Round up of the student shows on Blueprint Magazine

This year the Blueprint team and a panel of 14 critics (one of them me) traveled to student degree shows around the country. After viewing hundreds of presentations from a diverse range of disciplines, we have compiled our findings, bringing you some of this year’s best work from the designers and architects of the future. Be sure to check it out here.

Bartlett Summer Show 2012

 

The Bartlett Summer Show kicked off last Friday at the Slade School of Art in London. Featuring a cacophony of work, from first year to diploma, the week-long exhibition showcases the best of the architecture department at UCL (I may be a little biased, as I did go there myself...). Nevertheless, it is always a feast for the eyes, and in my opinion- since also going round the other London schools this week- one of the best in the country. From intricate hand-drawings and layered card models to rapidly moving zoetropes and inhuman computer renders, the Bartlett students have once again put on a fantastic show, both in the exhibition design (which they put together over an intensive week of framing, painting and welding) and the work within it.
