This year, the focus of the online exhibition is on process, while the physical exhibition on campus will show the outcomes of the projects. Process, the act of design and how a student gets from A-Z, is so often overlooked due to our fascination with the final product. The online exhibition addresses this gap by uncovering and exposing the drawings, models, and diagrams of student process work, to take the viewer inside each students' design thinking.

Year three is the culmination of the BSc degree. Students are given the opportunity to deploy understanding, knowledge, and abilities accrued in previous years, to develop an ambitious and resolved architectural design in response to a unit brief. In the year 21/22, there has been a highly diverse range of units, 11 in total, covering a wide breadth of architecture. Units have addressed urban, rural, political, cultural, and social contexts all underpinned by the environment. The outcome has resulted in a rich array of work.

Unit tutors are drawn from practice and from the school, with students selecting their unit of choice at the beginning of the year following the design briefs set by each unit team.

We applaud the students' response to the return to on-campus teaching. Back in studio, the students work of this year is determined, ambitious, and thought-provoking.
