The Bartlett School of Architecture at UCL is one of the world's
leading places at which to study and teach architecture. Every year
it attracts hundreds of students from around to world to come and
participate in its highly experimental and rigorous range of
architecture programmes. Its graduates have won an extraordinary
range of prizes on the international stage, and are highly sought
after by architectural practices globally.
"Bartlett Designs: Speculating With Architecture" is a
collection of the very best of this student work from the last
decade. Through a detailed presentation of over 170 student
projects, each succinctly explained by the individual tutors
concerned, the book shows how architectural designs and ideas can
creatively address some of the world's most pressing urban and
social problems through buildings and other forms of architectural
invention. The wide range of projects on show deal inventively with
such important issues as cultural identity, housing, climate
change, health and public space, as well as architectural concerns
with the imagination of exciting forms and aesthetic languages.
Complementing the student projects is a series of short and
provocative essays written by tutors at the school. Ranging from
landscape to buildings, from urbanism to interaction, from making
to advanced technology, these essays postulate a series of
manifestoes and agendas - and so both create a conceptual framework
around the incredible variety of student work on display, and
suggest some of the most current and pertinent agendas for
architecture today
