The [CPU]ai MArch 2 students embarked on a year-long studio project, structured across three stages. In Semester 1, they focused on research and problem creation, developing future scenarios to understand and address potential issues. In Semester 2, students advanced their knowledge of urban strategy, planning theory and urban design approaches. They developed computational tools for spatial generation of design, using data-informed methods. The final semester, focused on visual interaction and communication possibilities, including game engines and flythroughs. They analysed statistical readouts to compare iterations against their ambitions, enabling dynamic interaction with changing parameters. Set in East Manchester, the project challenged students to design at building, block or city scale, showcasing their innovative solutions and the potential applications of complex design science approaches. This video shows a snippet of their final outputs. Come and see the full projects on display at the MMU Chatham Building on the 13th June at 17:30! #complexurban #codeyourowntools #zerocarbon #architecture #MSAExhibition2024 #CPUatelier

CPU March1 students were tasked with developing individual adaptive reuse design projects framed by futures and systems theory. This involved collaboration with a live client to address both client and user needs. The client provided two potential sites: the Grade II listed Chatham Mill and a brownfield site south of Archway Halls. These sites aimed to shape future initiatives for Man Met Estates and the MSA, allowing students to evaluate spatial designs for a resilient architectural institution that integrates technological advancements and evolving educational paradigms. Students used innovative computational tools based on complexity science and evidence-based analysis to reimagine an MSA campus that promotes a sustainable, inspiring learning environment. The projects aimed to transform MSA into a vibrant, adaptable and sustainable hub aligned with zero-carbon design principles. #complexurban #codeyourowntools #zerocarbon #architecture #MSAExhibition2024 #CPUatelier

Excited to share a sneak peek of our exhibits at the [CPU]ai End of Year Exhibition! Witness the innovative projects from our talented 3rd-year students, focusing on design, sustainability, and future cities. Join us on June 13th at the MSA Chatham Building. #MSAExhibition2024 #CPUatelier #ManchesterSchoolofArchitecture #Architecture #FutureCities #Innovation

3rd year CPU Atelier students embarked on building-scale projects, gaining a comprehensive understanding of the ‘chair to city’ context. The theme of ‘vocation and skills’ was explored, with a focus on Design, Systems, and Futures. Climate emergency and inclusivity were deeply considered in our projects. Students blended computational and analogue methods, creating diagrams and models to communicate their processes and outcomes. Critical thinking, data-driven design, and rigorous testing were at the core of their learning. CPU’s mantra encouraged experimentation, risk-taking, understanding rules to subvert them, and embracing change and collaboration, resulting in interesting projects. This year’s site is located in the town on Stockport, south of Manchester. The region has a rich history of making, craft and vocational training. The project aims to was to propose a town centre facility to showcase, promote and nurture a digital craft and fabrication ecosystem, aiming to establish stockport’s reputation for innovation. We cordially invite design practices to our Preview Event on Thursday, June 13th, beginning at 17:30 at the MSA Chatham Building.

Excited to share a project flythrough of our Master of Architecture thesis, Urban Access-City, an Urban Design project situated in the Eastern Gateway region of Manchester, UK. Our thesis delves into the intricate balance between accessibility and environmental sustainability, paving the way for a resilient future. As a pivotal aspect of this undertaking, we've pioneered a distinctive computational methodology. This innovative approach allows us to assess various iterations derived from user inputs. These iterations undergo rigorous analysis, yielding insights into their urban masterplan score, user satisfaction score, and environmental sustainability score. At Urban Access-City, we're not just envisioning urban redevelopment, we're crafting a blueprint for accessible, satisfied and sustainable communities.
