The BA1 Landscape Architecture unit applied the Power of Ten to reimagine urban space, conceiving it as a living network of places, narratives, and connections rather than a mere collection of objects. The unit developed distinct and adaptable interventions, each contributing social, ecological, and cultural value. These were not isolated gestures; instead, they constituted moments that brought people together, bridged the built and natural environments, and established links between the past and future.
During this year, the unit identified three key interventions from a set of options: Interactive Seating, Wayfinding Totem, Storytelling Shelter, Urban Pollinators, and Reimagining Play. These interventions formed a cohesive network of public spaces designed to foster gathering, interaction, and engagement. In collaboration with Westminster Council and Somerset House, the unit extended the themes of the SOIL exhibition into the public realm, employing a unified language of form, texture, and colour.
This work was characterised by boldness and thoughtful intent, seeking to create spaces with enduring resonance. Success was evaluated not only through physical outcomes but also through the stories these spaces articulated, the connections they fostered, and their ongoing evolution within the public realm.

Welcome to the creative and climate-conscious world of BA Landscape Architecture, where design meets environmental responsibility. The undergraduate programme progressively introduces students to a set of innovative tools and methods, that allow exploration into how spaces can be reimagined for both people and natural communities and be beautifully integrated into the environment.
