AIA UK Announces Annual Student Design Charrette '09
24 October 2009
The American Institute of Architects UK Chapter announces the theme of its 2009 Student Design Charrette: Individual in the Crowd.
This annual event is a lively opportunity for students to “limber up” early in the academic year. Students will design collaboratively in teams of 6-8, mentored by a practicing architect. To heighten a fun sense of competition, students are encouraged to work as a team “representing” their School.
Individuals are encouraged as well and will be married-up with a team on the day.

Stephanie Brandt (SPACEPILOTS) and Carol Mancke (Machina Loci) are investigating the idea of space as a living landscape: spaces, not simply defined by pure physical mass, but rather as repositories of accumulated action. Their project has three strands: a lecture series around the politics of public space, art and agency and subversive or alternative urban practices; student workshops in Japan, Bucharest and London; and an intervention in the public realm in London.
The first of the three lectures will take place at The Building Centre on the evening of 5 October 2009 from 6:30 to 8:30 PM. The focus will be on broad relationships between public space, politics and democracy. Speakers will be: Dr Luis Arena, Professor of Philosophy and Head of the Department of Philosophy at the University of Zaragoza; the architect and thinker Uriel Fogué of Architecture Agency in Madrid and Dr Malcolm Miles, Professor of Cultural Theory at the University of Plymouth.
