The Bartlett Autumn Show 2023

About

The Bartlett Autumn Show showcases the work of nearly 140 students from two of the school's Master's programmes to a global audience. The show will take place both on and offline, filling our Bloomsbury campus in a vibrant physical show and accessible across the world in our bespoke digital exhibition space.

The exhibition presents work from Landscape Architecture MA/MLA and Architecture & Historic Urban Environments MA. Across these two programmes, students explore histories and theories of ecologies informed by discourses in architecture, art, philosophy, scientific and environmental disciplines. Their work evidences serious and committed research, pioneers new design tools, and presents fresh viewpoints and forms of representation, engaging with place-based strategies of social and environmental care, repair and renewal.

Public Opening Times

10:00 – 20:00, 26 September –  06 October 2023
On the weekends, the exhibition will be open from 10:00 – 17:00, at The Bartlett School of Architecture, 22 Gordon Street, London, WC1H 0BQ.

Please note, the show will be closed to the public on Tuesday 26 September from 15:00 onwards while staff set up for an event in the evening.
