The Leeds School of Architecture End of Year Show is located in the studios of Broadcasting Place and includes Level 4 to Level 7 student work from the following programmes:
In 2021/22 there have been dynamic engagements between staff and students through our interdisciplinary studio culture facilitated wider resources across the School of Arts. Intertwined with these courses public exhibitions, termly symposia, annual international conferences, exchanges and collaborations with an extensive range of professional practices and institutions locally and worldwide have empowered students and staff to develop work that tackles the most pressing and polemical issues within our society nationally and internationally.
Embedded in the school’s ethos and evident in the exhibition is the way we continuously question what it means to practice as well as our determination to test and expand, via our distinct framework of experimental and ethical pedagogy, architecture’s possibilities and responsibilities within societies, across cultural systems and towards the shared environmental and ecological domains. Beyond the conventional understanding of architecture, interior architecture or landscape architecture, our courses explore the concept of ‘architecture as multiplicity’, unfolding architecture’s intersections with an extended range of disciplines and with its mediated, digitised, coded, augmented and hybridised existences along with the radical potential of new forms of making. The course structures, and as demonstrated in this exhibition format, provide opportunities for planned overlapping of teaching with other School programmes and for students to critically reflect on their own academic journey to acknowledge both how they meet professional criteria and how they position themselves within the wider context of architecture.
