The Bartlett School of Architecture at University College London is
one of the world's leading institutions 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 student work from the last decade.
Through a detailed presentation of over 100 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,
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 which 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.
