At USE each student is encouraged to form an individual concept based on a thorough site analysis. The projects follow a (personal) narrative that is born out of the site’s history and its inherent potential and which then transforms into an urban/spatial strategy and/or a building or structure that is developed through all design stages.
The atelier is exploring the boundaries of architectural practice and utilizes the techniques and working methods of other creative disciplines in particular fine art. As a result USE also creates ongoing collaborations between the MArch course and the Department of Art at Manchester School of Art and organizes yearly symposia between the two disciplines.
