'O'

An exhibition showcasing a collaboration between University of East London’s (UEL) BSc Architecture students and London College of Communication (LCC) BA (Hons) Design for Art Direction students. Through the localisation of the De Beauvoir estate in east London as a threshold: an intersection between the two disciplines, they jointly initiate a conversation presenting over 200 works – both physically and digitally – that have been made on and about the De Beauvoir estate. O touches on social and ethical questions related to urban development, aesthetic theory, the material conditions and spatial relationships produced in the built environment. The multi-media, site-specific works displayed show a broad range of the ways in which the participants have found to interact with the estate and the discourses that emerge from their research. From publications to architectural models, O aims to encourage a discursive engagement amongst these two disciplines, and to an audience who engage with it.
