Inspiring the Next Generation: UCA Architecture

Every year our directors Eleanor and Donald are invited to the University of Creative Arts to support Architecture 3rd year students at SuperStudios.  We review their proposals from a landscape perspective, supporting them to ground their proposals in place with a sensitivity to context and nature.

This year their site is a former industrial site in Milan in a part of the city earmarked for the Winter Olympics 2026.  Part of the challenge with this site is addressing 2 streets, the neighbours and helping the students to navigate through how to create public space and what that space is ultimately used for.  Proposals varied from a gaming conference centre to theatres, to archives for the winter Olympics to recycling plants.  We are looking forward to seeing the final proposals at the #UCASummerShow later in the year.
