The Design Workshop (BUDDcamp) is a three-day design exercise in which students are exposed to the challenges of a specific location, allowing them to test theoretical notions throughout the course.
The Design Workshop (BUDDcamp) is a week-long design exercise in which students are exposed to social-spatial challenges in a particular place. After an introduction to the case through lectures and seminars, the students undertake a 3-day intensive practical engagement, exploring the impact of urban design on issues of equality, inclusion and social integration. This provides students with the opportunity to further develop practical skills and becomes a preamble to the overseas practice engagement.

Seeing the city anew: Designing for refugee integration
This years BUDDcamp explored the work of the SPRAR programme, led by the Local Democracy Agency (LDA) Zavidovici in Brescia. The programme works with refugees, assisting them to achieve progressive autonomy, as they integrate and adapt to a new city. Students explored how the city’s design and urban planning processes can help to hinder or facilitate integration. Student’s present their findings, offering a personal journey towards understanding their role as an urban practitioner in designing for social-spatial justice.
