Read More...Our year brief ‘MAGNET – doubt, delight, change’ (Cedric Price brief 15.3.96) refers to a series of highly visible pedestrian infrastructure projects by one of London's architect 'thinkers', Cedric Price. Magnets were designed to re-invigorate sterile urban areas for public use and provoke questions about politics of space. Design Studio (2)5 typically chooses sites where time and transformation are vivid or polemical. The aim is to inspire students to view their proposals as potential generators of positive change set within the context of current issues. We encourage group and individual (informed) risk-taking and experimentation in order to achieve transformation. In terms of programme we started the year with the aim of addressing the climate change crisis but have broadened the theme to include student’s individual concerns in this year of intense change. Free Zoo A brief to design an interchange and viewing platform or 'free space' on the boundary of London Zoo. Rapid Response Museum A brief to design a museum that exhibits a collection from a current or recent event.
