cafe and a public realm project. In 2015/16 we will run a MArch (Part 2) teaching unit in conjunction with First Base; developers of a £3.5bn mixed-use project at Silvertown Quays. The unit will work together with the developer’s architects including Feilden Clegg Studios, West 8 and Fletcher Priest to test and explore alternative futures for the existing outline planning consent.
Our purpose is to develop a practicebased teaching model that can engage with significant, real projects in a way that benefits both the student experience and the project itself. Our knowledge and sensitivity to the existing communities, landscapes and infrastructures of east London provides a unique condition to achieve this. Roland Karthaus, CAO Director
