CRITICAL PRACTICE MANIFESTOS: FIVE OF THE BEST

The outcome of our first year module, Critical Practice: Theory, is a manifesto where students argue for an ideal of how they would like to practise. Their Critical Practice Manifesto relates contemporary practice to theories and ideas from within architecture and beyond it, examining the role of the architect in larger contexts, from the construction industry and the creative economy through to humanity and the geosphere. The production of a Critical Practice Manifesto articulates a personal statement of intent about how the student wishes to operate in the future.

Here you can read five of the best manifestos that have been produced so far:
