PS1 Brief
&rchitecture is a way of thinking about and practicing architecture.
Rather than starting from within the discipline and moving outwards,

Timetable
There will be an atelier-wide programme of seminars and workshops held
most weeks between 9-10am. This will cover specific elements of the PS1
brief (technology, cohousing, inequality and difference), as well as broader
architectural ideas which you can take forward into M.Arch 2.
For those who are lot located in the UK, we will make every effort to
ensure your tutorials take place at a time which suits the timezone you
are living in.
Our M.Arch1 teaching team includes Jamie Ashmore and Emma Haward,
both practicing architects at leading UK practice HTA Design, ensuring you
will receive the most up-to-date technical and professional knowledge.
Outputs
As a pair, you will each submit an identical 35 page digital portfolio (pdf,
100mb max). This can include interactive elements (such as roll overs for
plan overlays etc.) but these should be used sparingly. The onus is on you
to have a fully functioning PDF – if drawings or details do not work because
of technical errors, then they will not be graded. Test your PDF a few days
before submitting, removed interactive elements if they are unreliable.
