The exhibition offers an insight into student work at all levels of study, covering a range of scales and project complexity.
The Part A cohort primarily explores the theme of ‘Identity’ with the ‘Home’ project, which requires the students to design an integrated home/workshop for a fictional individual of their own invention. Scaling up in Part B, the theme of ‘Community’ is explored via ‘Inclusion/Exclusion in the City’, in which students design a library for the city of Liverpool – an intercultural hub with the aim of galvanising social engagement.
The overarching theme for Part C is ‘Diversity’, and here the students are given licence to explore projects that matter to them under the umbrella of research-informed design labs with their own distinctive agendas and approaches. This year the labs are themed to:
- AAA – Architecture in the Anthropocene Age
- Beyond the Surface
- Laboratory Conferta
- Meta Tectonics
- Prototype
The show isn't just about design skills, but also entrepreneurial spirit. Master’s students explore the theme of ‘Architect Entrepreneur’, critically examining the role of architects in society. This year's projects focus on Bucharest, Romania, with a focus on sustainable practices and disrupting unsustainable consumption.
Come along to celebrate the innovative ideas and dedication of our students, all working towards designing a better future.
