Inside The Bartlett

Creating the future of cities and communities

Our work is all about human spaces. That means physical structures like homes, buildings and cities, but also the invisible structures that govern these things: political and legal systems; financial frameworks and social norms; even our understanding of the past, present and future.

Combining design, history, theory, digital representations and models across all of these areas, we look to understand the structures shaping society today – and we work to make them fairer and more prosperous.

Over 5,000 students join The Bartlett each year to learn, connect and create the future of the world’s cities, human spaces and communities. Learn more about their experiences and what it is like to be part of The Bartlett.
