Whilst in London this summer I had the great pleasure to attend the 2011 Projects Review. An eclectic assortment of work from arguably the best architecture institution in the world, and it lived up to the name. The work presented from the summer school was superior then the work I had seen in graduation shows else where. As I lost myself in the sheer mass of work and beguiling presentation standards of the AA, it was entertaining to see such an assortment of styles, and environmental conditions explored by the students. But was it more then entertainment, perhaps not.
Such a heavy artistic sway leads many to think twice about the AA as real primer for the industry itself. But in saying, that is why the RIBA holds a part 1 and 2 architect assistant role prior to registration and the alumni roll stops the sceptics in their tracks. Not to mention a impressive teaching staff including; Mark Cousins and Alison Brooks adding to an impressive school which will be discussed in a latter post. The exhibition:
