Overview
During its three-week AA Summer School programme from Architectural Association, units will set out from Bedford Square to investigate the ways in which the city consumes and metabolises food, energy and togetherness.
The act of eating is performative yet not a performance; it is charged with meaning and shaped by a wide range of relationships for which architecture is an enabler.
The AA Summer School 2023 will investigate the spatial politics of food-related structures and events in a post-Covid-19 environment: markets, street fairs, restaurants, canteens, storage depots, domestic kitchens and commercial facilities will be the protagonists of our summer venture.
Students shall operate collaboratively with a group of tutors from a variety of backgrounds, working towards the installation of a final project that will be exhibited at the AA.
The Summer School programme aims to build creative relationships between a diverse group of people who work together to investigate what architecture is, and what it can be – pushing the boundaries of architectural education beyond the established curriculum.
AA will experiment within the school and out in the city; we will use the AA’s facilities and academic resources; we will party, work, laugh and play. The Summer School enables radical experimentation and freedom – both of which are central to the AA itself.
