Children in the City WE EXPLORED SPACES for children’s learning and playing in the heart of London’s Bethnal Green. Drawing inspiration from our visit to the Little Forest Folk forest nursery, and precedent children’s nurseries from around the world, the students explored blurring boundaries between internal and external space, and how materiality can impact on experience. The design projects evolved through thorough research, model-making to explore elemental building components, and explorative drawings methods that question and explore the physical and pedagogical relations of learning, playing, and creating spaces in the city for children.
Studio for a Sculptor GROUP G EMPHASISES the investigation of the relationship between social conditions, materiality and performativity of space, and conceptual and formal ideas. We test forms and notions with a series of smaller compositional exercises and ended the year with ‘Studio for a Sculptor’. This project explored the spatial relationships in a unique place to live, work and exhibit. The brief was to design a home-studio for a globally renowned sculptor, including a public exhibition space that engaged with the local community. Students created an architecture that responded to their chosen sculptor’s body, personality, conceptual themes and process of sculpting.
An Artist’s Studio in Bethnal Green FOR THE SECOND semester, students were asked to design an artist’s studio in the neighbourhood of Bethnal Green. Thinking about the role of artists in our society, they developed a project specific to a chosen contemporary artist.
