

Urban Stress Unit 5 have been investigating ‘urban stress’ and exploring the in between, forgotten and seemingly inconsequential spaces left over by large-scale infrastructure. What is the impact of this type of urban stress on the individual and the community? Studies were undertaken both in London and Wales before moving to Genoa, Italy – this year's City of Culture, a city transformed by the imposition of large scale infrastructure – to discover sites and spaces suitable for new interventions.

Tom Wood passed away in May this year after a long illness. A student with immense talent, potential and charm, he will be greatly missed by his many friends at the Bartlett.

Architecture & Urban Agriculture ‘A city is a living thing. It has a complex metabolism, a voracious appetite and very poor eyesight. Improvements in transportation and communication mean that its feeding ground is now global and the consequences of its consumption distant and forgettable. How can we turn cities into self-regulating, sustainable creatures and prevent them from eating themselves out of existence?’ Herbert Girardet The footprint of a city is defined as the amount of land required to sustain its metabolism; that is, to provide the raw materials on which it feeds and process the waste products that it excretes.

London is the original megacity: how much land does it really take to keep it going? Britain's productive land adds up to about 21,000,000 ha. Its total surface area is 24,400,000 ha. London's footprint is only marginally less than the size of the whole UK. Project 1 Horticulture and Habitation Brief: Develop a design strategy that employs sustainable design criteria and the emergent technologies of renewable energy generation to design a dwelling for a single person. This dwelling should make as small an impact on the environment as reasonably possible, including the attempt to achieve zero emissions. The dwelling should also provide all the facilities and creature comforts one could reasonably expect in an urban environment.

Project 2 Re-marketing Brief: Drawing on the concepts and ideas established in the first project we re-locate Borough Market on to the site of the old London Bridge. The market design makes apparent the connection between the food, the landscapes and people from which it has come.

Limits & Landscapes Buildings, cities and landscapes result from the same tectonic processes of erosion and accumulation, drift and growth. Seemingly contrasting topographies of London and Oslo are the focus of our investigations.

Extreme climates, multicultural populations, geographical inertia and geological transformations encourage us to respond with hybrids of site and programme.

Dynamic responses take the form of 1:1 recorded events, 1:100 urban concepts and 1:1000 architectural topographies.

History and Theory Architectural history and theory is a staging post, a provisional place of reflection, a continual project. And it is omnipresent – every architect, every historian, every theorist, knowingly or not, uses some intersection of history and theory every time they design, document, discuss or speculate.

At the Bartlett, architectural history and theory interjects at all levels, from introductions to architectural meanings to textual analysis, from encounters with buildings to the elaboration of critical practices, from public discussions to individually focused research projects.

Prof. Iain Borden Director of History and Theory

“Let’s play it by ear……”

This series of three audio CDs represents a selection of work by students produced during the History and Theory components in the BSc, Diploma, MSc and PhD programmes.

Each CD brings together a series of tracks in an intimate aural trail of architectural images, impressions and reflections, enabling the listener to be situated simultaneously in relation to three contexts of site: 1. the exhibition, 2. the voice of the reader and 3. the images of place, built form or event invoked by the voice.

The CDs may be listened to on personal CD-Walkmans that are available from the entrance to the exhibition (£10 deposit).

Each CD-Walkman has an accompanying guide for orientation between the exhibition and the Quadrangle of UCL. Peg Rawes Coordinator, Diploma History and Theory

Technology The major technical projects occur in BSc Yr 3 and Diploma Yr 5. In both cases, students are asked to propose a dissertation on a relevant subject in parallel with a design proposal. The dissertation must illustrate how the investigated subject has informed their design proposal.

Nick Westby’s prize winning BSc Yr 3 Technical dissertation, titled ‘Form, Cast, Burn,’ explores the idea that concrete formwork could be burned away rather than dismantled. The investigation begins with a scheme that depends on a five-year cycle of the construction and burning of formwork – a smokery and vintage port cellar in Shoreditch. It culminates in a Wedding Registry in the Oslo Fjord where a gift of a concrete hut would be formed, cast and burnt over a 2 day ceremony.

The dissertation is demonstrated through an impressive range of 1:1 tests some of which can be seen here.

Nicholas Henderson’s prize winning Diploma Yr 5 Technical dissertation is an ambitious proposal for the conversion of the Tobacco Docks in Liverpool. It is investigated and presented in the manner of a DIY manual ‘questioning the fashionable means of urban development; transforming industrial resonance and presence into inaccessible guarded compounds for the wealthy’. Nick inverts this process through his manual, describing in obsessive detail every part of the conversion process from ‘utility routing’ to ‘dismantling procedures with a thermic lance’.

Architecture is made of stuff.

Technology at the Bartlett is based on the making of things, how they perform in the environment, the experience of the results, and cognitive interpretation.

The scientific knowledge and technical expertise in architecture are extensive and their rate of change substantial. We develop the ability to learn how to learn, a vital necessity for an architectural career. Technology learning is centred on and applied to design output, in-depth research and experiments with real and virtual prototypes, as part of an interactive design process.

Brazilian Tropicalia This year’s field trip focused on two amazing cities, Rio de Janeiro and Brasilia. Brazil’s culture and races are mixed, coalescing to form that which is ultimately and authentically Brazilian, as reflected in the music, dance and visual cultures – a rich, exotic and colourful mixture that is infused with optimism – a Brazilian 'tropicalia'.

In shedding the twentieth century mythical role of objectivity in architecture, we take interest in the liberation of our profession from years of having a conscience concerning aesthetics. Surely aesthetics can go well with ethics, contrary to modernist propaganda?

Unit 11 is interested in a contemporary architecture that is exuberant and intense.

We are interested in depicting and arousing emotion, in hyper-visual imagery, in a multi-layered depth of soft edges.

The Public Private House A recurring theme in architectural discourse states that the house is the origin and archetype of architecture, the manifestation of its most important attributes.

Certain houses are both an official residence and a home, the representation of both a public and a private self. This year our project is to design such a house in London for a person or group with both a public and a private life.

In accordance with the Mayor’s demand, outlined in The London Plan, for new housing to accommodate other social programmes, The Public Private House is doubled publicly and privately, coexisting with another function and other occupants.

The Public Private House is a prototype for dense, urban living. Exploiting the fluctuations of architecture and nature, it creates a self-sufficient micro-city and hybrid ecology – natural and artificial – conducive to its survival and growth. In seasonal dialogue with its environment, it is a catalyst for change an architectural fertiliser in a specific part of London.

Shadows of the Past Can Be Cast Into the Future • It is impossible to separate architecture from occupancy.

• All forms of occupancy require architecture to exist in time as well as space.

• An occupied architecture will always interact with its environment.

• Some occupants can be intelligent without being animate.

The twentieth century distinction between real and virtual is as antiquated as the nineteenth century distinction between body and mind.

Unit 14 is a place where students define their own territory and undertake their own design research. Territories include small and large-scale architectural propositions, interactive installations, choreographed performances and animation.

Concept Process Realisation Unit 15 uses film video, animation and motion graphics to generate, develop, refine and represent spatial interventions.

Movement, Image, Sound Term 1 consisted of three projects that look at movement, image/text and sound with respect to the way they create the environment for urban life.

A Tomato School For several years the design group Tomato have been conducting design workshops, seminars and lectures all over the world.

Recently they have been asked about the possibility of giving these activities a permanent home. For Unit 15's major design project, Tomato acted as clients for a project to design a new Tomato School.

Ground-Horizon Ground is suggestive of the origins of things. Its firm presence is the foundation of how we place ourselves in the world. It is the resting place of structures and is strongly connected to our ideas of materials and of things. It suggests protection and touch. To occupy the ground we situate ourselves in a place and our imagination gives the site an identity. We are anchored and we can reflect inwards.

The horizon is the end of earth. It is the limit of our visual perception. The relationship between our bodies and the horizon is the basis for our perception of space.

When we address the horizon we look out, we project beyond ourselves. If ground is things, horizon is ideas, projections and abstraction. Metaphorically the horizon represents the limit of our knowledge, but a boundary is also that from which something begins. Beyond the horizon there is new ground. Our experience of architecture is deeply rooted in a play between the concepts of ground and horizon. It is what situates us in the world.

Vertigo/Verticality This year we initially explored the dimension of verticality in architecture and the field trip was to Manhattan. Could highrise go even further? Could vertical buildings take on more interesting forms than generic extrusions of the ground plane?

Need they be as banal as they usually are?

Are the economic and technical constraints such that there is little room left for experimental design and fantasy? As we rapidly move towards more compact hyperdense cities, particularly in the Far East, such questions are becoming highly topical. As for the programme, although the city calls mainly for multi-use towers, the students are free to make their own choices and to propose more idiosyncratic interventions.

The overall aim is to push the envelope further with respect to the design of verticality, and also to encourage each student to find her or his niche and individual interpretation.

Needless to say, most students joining the unit have eventually developed their own briefs for various sites, giving relatively little importance to the underlying theme of verticality, and have even chosen some sites outside of New York, including Tokyo and London’s Canary Wharf. Although we initially encouraged students to pursue the main theme, we were, as usual, even more interested in welcoming diversions from the brief. And it shows in the resulting projects!

The Pataphysical Exceptions of Reflexive Architecture Since the mid 1990s the impact of virtual technology has rapidly changed the architectural profession. This change has altered even the most mundane normative practice. Also it has drastically altered the nature of the architectural avantgarde. Its direction has progressed from the affected nihilism of the deconstructive era of the 1980s to paradigms of responsiveness. The basic premise of this work is that objects and events can be made to respond to the specifics of sites, the evolutionary emergent imperative, users and viewers, manufacturing processes and virtual tectonics.

It is our contention that the impact of virtuality and advanced remote sensing devices should lead architects to reassess Surrealist and Pataphysical concepts of space. There are many similarities between these modes of creativity and the way an architect might perceive, interact and make connections between their architecture and the myriad of machinic and natural ecologies that constitute the sites of our contemporary architecture.

Homo Sapiens, Robo Sapiens, Home Sapiens Unit 20 is interested in crossing boundaries of the traditional architectural practice, developing innovative conditions in architecture. By looking into advances in a wide range of sciences and art, each student develops an individual field of interest through a one or two year research programme: bio-medics, ‘extropianism’, small-scaled intelligence, light structures, material engineering, and digital aesthetics. Objects in our daily life should be under reconsideration.

Architecture is built up by many different strata, scientific knowledge, micro-worlds and objects, which interact within the realm of time, speed, movement, periodical reproduction, and random connectivity.

The work of Unit 20 has been published and exhibited widely. Recent exhibitions include ‘Actions re Form’ at CAPC Coimbra and Architekturgalerie Munich, the Valencia University, the Framework Gallery in Berlin, the Cork Gallery in London, the Media Festival in Florence, the Tokyo Institute of Technology, and participation in the Rotterdam Biennale 2003. The Unit 20 book was published by the University of Valencia/Actar in 2002.

The Unit 20 field trip to Tokyo was supported by The Daiwa Anglo-Japanese Foundation.

The exhibitions ‘Bartlett Experiments – Marjan Colletti and Marcos Cruz’ at the Tokyo Institute of Technology, and ‘Summer Show 2004 – Unit 20’ were supported by The Great Britain Sasakawa Foundation.

Stay ÷ Time A fascination of cities over time is that they tell stories about people, the way they lived, worked and what they felt was important. Whether it is poetry and myth, technology and finance, the cultural fabric is built into architecture one layer over the next, generation after generation.

The project this year is concerned about the reading of context, but perhaps not in the most orthodox sense. Our location is Penang in Malaysia, an erstwhile trading port on the historic spice routes to the east. This small island city reflects its rich cultural past from early Indian civilisation to that of the Portuguese, Dutch, British and later the Japanese military occupation of World War 2. Like many cities of occupation, those that came left their legacies. The colonial imprint announces its origins clearly, but the interwoven material style of the Chinese and indigenous Malay community provides a more subtle backdrop. The multi-cultural histories are like continuously interwoven threads, seen in the buildings and landscape, recorded in literature, and lived out in everyday life.

The programme is for a place to stay. It may include some of the traditional components of the hotel, but a wider and more poetic interpretation of ‘stay’ is explored – a place to observe, listen or read; a place that reflects the environment, sensitive to its context but, at the same time, making a sharp, direct and tough statement for the future.

Transplants/Transactions This year, our first in Diploma, we seek a critical understanding of architectural obsolescence and the city. The year began with 'Transplant', a series of built interventions within the abandoned buildings of the former Queen Elizabeth Children's Hospital in Hackney, East London. The work explores and reveals unique characteristics under the skin of redundant and decaying sites. Later in the year, proposals for the abandoned spaces of Stralau Peninsula East Berlin are investigated as sites of 'Transaction'. Designed in detail, fish auctions, newspaper archives, self storage repositories, and so on, seek to acknowledge the unique character of the city's ad hoc public realm. Each project becomes a means to pursue the unit's underlying agenda; to practice and investigate the hybrid modes of design and making.

[Bosphorus] Drifts [Caspian] Shifts Unit 24 investigated conditions of flux, places of exchange, transformation and information. Focusing our investigations on a part of the Silk Road between Istanbul and Baku, an area defined by flows between the east and west, we consider a range of shifting conditions and continually changing environments.

The unit explores an architecture that is part caravan (moving object) and part building or caravanserei (fixed place). We propose architectures of interferences, interruptions and obstacles to the flow of things in motion. Projects are sited in Istanbul or Baku.

The year’s programme comprises three interrelated parts. Rift: a project defining two points of reference and the space in between. Drift: an assemblage/construct of moments of drifting, derive, currents, turbulence, vortices and eddies. Shift: proposals developed from individuals concerns ranged from markets of various types, hotels, taxi stations, bird sanctuary, apiary radio stations, weather register, sanatoriums and dog racing tracks.

Graduate Design Options MArch Architectural Design enrolls graduates from countries worldwide. In its 11 years of existence, graduates have won more than 20 architectural prizes and 40% are on the faculties of architecture schools. The programme acts as a combination of master-class and project studio.

It deliberately sets out to extract and encourage the individual direction and thrust of the students.

This year, Peter Cook took advantage of the opening of the Kunsthaus in Graz to take the group there at the start of the session and some students have made their own proposals for this city. Others have taken off from the general year's theme of 'the graduate student' as a field for investigation and design. The group complete their work in September and a dedicated show will take place at Wates House at the start of next term.

MSc Urban Design is a project-based programme aiming to encourage experimentation on the future of urban form.

Urban design can mean the design of the city as a whole or of discrete elements within it. The programme accepts definitions and aims to explore design proposals at both a strategic scale and at detailed design level.

In the last three years, the main theme has been Hyperdensity; students have made field trips to cities including Hong Kong, Shanghai and New York, where they have developed a series of urban design projects. This year, projects are based on the Hudson Yards area of Manhattan.

MSc Virtual Environments programme explores the realm of virtual environments – the creation of the digital desktop and augmented and immersive spaces within an architectural context.

Responding to the impact of virtual worlds and computer technology on the design of the built environment, the programme focuses on the development of sophisticated skills and the theoretical basis required by design professionals at the forefront of their fields.

MPhil/PhD by Architectural Design Graduating Students 2003-4: Dr Penelope Haralambidou, Dr Yeoryia Manolopoulou, Dr Victoria Watson, Current Students: Adam Adamis, Ana Paola Araújo, Stephanie Brandt, Nick Callicott, Chadi Chamoun, Nat Chard, Li Lian Chee, Marjan Colletti, Marcos Cruz, Catja De Haas, Steve Hardy, Teresa Hoskyns, Ersi Ioannidou, Rosalie Kim, Tae Young Kim, Kristen Kreider, Constance Lau, Junghee Lee, Kwang Guan Lee, Tea Lim, Lesley Naa Norle Lokko, Ana Luz, Igor Marjanovic, Bradley Starkey, Mette Ramsgard Thomsen, Salvador Rivas, Neil Wenman, Stefan White, Ivana Wingham.

Leading to a PhD in Architecture, the MPhil/PhD by Architectural Design allows especially able and reflective designers to undertake research within the Bartlett School of Architecture's speculative and experimental ethos. The first to be established in the UK, the Bartlett MPhil/PhD by Architectural Design is one of few such doctoral programmes world-wide.

The programme draws on the strengths of design teaching and doctoral research at the Bartlett, encouraging the development of architectural research through the interaction of designing and writing. A Research by Architectural Design thesis has two inter-related elements of equal importance: a project and a text. The project may be drawn, filmed, modelled, built, or use whatever media is appropriate.

UCL’s multi-disciplinary environment offers a stimulating and varied research culture that connects research by architectural design to developments in other disciplines, such as medicine, art and digital media. The programme is intended for graduates of architecture and other disciplines, such as art, who wish to pursue research by architectural design. Currently enrolled on the programme are 29 students from over 10 countries.

Dr Jonathan Hill and Dr Jane Rendell organise a biannual research conference that includes speakers from the UK and overseas. In 2002 the theme was ‘Opposites Attract: Research by Design’. In November 2004 it will be ‘Critical Architecture’.

For the PhD programme in Architectural History and Theory, see the Bartlett Graduate Guide.

Victoria Watson (opposite, top) ‘The Atmospheric Signifier: Miesian FormGiving, Lefebvrian Space and Cotton Grid’ This thesis argues that Mies van der Rohe’s architecture is modern, but not abstract.

Mies’ architecture seeks to evoke the sense of a point prior to abstraction, as if the architecture is waiting, mute, tranquil but tense, for signification to emerge.

The thesis approaches the problem through two modes of inquiry. The first through discursive analysis of texts and of architectural artifacts; in particular the thesis draws upon the thought of Henri Lefebvre and upon the idea of abstraction that is embedded in his thinking about architecture. The second mode of inquiry is through material action, that is through the design, development and manufacture of concrete imaginative works; these works are referred to in the thesis as Cotton Grid.

Penelope Haralambidou (opposite, bottom) ‘The Blossoming of Perspective: an Investigation of Spatial Representation’ Following Jean-François Lyotard’s reading of Marcel Duchamp's final pornographic assemblage, Given: 1° the waterfall, 2° the illuminating gas …, as an incarnation and inversion of the rules of linear perspective, the thesis compares each constituent element of the assemblage with its perspectival equivalent in order to define an expanded spatial schema. It concludes by identifying stereoscopy as its central and intentional theme and stereo-photogrammetry as its manufacturing process and sees Given as a stereoscopic 'blossoming of perspective'.

Yeoryia Manolopoulou (this page) ‘Drawing on Chance: Indeterminacy, Perception, and Design’ This thesis considers architecture as a physical and psychological construction, and discusses the role of indeterminacy in it. It argues that architecture is a product and a producer of both design and chance. It investigates how our perceptual and aesthetic habits are altered by chance events or accidents and asks whether architecture might employ them as creative devices, by the investigation of art projects, in particular Duchamp’s The Bride Stripped Bare by Her Bachelors, Even, and the actual production of design work.
