Deadline
The deadline for applications has been extended to Monday, 14 April.
UCL Urban Room and Wolff Architects invite UCL students and collaborators to participate in a two-day Studio Intensive (29–30 April), exploring key themes of the Summer Flowers installation. This immersive experience will focus on:
- The Sound Garden – Examining sonic monuments and the role of sound in spatial memory.
- The Library – Archiving as an iterative practice, shaping collective knowledge.
- The pumflet – Engaging with zine-making as a tool for storytelling and critical reflection.
Participants will engage in hands-on sessions guided by architect Ilze Wolff, curator Kara Blackmore, and special guest speakers. This is an opportunity to activate Summer Flowers as an educational resource while fostering a community of shared learning and creative exploration.
The Studio Intensive will take place 29–30 April, 11:00–16:00 daily. Lunch will be provided.
