The Living Laboratory is a platform to show student work from Sabine Storp and Patrick Weber’s teaching at The Bartlett School of Architecture, UCL.
Since 2015 our students have been innovating new imaginations of urban life, exploring speculative ideas in the context of widening divides and growing environmental inequalities, inventing new models of living, researched and developed new typologies of inhabitations, questioned policies around housing and worked closely with real communities.
As the urban housing crisis deepens in cities around the world, our students learn from observations of rapid changes, the decline of the provision of social housing and the new challenges of urban life.
