“As one of Britain’s most acclaimed architects and founder of Peter Barber Architects, 2022 Soane Medallist Peter Barber’s practice focuses on social housing and urban planning.

He has been widely celebrated for his inventive approach to design, delivering innovative housing which is both high-quality and affordable. Barber has also developed a number of speculative projects which respond to issues including the housing crisis and the revitalisation of de-industrialised areas.

In recent years Peter and his firm have received several awards, including a lifetime achievement award from the Architects’ Journal and IBA Neave Brown Award for Housing 2021. He was awarded an OBE for services to architecture last year and elected as a Royal Academician in January. Alongside his practice, Peter lectures on architecture at the University of Westminster and was recently invited by the government to lead a discussion on ‘Designing for Better Public Spaces’ with a team of top built environment professionals.”

“Nourishment Pavilion”, Regent’s Park, London, UK _ Student: Nuralein Ali / BA3 _ 31.05.2022

The students were asked to design a “Nourishment Pavilion”, which should include a basic food preparation and serving area, a café and an art space. You need to critically re-interpret the idea and significance of “mind & body” nourishment, as well as address the issue of autonomous architecture and propose a variety of spatial solutions that could benefit and enhance the functions and atmospheres of the adjacent urban fabric of Regent’s Park and its environs, i.e. the areas around London Zoo, Regent’s University, the Open Air Theatre, the Outer Circle, etc.). The pavilion should include a basic food preparation and serving area, a café and an art space.

Each student defined his/her main theme: this was inspired from a variety of sources, e.g. site & context related, and was linked to the site and precedent analysis phase, Landscape Formation One [LF1], by Zaha Hadid.

The disassembling and reassembling operations can be both physical and conceptual. The precedent is analysed thoroughly. The operations and results are geared to help the students develop a basic working method around the ideas of transformation, transposition and displacement of specific elements or/and methodologies into new contexts, providing novel meanings and solutions to London’s dense city fabric.
