Welcome to the Birmingham School of Architecture Blog. This webspace presents an ongoing dialogue of work generated by 1st year Architecture and Landscape students at the School. Projects this year will follow the meta-theme of habitation; it can imply living in a domestic setting but more abstractly can represent the occupation of a given environment regardless of the activity occurring within. Occupation is not restricted to living beings but can extend to inanimate objects with issues of containment and how artefacts influence the surrounding space.

DESIGN RESEARCH UNIT 1942-1972
The Design Research Unit created some of the UK’s most iconic pieces of graphic design, from London’s street signs to the British Rail logo. Their work spanned a wide range of scales from iconography to architecture extensions, launching the career of Richard Rogers. A UK touring show, which has started at London’s Cubitt Gallery, celebrates four decades of the group’s work. The exhibition is now at BCU's Bournville campus at the International Project Space until 12 February. Entry is free. Go, now.
