Our academics will then lead a tour the facilities at Here East to demonstrate the close relationship between studio, workshop and laboratory. There will also be an opportunity to see some student work in progress from Year 1 and 2 cohorts, to gain insight into the skills taught within Bio-Integrated Design.

Design for Manufacture MArch
Academics will lead a tour of our fabrication and workshop facilities and there will be opportunity to ask questions and find out about the prototypes and materials currently being used. There will also be live demonstrations of several of the KUKA industrial robot arms carrying out robotic-fabrication activities, and s selection of work, including prototypes and drawings, from current and past cohorts will be displayed in the studio space for viewing.

Design for Performance and Interaction MArch

Situated Practice MA
Academics will lead a walk along the canal, skirting the Olympic Park to Hackney Wick, a neighbourhood of local industries alongside the densest concentration of artist studios in Europe under threat from regeneration and gentrification. Along the way, students and academics will take collective readings of the urban landscape.

Urban Surveillance

Film still from ‘Aeronautica’, by Henrietta Williams
Artists and researchers Henrietta Williams and Merijn Royaards share their short-film collaboration, Aeronautica, exposing the gradual dominance of our aerial landscape from surveillance, whilst also touching on the alluring beauty this new viewpoint provides. Following a screening of the film, Henrietta and Merijn discuss the production of the work, the nature of their audio-visual collaboration, and the possibilities that film making offers to extend architectural research methods into new forms of artist practice. 


About the film
Aeronautica, by Merijn Royaards and Henrietta Williams

Taking its name from a book documenting a famous early balloon journey from London to Weilburg in Germany, Aeronautica tracks the shift in the aerial viewpoint from one of sublime spectacle to military dominance and destruction. It is an aesthetic exploration of the emotional force of the distant ‘God’s-eye-view’, in which the viewer becomes complicit in the beauty and horror of destruction.
