Bartlett School of Architecture Summer School 2012

In 2012 the Bartlett School of Architecture’s annual Summer School will be held from Monday 6 August until Friday 17 August. Each year we expect to accommodate a group of up to 80 participants of varying ages and differing backgrounds, including prospective university students, international students, secondary school students and those who are simply keen to develop their interest in architecture and the Bartlett School. This year the Summer School will explore the theme of Metroland.

Metroland: London’s population is currently around 7,500,000 and is growing. It is currently the most populous municipality in the European Union. New housing is required to accommodate the population; airports and railways are needed to move around. Previous attempts to deal with growth have included garden cities, suburban overspill estates and very high-density housing projects.

In 2012 the Bartlett School of Architecture’s annual Summer School will tour the inner city and suburbs of London exploring these areas surroundings recording what they find and developing architectural responses.Proposals may be small interventions or larger projects. Using the Bartlett’s excellent workshop and studios and University College London’s associated facilities we will stage a practical symposium to survey, speculate and construct.

Those wishing to apply should contact: Michelle Bush, The Bartlett School of Architecture, University College London, Wates House, 22 Gordon Street, London WC1E 0QB or email m.bush@ucl.ac.uk with Summer School as the subject. Application and payment deadline is 31st May 2012.
