The Autumn Open Jury is an opportunity for students across the school to present completed projects from the past academic year and is a good moment to reflect on the ideas, themes and methodologies that shaped the work.
Over the course of the day a cross-section of students from across the Architectural Association, ranging from Intermediate, Diploma, Taught Postgraduate and PhD programmes as well as from Core Studies, Electives and Research Labs, will present completed exemplary projects from the 2021–22 academic year.
Projects will be linked to the themes presented in the AA Approaches series earlier this term to reflect how we approach architecture: from space, as part of a system, as part of history, as a story, coming from the streets, from the land, through the material, and on the page.
