Interior Architecture - Year 3

This year’s Spatial Narratives, driven by the global climatic dis-course, challenged students to think about design as a pro-moter of climate awareness and enabler for climate action. Prompted by a fictional collective of Sci-Formers (Scientists + Performers) who collaborate to scientifically challenge wasteful practice and raise awareness through art, students speculated on novel typologies and hybrid environments emerging from the study of scientific laboratories and performance spaces. Term I concluded with innovative proposals to transform the London Canal Museum into a prototype Cli-Lab, as a spatial manifesto towards a more sustainable London. Following the successful paradigm from the last two years, the Co-Production Workshop held with medical students from Im-perial College provided guidance from practitioners, clinicians, experts, and patient advocates for our group to consider how design affects our health and propose small-scale healthcare interventions in the public realm. The Thesis Project, in term II, is the main pursuit for Year 3 students. Each student identifies a host building and devises a programme based on analysis and personal design interests. Ideas are explored through an array of techniques that include material research/testing and immersive technologies.
